FYI, Patiots standout (15 sacks in 2022) pass rusher Matthew Judon will undergo surgery on his torn bicep ... obviously OUT on Sunday.

One less threat we have to worry about coming off the edge.

Our schedule this year is insanely easy. We keep playing bad teams and whenever we play a semi-decent team like Green Bay or New England their stars all get hurt and miss the game. Tampa Bay plays SF, PHI, and BUF, we don't play any team remotely like that. I think DET or LAR may be the best team we play all year.

If we somehow beat NE by 1-3 points because of their key injures, we better not sign DA to a 10 year $100 million extension based on the 3-2 record. Easy schedules are nice for a bad team to have a chance at making the playoffs, but if you read to much into them and give guys like Ruiz, Granderson, and DA extensions based on the possibility of achieving 9-8 with one, you will likely just get demolished the first round of the playoffs and pay for it for years with all the dumb extensions. Then again, if we lose 26-9 to teams like Tampa we won't be going anywhere even with the weakest schedule perhaps of the decade for any team.
