    But Belichick is ahead of the game now, apparently.
    Funny how some have that take. Belichek does it and its good. Tomlin does same and its end of the world

        Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

        Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

        We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

        We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

            Jake Bailey needs work as Stephen Gostkowski’s holder
            By Charean Williams | Aug 22, 2019, 10:03 PM EDT

            The Patriots already miss Ryan Allen.

            Rookie Jake Bailey has done just fine punting. He has three punts for a 46.7 yard average with one downed inside the 20-yard line.

            His holding skills, though, appear to need some work.

            Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski missed a 43-yard field goal wide left with three seconds remaining in the third quarter. The Patriots’ television broadcast, via Mike Reiss of ESPN, showed a close up of Bailey’s hold.

            The laces were turned in, toward Gostkowski, instead of out.

            Allen served as Gostkowski’s holder since Allen joined the Patriots in 2013.

            The Patriots released Allen earlier this week
