BSJ Daily Briefing 09.11.17

Good morning!

Well, I'm sure after watching Sunday's NFL action that everyone feels a little bit better about the Patriots' struggles.

In short, the NFL again has a problem with terrible play early in the season. It's due to the training camp practice restrictions, and it's not good for the game.

It favors the teams that have more continuity, like the Chiefs. They basically have everyone back from last season. The Patriots made a lot of changes in key spots this offseason. The hope is it pays off for them down the road, but it's not going to look pretty early on. That's just the way it is.

In case you missed it yesterday, BSJ had a big day on Sunday. First, we announced a new addition to bring you more bang for your buck here: the addition of Mr. PatsCap, Miguel Benzan. If you don't know him, you're going to love the info he'll bring to the site.

And BSJ crossed 5,000 paid subscribers.
