    huge if true and IF you can make a lot of this into "wire" relatively inexpensively. that will be the true challenge...mass production. just because it works "small" scale doesn't mean you get a lot cheaply and can it be done in powerful enough wires to be avail for consumer. right now it is...

    2023 NFL Offseason Thread - Now with less QB sneaks!

    YES the afc is ridiculous, BUUUT, LAST year the 2 wild cards had a 10-7 record, patriots -yes the schedule is hard- could make the playoffs with a 10-7 record this year, that is a 2 win gain. a COMPETENT offense last year, the patriots would have made the playoffs-28 pts is all they needed...

    2023 NFL Offseason Thread - Now with less QB sneaks!

    i know it is VERY VERY early in the year with no games played or even real practices, but i am cautiously optimistic about the Patriots offense this year, of course ANYTHING would be better than the clusterfuck that was LAST year. in the OTA's Mac is looking good, and thornton looks like he...

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    Pretty damning article about the pats ineptitude on offense this year in the Boston herald. Players would ask the coaches what if the defense adapts to a play called how to we adjust before the snap...and the coaches (judge and patricia)didn't know what to do. Thus the lack of adjustments by the...

    surprising pretty much no-one. looks like the Patriots are hiring Bill O'Brien as OC to replace what they had this year: ren and stimpy. HOPEFULLY the patriots offense will be Competent next year due to this-o'brien knows jones, and they did work together for a bit at alabama. O'Brien knows the...
