New England Patriots

[rickyh24]

Trivia time. Quickest to 100 wins. Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Joe Montana or Steve Young????

[pathetic]

[rickyh24]

Lololololololol

[thebestauntie]

Are you kidding me?! :lol

[pathetic]

chung!!! pick 6!!!!!!

[hbktonyb]

These picks aren't so much the Pats D as it is Henne's terrible passes.

[dduncan6er]

Chung is having himself a great game!

[pathetic]

no wonder why they were running it :lol where's pennington? his arm fall off yet?

[rickyh24]

These picks aren't so much the Pats D as it is Henne's terrible passes.

Cool.....

[JRS1386]

Woo victory! Good thing I got the D off the waivers like two days ago.

[hbktonyb]

Cool.....

Just sayin, kinda true.

Pennington > Henne

[thebestauntie]

Wow, lame, not a touchback. Trade that kicker.

[TempHelpNeeded]

That last pick was all on Marshall though. You don't just stop your route right before he unloads. :lol


Awesome. I'm lovin' it!

[pathetic]

Just sayin, kinda true.

Pennington > Henne

:lol maybe in college, or before pennington's 10 injuries

[hbktonyb]

Wait Penny is their number 3??

[pathetic]

although i college pennington was lobbing it up to moss

[buzz05232000]

chad p can't throw it 15 yards

[hbktonyb]

Thigpen...blolololololol :Lol

[thebestauntie]

That last pick was all on Marshall though. You don't just stop your route right before he unloads. :lol


Awesome. I'm lovin' it!
Maroney! :lol

[rickyh24]

Get the ball back. I want to see a crooked number up there.

[TempHelpNeeded]

Maroney! :lol


How'd he do this week?

[thebestauntie]

How'd he do this week?
I have no idea, but I will always follow your posts in the Patriots thread with "Maroney!" :lol

[rickyh24]

Setting records.

[pathetic]

2nd half was great!!!! hopefully this team can learn a lot during their week off

[TempHelpNeeded]

This is their best second half in years!

[rickyh24]

Big big win. And moss didn't record a catch :lol

[pathetic]

brady fucking pumped!!!!

love that shot! watch out for this team. got unibrow's team in a couple weeks

[rickyh24]

Howyer getting to see some action :lol

[dduncan6er]

That was a great win over a quality football team.

[pathetic]

Howyer getting to see some action :lol

hahahaha goes down for 1 rush -2 yards for hoyer

[TwoStep2888]

I don't like to be negative in other teams' threads, but Tom Brady needs to cut his fucking hair.


edit: and, as much as I dislike him, 100/131 is insane. Nice fucking job.

[pathetic]

omg tom brady needs to cut his hair but troy polamalu and clay matthews dont? why dont people get over it? are you bald or something?

[TwoStep2888]

Tells rock star Tom to lose the look he will.

[pathetic]

are you angrily coming into a thread for the first time being negative because of someone's haircut?

no, im not mad i just listen to a lot of sports radio in boston and thats a main issue

[rickyh24]

The Patriots are now the only team in league history to score touchdowns by rushing, passing, INT return, kickoff return and return of a blocked field goal attempt in the same game.

I was just reading the thread and saw Brady being interviewed and thought "He hair look silly." no anger, I just think it is sillyhair

Sports Radio is always a bad decision, unless it's Chicago's 670thescore after a Bears' loss. Those two hosts yell and cry and it's the funniest shit ever.

Hi Ricky :hug

PATRIOTS=Special Teams! DOLPHINS=Special Needs

:lol :lol

[dmbgodagirl41]

blolololololphins.

Not too happy about the bye next week. Boo. Just when we were getting our groove back!

[hbktonyb]

After returning from the bye, New England will host Baltimore, play at San Diego, host Minnesota, then, after a trip to Cleveland, face Pittsburgh on the road and Indianapolis at home.

That's a tough schedule.

[rickyh24]

Its a tough schedule but it doesn't look nearly as tough as it did at the start of the year.

[dmbgodagirl41]

id give up my left boob to see them slaughter Minny and Indy.

[rickyh24]

Any update on merriweather's injury?

[thebestauntie]

Yes he does.
omg tom brady needs to cut his hair but troy polamalu and clay matthews dont? why dont people get over it? are you bald or something?
Brady does need to cut his hair, Troy Polamalu needs to go away, but Clay Matthews is perfect. ;)

[pathetic]

Any update on merriweather's injury?

WEEI is still just reporting a knee injury and it was "doubtful" that he'd return into last night's game...obviously :lol

Wait for it...
"Dude, stop running the ball, you look like some kind of retarded white giant with epilepsy."

[rickyh24]

Yeah what a fail that is.

[hbktonyb]

Its a tough schedule but it doesn't look nearly as tough as it did at the start of the year.

Jets upcoming opponents are Minn, @ Denver, Green Bay, at Detroit, at Cleveland, Houston, Cinci.

Then they finish with Pats, Miami, at Pitt, at Chicago, Buffalo. Both teams have some tough games left. That Dec. 6th game could decide the division.

[rickyh24]

Miami fired their special teams coach :lol

[pathetic]

:lol meriweather on EEI now

he's hilarious to listen to

[pathetic]

Miami fired their special teams coach :lol

:lol im surprised he got fired before the bears offensive line coach (mike tice)

Miami fired their special teams coach :lol
Seriously? That's awesome! :lol

Henne is next to go :lol

My friend was probably WRECKED and slurred like Shannon Sharpe when he asked. :lol

If I met tommy, there'd be one of two outcomes: 1. a restraining order because I'd literally try to mount him or 2. I'd just stand there, frozen, not able to say a word, looking like an idiot. I'm gonna go with #2 being more likely.

[thebridge15]

Miami fired their special teams coach :lol:lol

Really fun game to watch. Dynasty.

[dmbgodagirl41]

I really hope that the Pats bend Ray Lewis over and make him squeal like the overrated murderer that he is. If I have to hear one more Baltimore fan talk about how their team is going to the Super Bowl this year, I might seriously get shot.

[rickyh24]

Ray lewis overrated. :lol oh katie.

[pathetic]

ray lewis and ed reed might be two of the scariest mf'ers in football. i would not want to piss either of them off...

If you had to listen to the shit talking assholery of that fuckface every monday morning during football season, you'd think the same thing.

No one cares if you think you're awesome. your BBQ place was mediocre at best, and now it's out of business, you murdering dick. Shut up and get to practicing/collecting social security. You're days are numbered, roid head.

Not too happy about the bye next week. Boo. Just when we were getting our groove back!

yea. I felt the same way with the Cowboys and their bye week this week.

I guess the Dolphins are not as good as everyone thought. I just don't understand some of the stupid stupid things they did...Wildcat on 3rd and 6..that just screams WE'RE RUNNING THE BALL!! and I know they went down a couple, but in the first few drives they were moving the ball at will..why did they get away from Williams and the Run.

14 pts on special teams and 7 on defense is just being a very not good football team

[rickyh24]

That first wildcat play was hilarious. :lol

I'm sure this will be for a fucking 2nd round pick or something. Fuck this team.

Can't wait for people to see what Randy Moss really provides even when he doesn't catch a pass.

[Nick@Night]

It'll be 1998 all over again. ;)

[jaking1185]

No sweat.

Truth:thumbsup

Look no further than the Vikings w/o RIce so far. And Rice is no Moss. Imagine Both of them together...sshhheeeiiiit. Shianco and Harvin will be wide open. Did I mention Adrian Peterson. I should probably settle down and not jinx this:lol

[seekupchuck]

You mean losing in the NFC Championship game? You should be used to that.

ALways better than playing checkers at home! Good luck covering these guys if this happens. Paging Jarret Bush....Mr. Peprah? AHHHHH!!! Good luck.

And I mean the same thing with or without Moss...but with him...good luck in the second half of the decade!!!

Just pay the man

[RJP2741]

Because you think its unfounded or because it would be stupid for NWE to pull the deal?

Well it looks like it might turn out to be both. But from a football standpoint it's a dumb move, really for both sides. I'm pretty sure big time WR have a horrible track record when moving to a new team in season. And the Pats would basically be giving up on the entire year. Even if Moss isn't have a Moss-like year he demands double teams and opens up the rest of the field, even if he's not catching balls he's still helping this offense a lot.

For the Vikes it really wouldn't be that hard. Favre need someone to throw the ball up to. And moss can jump up and get it with the best of them.

That part I cannot argue with. He is terrible that way.

[jackisback24]

I don't like the deal at all, not for a 3rd rounder. I don't care if he's a distraction or not, BB better not get ahead of himself just because of Monday night's win. I would rather keep him than a 3rd rounder, quite frankly. Funny how we got him for a 4th rounder from Oakland.

[TwoStep2888]

Curran:

So where do we stand? Looking warily at our computers and Blackberries as conflicting information pours in on a possible deal that would send Randy Moss to the Vikings.

What the hell, let's do a roundup.

Jay Glazer at Fox Sports says the Vikings and Moss are still working on a new contract and that a deal sending Moss to Minny might happen even without a new deal.

Jason LaCanfora at the NFL Network says there has been no contact between Moss and the Vikings and no permission granted to do so.

Our own Gary Tanguay said that a pissed-off Moss had a dustup with Bill Belichick today and that Belichick picked up the phone and tried to deal Moss.

ESPN's Chris Mortensen has a player source confirming that the teams are trying to get a deal done.

My take? I've spoken to Patriots sources. I've spoken to teammates of Moss. I've spoken to Vikings coach Brad Childress (a guy who's got a spotty record with the truth when it comes to football matters). If something was up, it is now down. Laid to rest, put to bed.

Will it rise again? With Randy Moss, it always does.

A lot of vague contradictory stuff. I still think it'll happen.

[TwoStep2888]

Ok so I'm just going to throw this out there for laughs...

Randy Moss and Tom Brady for 3 years of draft picks.

Deal or No Deal?

If I was the Vikings? Yes. Fuck yes, in fact.

[gripes81]

So is moss going to the vickings?

Randy Moss and Tom Brady for 3 years of draft picks.

Deal or No Deal?

Um no. They can have Moss honestly he's gone after this year either way. He's starting to pull the patented bitchy/baby Moss shit. Just get SOMETHING for him is all I ask. Something that helps this team now. Not a fucking third rounder. Brady is not going anywhere :lol With Brady it only take a snap of the finger to replace Moss with another elite WR once the opportunity presents itself......and hes also kind of a good QB.

[UNLTrpt]

If I was the Vikings? Yes. Fuck yes, in fact.

Oh of course the Vikings do that deal without hesitation, I was just wanting to gauge what Pats fans would say.

It doesn't surprise me that you say that. Again, I was just throwing it out there for laughs.

[gripes81]

Mike and mike are reporting that moss is going to the vickings for a 3rd rd pick..."it looks like its a done deal"

[CrashDMB237]

Jesus... a third rounder? Well I guess you got him for a fourth so that's good value, but still. It makes the Patriots a whole lot easier to cover now.

[DMBstandUP1984]

I was the first one in the bar to hear about the Moss trade..and I'd have to say I almost bought a round for everyone in there...

Pats just went from at least what could have been a 11-5 team to a 9-7 team.

[rickyh24]

Deal is about to get done for a third rounder. Ridiculous.

[rickyh24]

Pats just went from at least what could have been a 11-5 team to a 9-7 team.

:lol so they are still better than the colts and cowboys then.

[Crush086]

Getting rid of Moss does nothing but help Baltimore in 2 weeks.

Strong trade.

[rickyh24]

Yes that is all it does. Helps baltimore :lol

[rickyh24]

I think people forget how good this offense was without moss. I'm not a big fan of getting rid of him but I'm not dumb enough to count out this offense because of this move. That's just me though.

[dmbmuskie]

I think people forget how good this offense was without moss. I'm not a big fan of getting rid of him but I'm not dumb enough to count out this offense because of this move. That's just me though.

This negatively impacts the Pats on Madden. That's all we know for sure.

Let's be honest for a second here. Moss is still a pretty good WR, and would probably run circles around Baltimore's crappy secondary. Taking him out, and with nobody to replace him (trade wise) only helps the Ravens. In theory anyways.

Of course, the Pats could still go crazy against the secondary with or without Moss, but not having to worry about covering him helps.

[Clem Haskins]

Vikings fan here, we all want Moss back.

But damn, you Pats fans are gonna have some nice draft picks this year:
1st round: your pick, oaklands pick.
2nd round: your pick, carolinas pick.
3rd round: your pick, Vikes pick.
4th round: your pick, broncos pick.

Scary stuff.

[pathetic]

dumb dumb dumb. trading away moss for a 3rd rounder

[pathetic]

I think people forget how good this offense was without moss. I'm not a big fan of getting rid of him but I'm not dumb enough to count out this offense because of this move. That's just me though.

this offense will still be GREAT.

losing a lot with moss, but the offense is built around so many other weapons.

new avatar change...coming up

I'm definitely not counting out the offense, but you're talking about 2006. The cast you had back then is a whole lot different than what you have now. You had guys that could get open and command attention. Right now you have Welker who will without a doubt be doubled and a bunch of unprovens... and as good as they've looked, they've done it with the help of Moss.

Scary stuff.

Youth is always good, but let's not forget the growing pains that defense is going through. The Patriots are STACKED for the future and this gives them insane amounts of options. With Oakland's pick, they can get a top 3 running back in the draft... and still have a pick later in the round to take a top 5 linebacker. But not all youth pans out by year 2 or 3.

[pathetic]

if you double welker you have to worry about tate as a deep threat and edelman as a dangerous slot receiver. also the tight ends will be mixed in more. letting moss go for a 3rd rounder was prob the best they'd get but it still wasnt a great move

[maxpower00044]

Great news! Anything that can make these pompous asses worse, is fine by me.

obviously NE thinks this team wont skip a beat without moss, hopefully they are right. this will def allow brady to scan the field more and not think about forcing it to randy

That is the exact thing that killed them week 2. You don't think brady can be better when he doesn't worry about keeping a wide out happy?

Something tells me that a top 3 QB in the game cares a lot more about making a play than making a WR happy. And unless Tom said otherwise somewhere and I missed it, I will never believe it.

You can tell from watching the games that he's forced a lot a throws Moss' way when there were other opportunities on the field.

Moss is some kind of stupid if he thinks going to the Vikings is going to show anyone "how much he deserves".

Hmm, lets think about this. Leaving a play-off contending franchise with the potential for a ring (really tough to do, but still potential), to go to a team where if the geriatric QB gets injured, he's going to have to rely on Tavaris fucking Jackson. Also, leaving the best head coach in the NFL to, well, uhhhhhhh.........?

Without looking it up, who is the Patriots backup? How many games has he started?

Who has played more games the past 5 years, Brady or Favre? Who has been injured more?

Sure, Favre is a fucking grandpa. But this if football. Anyone can get knocked out on any given play.

[hbktonyb]

As a Jet fan I love this move, because no matter how you look at it, it makes the Pats offense a little bit worse than it was. Their offense will still be a beast though, because I think Brady is that good. I do think Moss was worth more than just a 3rd rounder. Also gives the Jets an opportunity to put Revis on Welker and they will have a better chance to shut down the passing game.

The Pats draft is going to be ridiculous though with all those picks. They really are a good franchise - remaining competitive while stockpiling a ton of picks. a

You do know Moss intentionally drops passes when he's not happy, right? Plus, gotta throw to him for him to catch a ball. Moss has been slacking because he wanted out of New England, not because he can't catch.

He was being a bitch last year too.

[rickyh24]

I think things just went south with him after brady got the deal. There may be a lockout next year so moss wanted to make sure he had a paycheck coming next year too. So he started to vocally bitch. I honestly don't think he was in this teams plans moving forward anyways.

The guy is a bitch, but if he gets TDs and W's, then whatever. Come on now, you should know that's the Boston mentality when it comes to sports.

Now, when you're a bitch, dropping shit on purpose and you have an overall "my life sucks on this team" attitude, go be poison somewhere else. He had the bitch attitude the past couple years, too, for the record.

[maxpower00044]

He always has the bitch attitude. I know how this worked. If you remember correctly the Eagles had the bitch of all bitches on the team for a year. (I'm sure Pats fans remember that) I can totally understand where you guys are coming from.

[Clem Haskins]

Welker is a stud, but you should be checking out Brandon Tate, as he is the new deep threat. Welker's role will not change. He'll probably get more looks without Moss, but he isn't the same vertical kind of guy. Clearly Welker now has more fantasy value, but he by no means is going to be getting the once-intended-for Moss deep balls.

[Clem Haskins]

Bryan Hoyer, I think, is the Pats backup.

But we all know Brady can go down (...knocking on wood, too...), and have a no-name show up and win 9 games, so good try. :)

i have no doubt welker will continue to be good but im still gonna watch. having moss on the same field certainly helps.

[rickyh24]

what are your thoughts?

It definitely doesn't make them a better team right now. I'm not worried about the offense though. A lot of people seem to think they will instantly be below average. That is not going to happen. Either way this team is going to go as far as the defense can take them. Moss or no moss.

[gripes81]

Good job moss...he bitched enough to get sent to the vickings? How retarded is he, sure they might be able to salvage this season but you know farve is gone after this year once those social security checks start coming in the mail. Then what is he left with...jackson...ahahahahahahahahahah. I love it, he's never gonna get a ring cause he couldn't get out of his own way...and I think this is Bills way of saying he won't be fucked with by a player...ever, and maybe not this week or the next, but at some point this year Randy Moss was gonna start to break the locker room up. I also like it cause the Indy secondary can use all the help it can get right now so ty pats

brady and receivers that can catch the ball are all this team needs to move the ball down field. The TE's are going to have a huge rest of the season

wouldn't be shocked if Pats try to move up in the draft when Ingram is ready by trading a pick but in any event I'd guess it's plausable that 2 or 3 of these 50 players could be wearing a Pats uniform next year.

I agree with this. It makes them slightly worse, but Brady and Welker are so good that it may not matter. It does make it a little easier for defenses to put their best defender on Welker though (Revis).

[dmbgodagirl41]

NE has enough offensive weapons to be fine. If they could just keep their D/ST sharp like they did Monday, everything will be okay. That is where they fall apart, IMO, not on the offense.

Yeah I think some people are understating the effect Moss had on the Pats' offense, drawing doubles literally all the time, freeing up receivers like Welker to operate against easier coverage. However, Tom Brady was great at the screen/slant/etc offense before 07, so I think they'll be ok, even without a HOF vertical monster like Moss.

Ok the other receivers were so effective because of Randy Moss being on the field with him

Look at the Woodhead TD, Moss was in the end zone with two guys on his hip

How they going to win shootouts with out a real number one receiver? They almost lost a shootout with the bills and that was WITH Moss...Welker and the two TEs are going to see a lot more of the safety then they did before.

Welker and the two tight ends and edelman. when welker went down last year edelman stepped right up and put up similar type numbers which was fantastic for a rookie WR converted from a QB....now welker will be double teamed and the TE's and edelman will do work with tate being the deep threat. obviously it's not moss, but this offense will adapt to what they have now which is still a great offense

I don't think they are sunk without Moss (but i was never a Moss fan boy no matter what team he was on). I don't think this move made them a better them obviously not having om the field is going to hurt them. They said they didn't want to trade him, but he asked for it and was clearly not on his best behavior this year.

For the sake of you guys I really hope so. Edelman has not done much to impress me this year, Welker is still not at 100%..and there is still not big running threat. I think Hernandez has looked the sharpest this year, the kid clearly has talent.

[jackisback24]

I wasn't a Moss fan boy(girl) either, but his production for the Patriots was undeniable. I will miss that for sure. But I also knew that one day his attitude would go down the tubes and he'd start behaving like a petulant child, and I'm with letting the petulant child go.

[DMBstandUP1984]

I pointed out his contract seasons always seem to be his worse, and has not done much the first 4 games. Yeah he had that big play against the Jets and the two tds against the Bills..but he just have not been involved as much on a play by play basis. Only looked at once this Sunday and that was on a trick play.

you're right. edelman hasnt done much this year, but he really hasnt had to...now welker will be doubled leaving room for him and the te's

i think brady's proven over the years that no matter who is on the field, he'll find them. if the D send extra blitzers brady will find the open man, if the #1 receiver is doubled, he'll check down...

brady became a better QB when moss and welker came to the pats. Fact!

[DMBstandUP1984]

Sure 2007 was a huge year..but ended with a SB loss. 2008 he was injured didn't play one full game. 2009 Put up good numbers lost in the wild card and was not a good 2nd half QB at all..and 2010 made it 4 games with Welker/Moss. Moss has been almost a non-factor and Welker is not being used as much..since he is clearly not 100%.

So to say Brady was a better QB with Welker and Moss is way off.

[DMBstandUP1984]

The real Tom Brady is not the 2007 Tom Brady.

The real Tom Brady is the 3,500 - 4000 yards and 25-30 TDs. That Tom Brady won 3 super bowls
