It's like Cyrus Jones did everything he could to get a foot on that ball. I guess we should probably say our good-byes to him tonight.

And now Slater with the kick-off fumble. I think they just need to play without anybody receiving kicks.

Without those fumbles and the ridiculous INT by Brady, the Pats would be up by quite a bit more. Will be really said if we lose this one.
Id be shocked to see jones cut if thats the implication.
If this were his first mistake, but he's hsd 4.

They really need to see something special in him to keep him on this roster going forward.

I suppose they kept him after the first three fumbles so anything is possible. BB doesn't usually have much patience for butter-finger players.

Edit: huge let down again for Jones...

Worse than inexplicably deciding to play footsy with the bouncing ball, was not even making an attempt to dive on the ball afterwards.  The guy is totally lost out there.

Take the win!
Yup

That strip sack which was ruled "forward progress" was a truly horrible call. Just atrocious, suspiciously so. Never seen such a fast, fluid sack stopped due to forward progress.

Found the vid of the play here (though the author of the post in the link is severely misguided)

I like the Floyd signing.  The locker room seems to like him and hopefully he learns his lesson on the DUI front.  I feel like he could do really, really well here.  Belichick will just release him if he doesn't stop partying and we freed up money for this season by moving Jamie Collins.  TP for the news.

Agreed. It seems like a no brainer for a contending team. Doesn't make sense for a team like Cleveland, of course.

Crazy freaky play near the end of the Seattle-L.A. game: Seattle perfectly executes a fake punt, with the punter taking the snap and running straight up the gut with tons of open field ahead, but near the end of the play—with no one touching him, no one even near him—he loses the ball, bobbles it a couple of times, then grabs it as he's falling, gets hit as he hits the ground, fumbles and gets injured, but Seattle recovers and ends up with a 33-yard gain.

Take a look.

Isn't the possibility of a compensatory draft pick a possible reason to pick him up, and then retain him until the end of the season?

Yeah, both young QBs coming into their own. Obviously Carr has had more success, but Mariota has looked good in many games. I think they will both be starting in the playoffs next year. Also, both get saved from playing the buzzsaw that is Tom Brady.

Tom's on a mission. His brand has taken a hit. Right or wrong, the guy cares about how he's perceived. He doesn't want deflated balls anywhere near the end of his story. He is deserving of the MVP this year, and his team is the odds-on-favorite to win the Super Bowl. Patriots fans have a lot of reasons to be grateful.

Merry Christmas!

What a block by Floyd to spring Edelman.

Got a hand to the guy, he definitely made his presence known today.  Something to make the headaches seem very worth while.

Normally I don't care about MVP awards, all-star/pro-bowl appearances, HOF -- but this year's NFL MVP vote is intriguing to me given the deflategate suspension.   Does Brady deserve the award with his 28/2 TD/Int ratio, 112 qb rating?
Matt Ryan should be the biggest competition and I think it will difficult to vote against him. Going into today Ryan had 34 TDs to 7 ints, 115 qb rating, over 4000 yards.  Guy is deserving.   Who would you vote for?
