Because they have one of the best DCs as HC. I'm happy I'm only playing in IDP leagues. Never get why DST is such a big thing.

ME, AUGUST: "LOL @ drafting a defense in the 10th, I just nailed down my 4th WR spot with DeSean Jackson!" But it is never the right D that gets drafted high. Regardless of how well they are doing, it is always bad strategy to reach for a D. Link to post Share on other sites

NE isn't holding a team like KC, or even Baltimore to under 10 points, so then you need a TD to have a double digit week. Pats can absolutely hold the Ravens to a small poont total. Ravens havent played anyone decent at D. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

jamor 20 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 With the addition of Sanu this season is over. NE will take the championship without even breaking a sweat. I think most would agree. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It will not matter, the Patriots up the game against superior teams, they also find ways to win either in a shoot out with KC in the Conference Final or hold those mighty Rams to 3 points in last years Super Bowl. Just remember that same Ram team averaged 33 points per game during the regular season. Link to post Share on other sites

Any other brain busters? A Ben Roethlesberger lead Steelers team is a team with a solid offense with or without Antonio Brown. The fact that you're basing your opinion of the Steelers having a weak offense on games that Roethlesberger didn't play in is cute. Any more pointless riddles?

BMcP 8,287 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Give him credit for (finally) playing by the rules. One of these days, he’ll get one of his starters hurt by keeping them on in a blow-out, and it will (maybe) change his tune. Link to post Share on other sites

The Saints have beaten the Pats like once in the past 15 years lol. All I know is Michael Thomas wouldn't have done s--- against Gilmore and the run-defense and pass rush were good enough to neutralize Brees and Kamara. The Rams had more talent at the skill positions than the Saints last season and got embarrassed. Link to post Share on other sites

You greatly underestimate the saints, the Rams got shut down cause Hurley wasn't on the field but instead on a bike Link to post Share on other sites
