I thought the NEP offense was spectacular and they shouldn’t change a damn thing.
Shoulda benched Brady and Gronk and Edelman too. This didn't look like a great game for Gordon but I didn't think it would be that bad for all Patriots.
It was a football question. Did either sign w NE to replace the oft tardy Joshua Caleb Gordon?
Agreed. I think the lack of NE activity can be seen as a positive towards how they feel about Gordon. Of course, it could be more a statement on how they valued the available guys out there. The reverse would have been super telling. If NE had dealt for a WR today, Gordon guys would for sure be
Exactly. They see him (Gordon) as a major piece of the puzzle. People can argue against all they want, but they may be the same people that choose to watch stats accumulate versus game action.Agreed.

I believe that was Jonas Grey? Gray? Something like that, but yeah I remember. 200 yards and like 4-5 TDs lol.
also on this, there are a couple possibilities here. I know everyone craps on Rapoport, but either his source was straight up wrong, or after it was reported BB said screw the media (which he despises) and started him the whole game. Wouldn't be surprised if BB wants to find the leak too.
Edelman scored 20 in ppr

When is he going to put up WR2 numbers in ppr?After the game Patriots head coach Bill Belichick dismissed the report, and he disputed it again Tuesday during his weekly interview with WEEI’s “Ordway, Merloni and Fauria.” “I don’t know,” Belichick said, as transcribed by WEEI.com. “You’d have to talk to Ian Rapoport on that. I’m not really sure where that’s coming from.” Belichick then expounded, claiming misinformation getting spread is fairly common practice. “(It) happens every day with the media,” Belichick said. “There are things out there every day that I don’t know what the basis is, what it is about. I have a fairly decent familiarity with the team. I see things about our team that I have no idea. I don’t know. You’d have to talk to the people that wrote them. “… Look, we talk about a lot of things and I would doubt that there is a player on our team that hasn’t been involved in some type of situation like this where something was said that they had to respond to, or maybe didn’t respond to, that was let’s call it, not necessarily accurate.”

.... This clear enough for everyone?
At the point I don't care about the report. I want to be able to start him in my fantasy line-up, lol.
This is a FF message board. Of course everyone gets caught up in the Gordon sideshow, but in the end all that matter is what numbers he puts up.
Still not a denial that Gordon was late. All B.B. is saying is that Rapoport was misinformed about Gordon being disciplined. Maybe Gotdon was late, maybe he wasn’t. It really doesn’t make much difference at this point.After the game Patriots head coach Bill Belichick dismissed the report, and he disputed it again Tuesday during his weekly interview with WEEI’s “Ordway, Merloni and Fauria.” “I don’t know,” Belichick said, as transcribed by WEEI.com. “You’d have to talk to Ian Rapoport on that.

I don't believe I posted anything about the report.
Thanks, that's what I here for.
Did people really expect him to join the Patriots midseason and instantly become a force? I saw more people predicting complete and utter failure.
Gordon only played 18% of the snaps 4 weeks ago. His role didn't increase until week 6.
You seriously have been starting him? Come on, man.Thanks, that's what I here for.
Now if I would only listen to myself and leave this bust on the bench. You would think after losing Guice and D, Freeman that Gordon would at least be a viable flex option over the four ww acquisitions I have rostered. What do they say about do the same thing over and over and expecting different results?
But this will be the week he breaks out....
I haven’t wavered and have consistently said Gordon would be an ok fantasy option that should do better later in the season with much better results next year. I believe I said he would be a WR3-4 with weeks with WR2 totals.
Think Jaire Alexander may matchup with Gordon. That guy was ALL over the field against the LAR and held D. Adams in relative check.
I’m talking to Bass who has been trashing him 24/7. While at the same time starting him. ?
Maybe worth pointing out that the TD and mayb 40-50 of those yards was on that one play where Brady had loads of time, threw it up between two defenders, and Gordon just sort of leaned into the ball.
Dude! We’re not allowed to be human anymore!! No more jokes and no more funny business. Act like a robot, respond like a robot. Get that human element OUT OF HERE!!
At this point he can only get zip on his passes when he can fully wind up and step into the throw. The Pats line is still pretty good but not as dominant as they have been for much of his career. I don't think you'll see a lot of good deep balls.
Bears fan here and watched that whole game, Gordon made a great grab but he got those extra yards because of some terrible tackling (Eddie Jackson maybe?).
That last game he was under-throwing everything deep. He has been for a while now - you never used to see receivers coming back to the ball like they’ve done this year. Edelman has seemed to do this at least a couple times a game.
If Alexander was holding Adams in check, somebody was doing defense vey, very wrong! ?
Lol. Apologies.
What difference does that make? He made it happen, and those points count just as any others would. It's kind of part of his game (well was 5 years ago) that he can be counted on to go out-beast guys for jump balls, so discounting it is silly.
I didn't mean it in the usual way - as in 'oh he hasn't really done much'. I'm talking about the kind of routes he's running, where he's being targeted and how he's being used. It was also a question about Brady's arm strength.
In this case I think it makes a ton of difference. His sample size is so small you have to take that in to consideration as we look at things today.Hankmoody said:
Gusting winds was mentioned during the broadcast. May have played a role. JG had that awkward late adjustment like maybe the path of the ball changed or he simply lost it in the lights.
It was terrible for Cooks last year, but Cooks is much faster than Gordon. Harder to time that speed.
They beat the bills, bears, chiefs, colts, and dolphins in their last 5 games. They were favorites to win all 5 of those games and were heavy favorites to win 3 of those games. He did next to nothing in the chiefs game. The one game where he helped play a part in winning was maybe the bears game. Had he not been present for any of those games--the team probalby still goes undefeated--or worst case scenario goes 4-1. Let's not make insinuate any undeserved claims for him playing a major part in the Pats being successful in their last 5.
