Giardi: NFL Notebook - Patriots will have a lot of of eyes on Bowers; plus, Eagles falling apart?

Who would have guessed the Pats had the depth to survive such issues? Vrabel sounded the alarm after their preseason game against the Eagles.

While I was on Team Vrabel after the blowout of the Raiders, I'm going to part with him after this one. Yeah, it wasn't a Picasso, but I liked this victory and thought there was a lot of good stuff in between A.J. Brown drops and trips to…

The guys break down another solid day for Drake Maye, who finished 18/32, throwing for 235 yards and three touchdowns. They also discuss A.J. Brown's struggles in his return from a high ankle sprain, as well as all the injury problems…

Offensively, Drake Maye played a massive role in willing the Patriots through. The 24-year-old is growing up right before our eyes.

"I just know that you have to be able to continue to improve, and I don't feel like we did. We won, which is the most important thing. I don't think we improved from what we had shown the previous two weeks, and I have to figure out why."

The season is finally here. Perhaps one of the most anticipated Boston Celtics seasons in a while. But not for the same reasons as in the past.

The Jets (who will spin the dial with their coverages) would prefer to play two shell all day long and make Maye throw to the middle of the field, where he's less sure of himself. If the Patriots' run game can pull the Jets out of two…

Maye's completion percentage over expected as a) WAY better than Stafford and Allen against the bottom half, and b) better than both against the top half. That shows elite accuracy against everyone.
