He's amazing. He really is. He loves destroying the Jets.

Patriots trade for Muhammad Sanu

[Wally Pryor 5244]

Was waiting on this.   Sanu isn't spectacular but he should fit in well w/ the offense.  Gordon's knee may be iffy for the rest of the season, Edelman is forever injured (yet always effective) and who knows when / if N'Keal Harry will play this season.

Here’s where things got dumb. Brain genius Adam Gase identified that Belichick might prefer to give his punter more space, and, in a fit of pettiness, resolved to deny his counterpart this most minor of prizes. Gase declined the delay of game penalty, sticking the Patriots back at the 33. But that was ultimately a hollow victory, and one possibly baited by Belichick—by a quirk of the rules, the game clock was restarted following the ball being reset and the play clock being whistled to life, which allowed Belichick to run another 25 seconds off before punting. Belichick, having thus won the prerogative to burn more than a minute off the clock between plays, decided the fun thing to do would be to take a second crack at giving his punt team five additional yards of space, and instructed his team to take a deliberate false-start penalty just before the expiration of the play clock.

Afterward, Belichick admitted that he’d knowingly exploited a loophole in the rules in order to run off some additional clock with his team way ahead. The five yards of space might’ve been a nice bonus, but from the sound of things, what Belichick really wanted was to use the opportunity to flex his big brain and take a little ill-gotten advantage:

 

Quote

“It was just the way the rules were set up, Belichick told reporters at his postgame press conference. “We were able to run quite a bit of time off the clock without really having to do anything.”

Belichick closed with saying that this little trick to consume clock should and probably will be banned from usage.

“It’s probably a loophole that will be closed,” Belichick said. “It probably should be closed but right now it’s open.”

This is the kind of shit you can get up to when you’re light years ahead of your opponent, and you’ve spent your career scouring every rule and regulation for every possible exploitable vulnerability. It’s what makes Belichick the best, and also what makes him pure evil.

Gase isn't the first. Ask (John) Harbaugh or any other # of coaches, some of them good ones. 

Freddie Kitchens is not a good one.   Bill hates the Browns.  He especially hates loud mouth, asshole QBs. Watch what happens in Foxboro Sunday. 

And, yes, that smile / smirk was priceless.

The smirk slayed me.

Looks like the Jets are pissed about Darnold's ghost remark being aired. What a bunch of damn babies. He will never live down that comment with this media and fanbase.

Why is seeing ghosts a bad thing again?

It's him basically admitting that they were deep in his head, had him scared to throw, and fearing getting hit in the backfield.

I mean, it's obvious that that was the case to anyone who watched the game...but, as a competitor, you can't admit it. 

[UpperWestside 6136]

The Jets can be angry that it was aired, but it's still funny and they look ridiculous defending it. In this market, especially, he just said something you should never say when you know your comments are being recorded. He looks weak and lost and no team wants their leader to look like that. Being that this is the Jets you can book it that this will not end well. Adam Gase being the head coach should hammer that one home.
