8 hours ago8 hr No. Well, I'm rooting for the Patriots (I grew up in CT), and so far the only highlights for me have been a couple defensive plays by Christian Gonzalez.

6 hours ago6 hr No. 49 minutes ago, Red Eddy Green said:I just saw " Once a DUCK, Always a DUCK " Brendan Schooler on The Pats.It will always be an awful decision to move him from defense to offense. He would have been a star in an Oregon uniform if he stayed on defense.

At every level of football, schedules matter.The Pats were bad four seasons in a row and were rewarded with the NFL's easiest schedule this season.Bo doesn't go down, and Denver would have had a shot at winning it all. In the last game of the season, Drake and Dante were both overwhelmed. I think Drake Maye will win a Super Bowl one day. But he needs more seasoning. A better O-line would also help. Meanwhile, Gonzo was great! QUACK!After the robbery 11 years ago, Seattle deserved this win.
1 hour ago1 hr No. I was impressed with NFL pass coverage. It was a step ahead of college. There were no windows when the DBs did their thing. Drake Maye not only was not good at moving in and out of the pocket, he misfired too many times to give his team a chance to win. But some of that was Seattle's defense that would not let New England run the ball and thus made them one dimensional. As a Portland resident, I rooted for the Seahawks to support the northwest. But if Portland had an NFL team and Seattle did not, I know that almost nobody from Seattle would have been rooting for Portland. Funny how it works out that way. As I was watching Seattle's D line in total amazement, I don't think the backups the Ducks lost to the portal were of the same caliber. But I did wish that Tionne Gray and Terrance Green stuck around as quality backups and rotational pieces. Finally, that game was yet another reminder that the quarterback is the most important position. Darnold did not have time either, but he made decisions and throws under pressure that Maye was not making.
