Gronk needs to stay fit for the whole season, and we really need Revis to sort out our points conceded. Brady is a God but way too often he has to get God-like figures every game just to keep us in touch/marginally ahead.
Also, Merging this into the NFL Thread.

I think the receivers need to step up this year especially Dobson and Thompkins. They have had a year now to get used to the NFL and learn the plays, time to step up because you know if they open Brady will find them? Do you watch many games or just try and catch the Patriots? My wife is American so we throw big "tailgate parties" at our house. |

Yep, concern with our offence is who we're going to be throwing the ball to. Last three years we've had one guy taking a lot of catches and racking up over three figures in receptions. Last season Edelman was basically the lone option a lot of the time; he and Brady seem to have a good understanding either because of that or it just happened anyway. If we keep everyone fit and spread the receptions around a bit, it should be good news.
It depends on time really. I like American Football as a sport, so will watch any game if it's on and I have time. Make the extra effort to watch Pats games when I can though.

Jacksonville are putting up some seriously surprising numbers at Phillie. Didn't see that coming at all.
Pats have done well so far, happy enough.

Start of the second half, we're having the same problems I've been moaning about for ages. We aren't protecting Brady well enough again. Drives me mental.

Yeah mate! Love a bit of American Football. Been watching for about 10-12 years now.
Pats have been hammered in the second half. As I said: not enough protection for Brady and we seem to have completely abandoned any attempt at a ground game. When your QB is being got at so easily, I can't figure out why we keep giving him the ball to throw. Missing genuinely top class running backs.

Broncos Colts was a great game, we just held on. I can see a re-match of last years Super Bowl, maybe even the same championship games.
BTW, I'm biased but fair play to Pot Roast Knighton for breaking from the herd and publicly calling for that scrote Rice to be thrown out of the league. Pathetic from the NFL.

Season starts proper on Sunday afternoon. Seatte and Green bay kicked it off late on Thursday night, didnt watch it live but saw the highlights and I have to say Seattle look like they could easily go back to back this year. My top 3 team to watch are. 1. Seattle for obvious reasons. 2. The Patriots always find a way to win and with the additions in the defence paticulary Revis Island, Gronk coming back and Brady just being Brady I think they will be a force this year. 3. The bengals for me are my sneaky pick. Not many people are talking about them but they showed signs last year that they could be an emerging team and with Dalton as QB I think they could make a run deep into the playoffs. Any fans on here? Who is your team? Who do you think can make the superbowl this year? Broncos defence will be far better than last year. |

Yeh saw the highlights and I like what Talib brings to the table. Hard to see how teams aregoing to shape up but Denver looked good.Just seen ray rice got dropped by the ravens, women beating bastard |

My team is da Bears, has been since I watched game in Chicago, Bobby Douglas at QB, and I got Butkus to sign my autograph. For one year, they were far and away the best team in the league, then that fooking pissweasal McCaskey sold the team out from under the fans. Fooker should have been publicly hung !! No superbowl for me  But I'll always love that team. |

Not only the punch, but the way he just casually drags her out of the lift and tries standing her up and stuff. It's like a wind-up video or something. |

I go all the way to Manchester and I still can't get away from Patriot and Bronco fans. Shit!
All kidding aside, lifelong Charger fan. More of a prisoner than a fan really.
