New England Patriots

[JTRain]

They just get shit done when it's needed.

21 wins in a row.

Ace. :thumbsup


Nice try though, Jets.

[Fooltothink55]

Fuck, we were so close. :( At least we held ya to 13 points.

[Rob]

The Jets are a good team, and young. They have a very bright future. Hell, it could be this year.

The Pats are just one play better than every team in the league. Their preparation is perfect- just enough to beat each team. It's amazing. One of these weeks, one play or call will go against us, and that'll be the end of the streak.

[brianlisk]

J-E-T-S suck suck suck!!

I wasn't impressed with Penny. I thought he'd put up more of a fight. Both defenses, however were great. There were a bunch of Jets fans at the restaurant we went to to watch the game, and they kept yelling stuff at us (my brothers and I). Pats fans normally outnumber the other teams but because this was on local TV, no one showed up and we were left to fend off Jets fans alone. In the end, tho they were the ones all quiet. My younger brother does the rodeo dance perfectly... Got the Jets fans good and pissy.

Bring on Rothelasjasdjasdburger and the Steelers. This will be a true test. I have a good feeling. Pats have beaten a great Seattle team, a great Jets team, and this will be THE game of the year so far.

LETS GO PATRIOTS!!

I'm not taking anything away from the Pats, but Seattle is far from a great team. They beat three bad teams and have tanked from there. The Steelers and Jets should be the two biggest obstacles to 16-0.

My Seahawks seem to suck i'm afraid. :(

[scoot_14]

People seem to think that Pittsburg will end the streak next week. I can't see a rookie having success against Belichek, no matter how impressive Ben has been.

[dmb6743]

Stillers are takin em down next week

[dmb6743]

and tom brady is a cunt

[firedwarftj]

I doubt the Steelers will win next week, the Patriots know how to make something out of nothing and win games, i'm taking Pats by 9 next weeekend

and why is Tom Brady a cunt, he wins football games and knows how to play

i never said he couldnt play football, i just said he's a cunt

[Fooltothink55]

And it was a pathetic thing to say.

[scoot_14]

And it was a pathetic thing to say.

Pathetic, ignorant, rude, and just plain stupid.

[JustinRIT]

I still say it was a fumble.

[greppson]

i never said he couldnt play football, i just said he's a cunt
nice. i can see maturity graced you well. i still don't see what tom brady winning the superbowl(twice now, right?), a 21 game winning streak has to do with making him part of female genatalia.

[DMBfan41]

I loved how people chanted Who's Your Daddy, and people had Yankee signs saying go Patriots.

Besides the fact that the Giants played in Yankee Stadium, I don't really see what the Yankees have to do with football.

[scoot_14]

Could it have been any more obvious that Simms is a NY fan? He was as bad as McCarver during the Pats game today.

[greppson]

they play FOOTBALL?

Well, 90% of all yankee fans are fair weather, so they can like the Patriots because they are nearby and they win.

[DMBfan41]

ok...

[scoot_14]

ok...

I agree with you. Especially in Jersey, yankee fans around NYC are pretty loyal.

But if you ever visit the state of CT you'll encounter the greatest display of fairweather fans on the planet. They'll cheer for whoever wins more games...they choose from the Pats, Jets, Giants, Yankees, Sox, Knicks, Celtics, Bruins, Islanders, Rangers...the only team they ever had loyalty was the Whalers and they didn't show it until after they left town.

That is so true. I live in CT so I see this all the time and it annoys the shit out of me. I've been a loyal Jet fan since I was a kid and now with this seasons success its amazing how many people I see walking around with Jets apparel. Where the hell have all these people been? Its about time they show up.

yeah, CT is pretty split in half. It's just cause they have no teams besides UConn basketball and the Connecticut Suns

[scoot_14]

Forgot about the Suns. I do think everyone down there likes UCONN though.

[DMBfan41]

its ok, you and everyone else in Connecticut. Does the WNBA exist anymore?

[brianlisk]

Forgot about the Suns. I do think everyone down there likes UCONN though.
EXACTLY what I was going to write. I haven't lived in CT in 7 years... I didn't know who the Suns were until I saw the score on ESPN.

UCONN is where it's at.

[StumpyErin]

wow - theres a lot of new england sports fans around here....

(red sox, patriots). Where's my celtics love?

[JTRain]

Where's my celtics love?


Destroyed by Danny Ainge.

And Pitino before him.

[stunnersal]

It all ends next week in Pittsburgh! :thumbsup

[Fooltothink55]

I can only hope.

[cbsauder]

yea im (OBVIOUSLY) a steelers fan, but i think next week well be a true test for both teams. I mean, if the steelers win, it means they are the real deal, and if the patriots win, it means they can beat just about anybody.

[Keith]

I haven't been a Patriot fan all my life, but when my good friend got drafted by them I became a fan,now he's out with a knee injury, another one of my friends got picked up by the pats but they let him go before the season.

Celtic love? I love Boston, and all the Boston Teams, always said that I would work for any team in Boston. Don't knock Pitino, he isn't suited for NBA coaching but he's a helluva college coach, I got the opportunity to work with him at U of L and became friends with him and his family. Plus I'm close in age with a couple of his sons. Pitino is everything that people say about him, but damnit he's a good coach.

[JTRain]

It was a great fucking run.

A plus for me today is that the Colts lost.

[DMBfan41]

New England can only have one winning team at a time.

[JTRain]

:evil

[cbsauder]

well im happy. pats fans- what happened?

[Rob]

The Pats were outplayed by a well prepared and well coached Pittsburgh team. All the credit in the world goes to the players and staff. They took their bye and used it to perfection.

New England has to regroup, pick up the pieces and return to their game. Mental mistakes (the very first touchback where the punt was knocked into the end zone, for example), turnovers, and injuries need to be addressed. The Pats are very soft in receiving and their secondary right now through injury. I don't know how they fan recover from that right now- it's not exactly open season on good CB's and WR's. Getting Corey Dillon back won't hurt, either.

[cbsauder]

yea, -1 rushing yards due to now corey dillon really hurt them. and the early injury to ty law didnt help anything on defense.

[Rob]

I'm amazed by Rothlesburger. That kid is going to make Manning look like the douchebag he is.

On a side note, the Steelers have to have some of the most interesting names in the history of the NFL. Deuce Staley rolls off the toungue, but who the FUCK names their son Plexico?

[GoMeJKI]

roethilsberger is a total pimp

[Buffalo JR/HA]

I'm glad they finally lost...I hate New England in every way.

[cbsauder]

y'know, going into this season, i had no idea that roethlisberger would develop so fast (who did?). I dont think i'd be going out on a limb to say rookie of the year and POSSIBLY even pro bowl.

hines ward and Kimo von oelhoffen are strange names among others.

[Number27]

The sandwich they made after him looks like it could give you a heartattack.

[Rob]

The state of PA seems to have a knack for producing heart-threatening sandwiches.

[Keith]

Rob, I have to agree with you, the steelers were better prepared on Sunday. It's all right though, I think the streak is more of a burden and am glad that it is over. Now they can concentrate on fundamentals and just get back to basics and now worry about keeping the streak alive.
I used to love the steelers, a guy that I tried emulate my play after played for them. I think he was one of the meanest and one of the best but underated LB's ever to play the game. Greg Lloyd was just a monster, and a mean son of a bitch too. Damn, I miss watching him play.

[YknSTONE]

My Grandpa can throw better then Brady was yesterday. wtf was he on?!

[Rob]

The only possible answer to that question is crack. Plain and simple.

[JTRain]

I'm glad they finally lost...I hate New England in every way.


:lol
Go Bills!

[cbsauder]

wtf was he on?!
steelers home turf ;)

[JanelleM]

How about that game yesterday :thumbsup That could have been my favorite first quarter of all time.

[yin_yang]

i think everyone saw it coming against Pittsburg, it was pretty obvious.

[cbsauder]

honestly, i didnt know canadians follow football. :thumbsup

[RJ2kWJ]

Yea that game was insane. Im no Pats fan but they are STILL gonna take the bowl no doubt.

I think Tom Bradys 2 super bowl rings got in his way yesterday. He will probably have to take em off next game. :)

[stunnersal]

honestly, i didnt know canadians follow football. :thumbsup
i don't know how they can watch it either the field is huge... :lol

Great game sunday, we went nuts! Can't wait for sunday it's gonna be war... :thumbsup

[yin_yang]

honestly, i didnt know canadians follow football. :thumbsup

i didnt know Americans knew that there was a country named Canada.

[cbsauder]

woah, that was in no way meant to be an insult. i really did think that only americans care about and follow the NFL. ( since i dont KNOW any canadians :rolleyes: )

[JTRain]

Jesus fuck...Troy Brown in as DB.

Fuck.

[JTRain]

Haha...thanks for the fumble.

[Number27]

Vinatieri to Troy Brown for the touchdown. :thumbsup

[greppson]

an a basically walk in touchdown. wow. :) :multi

[JTRain]

9-1


Who didn't see that, really?

[greppson]

:thumbsup

[Number27]

Vinatieri to Troy Brown for the touchdown. :thumbsup
I still think this is the coolest thing ever.

[JTRain]

Thanks Brady. Jesus fuck.

[Rob]

That was fucking disgusting. What a huge choke. They should have brought in Vinateri to play QB. That guy has balls of steel. Brady's balls are obviously MIA.

[The Sean]

hahaha. Brady. hahahahahahaha

*snickers*

this is about the only time i can remember rooting for the dolphins

[UJCdream]

worst. game. ever.

[Crumbo]

it just goes to show you that on any given Sunday (or in this case, Monday) there is at least 1 game in the NFL that is fixed :eek:

Vegas and the Mob made out huge tonight

[slk11086]

what the fuck just happened tom brady....

[warriors1226]

that was just awful. i want to cry.

[slk11086]

o well... i guess we can't win EVERY year.... every other will have to suffice

[DMBfan41]

ohh, no! They won't make the playoffs now! It's just a loss.

[JustinRIT]

So let me get this straight. You win the world series, and have the number 2 seed in the afc, and you still complain? Unfuckingbelievable.

[UNC41]

At least there was one good day to be a Dolphins fan in 2004. I almost didn't watch because I expected a beating, but little did I know that Tom Brady would be doing his best A.J. Feeley impersonation. Now I probably won't have a good day as a Miami fan until the draft, but man did I love tonight.

[cbsauder]

Man what a load off the steelers shoulders. I didnt see the game- how do the DOLPHINS score eat up an 11 pt lead in the 4th quarter????

[YknSTONE]

I havent seen a quarterback through so many intercreptions in my life.

This game was rigged, not really. But you usually dont see a "good quarterback" do the unthinkable. oh well, good game especially the last 1:50 seconds.

[Rob]

WOW the Jets suck.

That is all.

[DMBfan41]

are you surprised?

[Rob]

To be honest, I expected Pennington to be able to tear apart the already destroyed Pats secondary. I guess the media was right- Pennington truly is a fraud.

[Rob]

This is a rather solid spanking...

[thechosen1]

So let me get this straight. You win the world series, and have the number 2 seed in the afc, and you still complain? Unfuckingbelievable.

i would like them to spend a day walking in the shows of a cleveland sports fans shoes. it sucks being the #1 most tortured city in sports

[DMBfan41]

its because once they taste winning, they don't want it to end. They never know when another drought will start.

[Rob]

They cut Troy Brown today!!!

[DMBfan22J]

So Richard Seymour is holding out, hopefully it gets resolved soon

[dmbgodagirl41]

WOW the Jets suck.

That is all.

:lol best comment in the thread.

go. tommy. go.

[JonTheRvelator]

Go Colts.

[Nomah5]

Anybody traveling down to giants stadium for this monday nites pats jets game?? tickets are still avail abd very cheap.. i got 2 tix for $24 each :thumbsup :thumbsup

[cfh72]

patriots==overrated

[UglyNakedGuy]

Let's get this thread back to the top..

I'm stoked about the Pats this year. I'm still worried about what's gonna happen with Deion though, but we'll see.

[Franchize41]

Just curious, is Nick Kazcur gonna start this year? I know he got the chance last year when your line got banged up, im wondering if he'll get the chance this year to start full time. Kazcur went to the same high school as me and ive been following his career since he went to Toledo.

[The-Last-Stop]

Im going to the game tonite!

[DMB0715]

Let's get this thread back to the top..

I'm stoked about the Pats this year. I'm still worried about what's gonna happen with Deion though, but we'll see.

Itll be fine if he goes, its the Pats for christ sakes, theyll work it out.

[Rob]

What the fuck is with wide receivers and their outrageously self-centered and arrogant attitudes? For the most part (Branch's case included), they're made by their QBs and offensive coordinators. There are very few receivers in the history of the game who have been able to change the game (don't get me wrong, they exist), and Branch ain't one of them.

I can't get excited or disappointed about departures and aquisitions for the Pats the way I do about, say, the Red Sox. The Patriots have an absolutely insane ability to judge talent and personality, and people I've never heard of come on board and contribute well. I'm not sweating the loss of Branch (although I'm debating whether or not to sweat the loss of #4...).

[GWDMB]

Itll be fine if he goes, its the Pats for christ sakes, theyll work it out.

I wouldn't be so sure, while the system the Pats run is a great one, Willie McGinnest was right the other day when he said that it was the players playing in the system that caused the success just as much as it was the system. Just as Duane Starks could not replace Ty Law, Reche Caldwell cannot replace Deion Branch.

If you look at the Patriots roster right now, with the exception of Troy Brown, every other receiver on the Pats roster has LESS CAREER RECEPTIONS than Deion Branch had last year alone. Reche Caldwell has 76 career receptions in five years, while Branch had 78 last year. Additionally, every other receiver on the roster is in his first two years in the NFL and all of them combined have less than 76 career receptions. The Patriots need Deion Branch. He is vastly underpaid. He knows it, and they know it. If you look at the past, the players that Belichick has released or failed to resign and deemed "expendable" have all been on the defensive side of the ball where, as most people have pointed out, the system is the key for the most part (though I would even argue about that because the Pats defense last year was nowhere near what it was when players like Law, Milloy, McGinnest, Bruschi, Seymour and Harrison were all healthy), but on the offensive side of the ball, the system isn't as much the key as the individual parts are. You can't just replace Cory Dillon (though Maroney looks very good), and you can't just replace Tom Brady, and I guarantee that the Patriots, if they don't re-sign Branch to an extension, will find that they can't just replace Deion Branch with three rookies and Reche Caldwell. This is a deal that needs to get done, he knows it (why do you think he's holding out now? This is when his bargaining power is at its highest, if one of those rookies has a breakout year, his power after his contract is up diminishes greatly) and the team knows it, and I think that for the first time in a while, the Patriots are going to break their usual form and sign him to a big money extension.

As an additional note, I hope they're right about the new kicker from Memphis (I know I can't spell his last name correctly so I'm not even going to try) Adam Vinatieri got a lot of press about his clutch performances, so there's no way I can stand here and claim that he was underappreciated, but I would not at all be surprised to see the rookie struggle in November and December in Foxboro and I think the Pats may find that Vinatieri is worth the money the Colts paid him. I'm not saying that it wasn't a bad move to let him go because he is getting older, and the salary cap in the NFL is very hard to manage, especially when you're paying a kicker as much as the Colts paid Vinatieri, but I think that people may find that kicking in Foxboro in the winter is much harder than Adam made it look and Gostkowski or whatever his name is may have some struggles as he gets used to it, I just hope that he'll be a quick learner.

[UglyNakedGuy]

Let's get this thread back up and going people. We are lookin good so far. Maroney is the best back out of the draft IMO, maybe other than Bush (but I like Maroney's style better than Bush, but that's my preference. I like balanced backs more than smaller finesse runners like Bush.

I'm glad the Branch crap is over, and I'm glad Seattle overpaid for him by coughing up a first round pick. They are fools to be paying him 39 mil over 5-6 years IMO.

I'm excited about the team this year, they are really looking good.

[Rob]

Two things scare me so far: defensive inconsistancy (conditioning?) and Brady. On the marching drives Sunday, Brady looked absolutely incredible. Otherwise, he sucked. His passes were way off, his timing was off, and he looked flustered- almost Manning-in-a-big-game-like (except he didn't throw his hands up in the air and cry like a little bitch).

The running game has me giddy. Once they've worked out the play-action, it's going to be scary. Right now, they aren't fooling anybody (Conversely, Pennington had me fooled even from the TV camera a couple of times).

The Corpse of Junior Seau has turned out to be more than a corpse, and that's allowed Vrabel to move outside. That makes two linebacker positions better. When they go with their 5 LB, 2 DE set, good things seem to happen.

Granted, we've only played 2 shitty teams so far and only played half of each game, so it's hard to base anything on anything yet. The Broncos should be a better test, but they suck complete ass right now, too, and Jake Plummer should be good for 2-3 INT.

[xBigNastyx]

They are lookin damn good right now...I'm honeslty not worried about the Colts...I'm more nervous about week 12 when we play the Bears.

[dmbgodagirl41]

They are lookin damn good right now...I'm honeslty not worried about the Colts...I'm more nervous about week 12 when we play the Bears.
The Colts game is going to be good, but I think Colts fans are going to be crying at the end of it. If the team plays against Indy the way they did against Minnesota, the Pats will have no problem making the Colts undefeated season come to an end.

I am not too worried about the Bears, either. I mean, yeah, they have been good, but who have they played and soundly beat? The Bears have such a shitty offense, I don't see their undefeated season lasting for much longer. Their only tough games are the Pats and the Giants.

[GinaNMU]

They are lookin damn good right now...I'm honeslty not worried about the Colts...I'm more nervous about week 12 when we play the Bears.

:thumbsup I'm a Bears fan and that's the game I'M worried about losing, hahaha. My boyfriend's a HUGE Pats fan, I'm a Bears fan, and we're going to that game together (it's the day before my birthday!)

[dmbgodagirl41]

I wish I was dating a guy who is as hardcore fan of another team as I am about the Pats. I'd give him so much shit, it'd be awesome.

Who does your man support?

[dmbgodagirl41]

Who does your man support?

The Patriots :lol well, he's my ex for right now, but ...... mah, complicated.
He's from New England, just like me; we grew up together. He's more of a baseball fan, though. He doesn't really like watching football with me because, well, I'm "that girl" who yells at the TV and calls people to scream into the phone at them.

...yeeeeeeeeeah. i'm sure that's hard to believe.

That's the only way to watch football. I don't like to think logically about it until the game is over.

Sorry, I didn't know about your relationship status.

[GinaNMU]

Hahaha, yeah it's so much fun. We give each other shit all the time b/c we're both huge sports fans, and have completely different teams for everything b/c I grew up in Chicago, him on the East Coast. Trust me, I'm pretty sure our first fight may come during this game depending on the outcome...:lol We're both pretty damn competitive, too.

[dmbgodagirl41]

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of watching a game with a bunch of quiet people. what fun is that? But I am also that idiot who has the patriots pants, tom brady jersey, patriots beer coozie, etc that shouts orders at the TV. Its just bad.

Oh, and relationship status = it's all good, no worries. Whats meant to be will be, and if it's not, well, it won't :)

I was the same way last year. I had my lucky camo shorts, my lucky terrible towel, my lucky Ben jersey, my lucky hat, etc. All of that stuff has lost it's luck though. Their replacements haven't done much better.

I don't even know what the hell that means. Maybe she was going to whip you like guys do in the locker room.
Or she was going to sit on me? She is apparently this notorious bully in some random bar in DC, and I went there with a friend after the Pats game two weeks ago, and I was talking to someone, and she told me that if I "didnt shut my skinny new england self up, she'd terrible towel my ass".

I was slightly scared. She was probably 5 inches shorter than me but she had a good 200 lbs on me, and no front teeth. :lorraine

Yinzers?? :lol wtf?

[dmbmuskie]

Yinzer (n)

Female, native of Pittsburgh, wearing too much hairspray/gel and makeup, with a very limited vocabulary and usually driving a Camaro, Firebird or Trans-Am, loves 80s music; very often like a moped---fun to ride, but you wouldn't want your friends to see. Known for their love of all things Steelers and Donnie Iris and extreme hatred of Cleveland. Consists mainly on Primanti Brothers and ethnic cuisine. Yinzers can be easily identified by their one-of-a-kind, ridiculous accent.


Last night I went to the South Side and ended up bangin' this yinzer in the back of her Trans-Am.

There is also male yinzers.

Female, native of Pittsburgh, wearing too much hairspray/gel and makeup, with a very limited vocabulary and usually driving a Camaro, Firebird or Trans-Am, loves 80s music; very often like a moped---fun to ride, but you wouldn't want your friends to see. Known for their love of all things Steelers and Donnie Iris and extreme hatred of Cleveland. Consists mainly on Primanti Brothers and ethnic cuisine. Yinzers can be easily identified by their one-of-a-kind, ridiculous accent.


Last night I went to the South Side and ended up bangin' this yinzer in the back of her Trans-Am.

There is also male yinzers.
:eek oh my god, that was the woman.
I swear to god she left in some kind of 1983 el camino, and if you got within 8 feet of her with a match, her head would have exploded into flame.

:lol awesome.

I know every town has their own people to make fun of, but the Yinzer has to be up there with the Staten Island girl as the worst.

Ooooooh Statten Island girls are really bad. Yeah, that'd be close. I mean, I try not to judge people based on some horrible stereotype (wait, what am I saying, yes I do), but yeah......I've encountered both, and they could be neck-and-neck.

Is there a stereotype with NE/MA/Boston chicks???

Bill Simmons always mentions it, but I'm drawing a blank right now.

[DordtDbags]

I know this is probable a stupid question but I was wondering what are those things that are at mid field at the Meadowlands. I have always wondered what those things with sparks coming out of them were. This is for a west coast guy that has no clue about the east, educate me.

[malarks26]

Big win for the Pats today, good job defending their home field.

And that new field turf looked much better than the old torn up grass surface.

Oh she knows. :lol


Great game for the Pats today. Maybe the split was the best for Brady? After two games not getting into the endzone, he counters it with two TDs today. 40-7 win over the Texans. Granted it's the Texans, but it's a win. 10-4 baby!

[GinaNMU]

My boyfriend and I just got back from the game, and it was SUCH a good time. Can't beat a 58 degree Pats blowout on the 30yd. line!

[TempHelpNeeded]

Damn!


30 yard line? I've been to one Pats game and they were actually decent seat. Right smack dab in between the field goal posts on the lighthouse side of gillette. It was the Eagles/Pats super bowl year. And it was the Sunday night game against the Bills, right before Bledsoe left them and when Troy Brown made a pick as a Defensive Back. :lol

Sure does. Almost same way I got into the game. My friend's Dad's company had seats. Only game I've been to. Lucky to get the tickets and happy I took it in.

[dmbgodagirl41]

I'm pretty sure the rest of the NFL is shitting their pants at the thought of who the Patriots got in the past couple days...not to mention the people who are talking with NE....

I know I would be.

A. Thomas is a bit disconcerting, but at least NE is probably not gonna be getting Moss now (with what they gave up for Walker)

Oh in case you didn't know, our boy Peyton Manning is gonna be hosting SNL on March 24th - dont want you to miss it.

[Trippin4136]

Oh god, I'm terrified over Donte Stallworth! How will the rest of the football world survive! lol...

Adalius Thomas was a good signing, though you never know with LBs once they hit 30.

Wes Welker? We're suppose to be impressed with Wes Welker? Oooook, if you say so.

[dmbmuskie]

I think the Pats are over reacting to last season. The truth of the matter is they've added a linebacker nearing 30, an undersized reciever at a steep price, and an old TE. The Samuel situation isn't over yet either.

[PipeandaCrepe]

hopefully Moss will go to the Packers instead. But A. Thomas may be a little overrated coming out of a system in Baltimore that could make anyone look good. Welker is a solid #2 guy, which doesn't help with the Pats receiving corps, but Brady will make him look good, just like he does w/ all the other #2 guys he gets.

New England is going to shred this year. Plus, they still have two first round picks. Jesus, I love football.

Big whoop, Tommy did it two years ago. Not to mention, Peyton has no personality beyond "CUT THAT MEAT" so I'm sure it won't be 1/2 as funny as when Tommy did it anyways ;)

1. Stallworth isn't much to cream my panties over. I'm mainly happy at the thought of him because him leaving Philly would = upset Eagles fans, and that's almost as good as a happy NE fan in my opinion :lol

2. Thomas is going to be great. Him and Tedy will be a good team.

3. Welker is better than no WR. People seem to forget that the Pats didnt have a WR last year.....so a decent one is better than not having one.

Age doesn't matter in New England. Why don't people get this? Had Junior Seau not had some fatass bears player put his foot through Junior's forearm, the guy would have had a phenomenal season. And he's like 7604!

[UNC41]

I'm was a huge Wes Welker guy in Miami, but thanks for the second round pick. :lol :lol :lol

Watch the linebackers play, and then tell me age doesn't matter. They're all very smart which allows them to play, but they don't have the athleticism any more to make an impact.

Yes. Beating San Diego in SD and making it to the AFC championship is a good measure of mediocrity.

Thank you for enlightening me :)

Eh, we don't care, we have two first round picks anyways. We get a good LB and another decent WR and we're set.

Not really, they're all jealous of the Colts. The Pats are just a team with a low draft pick.

[dmbgodagirl41]

Jealous of the Colts? Yeah, shit, I have no clue how they are going to survive the draft or be contenders for next year...they should just hand it to Indy now...

But wait.....The Pats added an impact LB (which they really needed), an impact WR, and replaced a back-up TE and soon to be back-up RB with cheaper alternatives....AND they have two draft picks in the 1st round still

God, I cannot wait until September. Seriously.

[Trippin4136]

Give me a logical explanation of why Wes Welker is better than anything the Pats put out there last year? I'm waiting to hear this.

[1eyed_jack]

God, I cannot wait until September. Seriously.

They need to nail those draft picks if they want any chance next year. Wes Welker didn't answer their WR needs. Thomas is the classic NFL example of paying for what someone has done rather than what he will do.

People always get fired up over white NFL players.

[Trippin4136]

The fact that you just called Wes Welker an "impact WR" is laughable. The guy was Joe Nobody until this year and this offseason WR market dominated by a bunch of white boys.

[dmbgodagirl41]

Reche Caldwell? Oh, okay, yeah, Mr. "I might not catch it during the season and I definitely won't catch it when it counts in the post season" Caldwell? Yeah, God forbid he doesn't see as much play this year.

Caffrey is an up and coming; as long as he doesn't get thrown to the ground before the ball gets to him and it's not called pass interference (FUCKING INDY)

I'm just stoked we have a good blocker and WR coming our way. Better than nothing!

[dmbmuskie]

Don't you think it's a little ridiculous you're getting so excited over the second coming of Phil McConkey?

And possibly Donte Stallworth? Who may or may not, be in the NFL's substance abuse program.

[1eyed_jack]

i could have mentioned brady's QB rating has gone down the last two seasons.

[dmbgodagirl41]

I cannot make any sense out of this.

he asked me to name people who were on the pats that played last year that weren't very good. Caffrey was decent.....he's good if he actually gets calls that he should.

The Pats have decent Safetys and TEs but they havent had a GOOD WR that Tommy can really throw the bomb to and be good at catching it. If we got Stallworth or Moss, it'd just be disgusting.

The Patriots made out the best with the free agency this year, and anyone who disagrees is a moron.

[whyibesowhite]

i seriously am taking a "haters" look w/ the Pats.. no real reason, other than to hate their success..

man.. 1st they get sB wins, then get Corey Dillon, then get like 8 picks in the 1st two rounds, now this year??? they get A. Thomas at LB.. wow.

good stuff for you PATS fans!

but how did they swing him?

so is Seau and Bruschi coming back?

[dmbgodagirl41]

I disagree and I'm not moron. The best? Give me a break. The Jets just straight up fleeced the Bears for a two-time 1200 yard back. Get real.

Have fun going bonkers over a 5'9" white guy who had all of ONE TD catch last year. You better pray they get Randy Moss at this rate.

Do you mean Gaffney? That's what lost me.

The Browns made out the best in my book. They got the best guard, and the best LB in my book.

Seau---I don't think so, and bruschi probably is for one more season. At least he hasn't said he's done; else I'd get the horribly hysterical phone call from my mom :lol

I'm really glad Dillon is gone, though. Maroney would have trounced him anyways.

[Trippin4136]

Don't you think its a little ridiculous that no one understands that ANY WR is better than NO WR?

Yea...lol...Joey Harrington's favorite target. Wow, that's something there. Oh wait, it's not. It's nothing and the Pats spent 2 draft picks on him. They were better off using one of their first round picks on the slew of WRs that will fall between the 20th and 50th picks of the draft.

[dmbmuskie]

Don't you think its a little ridiculous that no one understands that ANY WR is better than NO WR?

No WR may have been better than they money and picks used to get Welker.

[dmbgodagirl41]

The Browns made out the best in my book. They got the best guard, and the best LB in my book.

Ah yes, yes, my bad Gaffney. Sorry! :)

The browns? yeah, cuz those free agents will help get them to the big dance. Oh, hang on.....nah.

[UNC41]

Katie, I absolutely love Wes Welker. He was one of my favorite Dolphins over the past couple years. He leaves it all on the field every single game and plays football the way it should be. But to be honest, he's a poor man's Brandon Stokley or Kevin Curtis. As much as I love the guy, I'm amazed at what Miami was able to get for him. He'll be a nice piece for the Pats, but won't solve their problems at WR.

[Trippin4136]

Ah yes, yes, my bad Gaffney. Sorry! :)

The browns? yeah, cuz those free agents will help get them to the big dance. Oh, hang on.....nah.

The Patriots are about to take a step back anyways from any of this "success". They are about to lock up Asante "Get Paid" Samuel for an UNGODLY amount of money thanks to Nate Clements.

And all this only seems like so much success to Pats fans, b/c any activity is better than the non-activity fans have watched NE do the last past few offseasons.

Harrington sucks, so that shouldn't reflect on how good his/a WR is. I think that he's going to be a great asset to the Patriots. I was shocked mainly because you hardly hear about inter-division trades like this.

I'm just wondering if they will combine the two first round picks to get someone amazing or take the picks. I cant wait for the end of April!

[Trippin4136]

Yes, but he put up those numbers b/c he was virtually the only guy Harrington threw to. You see what I'm getting at?

Nonetheless, the Pats could have found more talent within their first 3 draft picks at WR than Wes Welker.

Logically, before these moves, they would have taken a DB or WR and a LB. Now they have those holes "filled".

[dmbgodagirl41]

Oh, I dont think it will solve the WR problems, but I think he will be good; you know, build up a little confidence with the team and maybe help Tommy see that he might have a guy that he can rely on for a few plays. Im excited, still :)

[Trippin4136]

At 5'9" he's certainly not a deep threat.

[1eyed_jack]

How is it scary? :lol

Jon, I know what you're saying....and I'm not saying that Wes is some AMAZING WR, I just think that he's going to be pretty good as a Patriot. It's going to be really interesting to see how he develops; I think Miami as a team isn't very good at producing great players now-a-days, whereas New England (Read: Bellichick) finds a way to hone in on a person's talent and really helps them come to their full potential.

You're missing the bussiness side of the deal. It's not a bad football decision if you look at it in a vaccum.

[boutrous11]

i'm thinking of keeping Welker in my keeper/auction fantasy league. 200 dollar cap, he'll be 10 dollars if I keep him. (I have Reggie Wayne at 37 that I'm keeping for sure.) it's a ppr league, so if he improves from his 67 catches to, let's say 80, and scores 5 tds, he could be worth it.

any thoughts?

[Noles20]

everyone loves that the pats are in the news for something negative. I am a huge fan and really don't think its a big deal. and apparently neither does the nfl cause the penalty they handed out is peanuts.

what is $500,000 to a head coach?

what is $250,000 to a whole team?

and the draft pick is not even that important its gonna be like one of the last picks in the 1st round most likely and they have another pick in the round anyways.

People are hating on the Pats because it casts doubt over the NFL from 2001 to now. Don't you think the Rams and Steelers wonder why the Pats beat them after getting hammered in the regular season. If this was the Raiders or Browns it would be a non story. It still takes exceptional talent to do what they have done, but they have never been the best team in the league in terms of talent. They've alwasys been "well-coached" or "smart", which now may mean they were cheaters.

They've alwasys been "well-coached" or "smart", which now may mean they were cheaters.



i think they would have been caught before if that was the case. i really dont think this has been going on that long.

[dmbmuskie]

i know it..the only reason Harrison took hormones was to recover from an injury..he didn't even take them during the season. I don't really consider that performance enhancing.

How do you know that? That's pure bull shit speculation.

If Barry Bonds got caught tommorrow would you think it was the first time he was cheating?

umm no since there is proof he has been taking steroids for years....and he didnt admit it until he was caught. harrison came out and said he took hormones.

Then perhaps Palmerio is a better example.

While it's a different sport, there are some similarities. While most of their contemporaries have hung it up, they are still out there going strong. Harrison was considered done when SD dumped him, and then he turned back into a play maker after his prime years were behind him.

i actually will defend bonds steroids will not help you hit a baseball, they may help you hit it 5-10 feet further....but they are not going to help your hand-eye coordination...while obviously steroids are wrong they did not help bonds get that record....unless they kept him from getting hurt. (which is possible)

rodney harrison has always been good ,people have bad years. the chargers sucked then now he is on a team with great coaching and they are know for there great defense....would you think junior seau will still be making an impact today?

Seau doesn't still make an impact.

Steroids actually do help you hit a ball. Testosterone effects focus, so increased testosterone makes it easier to hit.

no they don't. its all about the swing. they don't make you have a better swing.

[dmbmuskie]

no they don't. its all about the swing. they don't make you have a better swing.

Steroids aren't going to turn me into a professional athlete. However, if you have professional tools, they will definitely help you. They're going to help every player in a different way, and there are countless drugs out there which all do different things.

If a player cannot hit a curveball, drugs that boost focus can help.

If an aging safety wants to stick around there are drugs out there that will help you keep speed and strength.

Its not bullshit speculation, to be fair. Athletes do that shit all the time.

HGH is all over the NFL without a doubt, but I think it's blatant homerism to assume Harrison only took HGH this one time.

[dmbgodagirl41]

Oh, no, I'm just saying that it isn't TOTAL bullshit that he took it in this instance to speed the healing process.

I used to get stuffed with Predinzone when I had bronchitis to swim. Had I been tested while taking that shit, I would have been disqualified, but it was to make sure I didn't drown, not to make me stronger/faster.

That's a nice excuse for why he took it, but I think the truth is he took it to stay in the league. This really reminds me of how Romanowski was late in career, but maybe that's just me.

I could see it being a combo of both. There's no doubt that many guys in the NFL take HGH, and it'd be ignorant of me to say no Patriots players do. I mean, Bruschi had a stroke at what, age 29? Uhhhhh yeah, that's......normal? Not so much.

[thebestauntie]

Patriots love, anyone? :D

[dmbhoosier21]

Patriots love, anyone? :D

No. :cool

[dmbgodagirl41]

:lol well, at least some team came within 3 TDs of 'em....
I guess it was kinda exciting there for a while when it was only 10 points between the two.

[thebestauntie]

No. :cool
Then stay out of my thread! :p :D

[dmbgodagirl41]

Booyah, LA, you know it.

I did like it when Cleveland decided not to totally suck there for a bit, but luckily Anderson remembered that he needed to have at least 4 INTs, soooooo

[loogs91]

haha i like how someone on this page said seau doesn't have an impact....today he did!
next week should be good. bring on the cowboys and the ALCS

[dmbhoosier21]

I was actually surprised it was that close.

The Browns "gave it away" ;)

edit I guess Matt missed a few threads when moving them over the sub-forum

[thebestauntie]

WAHOOO!!!!! I just finished watching the game.:multi :multi :multi

Oh, and can one of the mods move this to the Tailgate forum please?:D

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

What ever happened with that whole spying thing ?

Did the Pats get in trouble? Fined? What happened ? Anyone?

Bill Belichick was fined $500,000 and the Patriots were fined $200,000 and lost a first round draft pick for '08.

[thebestauntie]

Can this thread please be moved to the Tailgate forum? Pretty Please? :D :) :hug

Incorrect.

[SoRight24]

I'd rather this thread be kept in here, to die.

[thebestauntie]

Incorrect.
Okay. Do you know what the correct fines/punishment were? I can't remember without looking it up.

You were close. Its only a first round pick if they win the superbowl

[thebestauntie]

Oh right, and it's a 2nd round if they don't, correct?

[thebestauntie]

Thank you!!! :D

[SoRight24]

Booooo. :thumbsdow

LA: loveyoumeanit :hug ;)

[BellybuttonKid]

I think it's so funny all the jealous people there are on this board whose sole purpose daily is to look for things to bitch about that the Pats do. They actually dedicated a thread to it which proves how often these Pats "haters" consume their day with complaining about it.

I laugh at all those people.



7-0 and rolling without cheating. I dare anyone to stop us.

[LaDude]

It's they lose their (Patriots) first round pick if the make the playoffs. We will still have a first round pick thanks to the 49ers trade last draft day. This will be an earlier pick than the on they will (eventually) lose.

[fuvonks]

Lets go Pats!!!!!

[LaDude]

The Pats are 6 point favorites on the road for the Colts! What will it be when they play the Jets at home.....-20?

They were -16 vs the Skins

[thebestauntie]

That to me is crazy! I can't believe the Pats are favored over the Colts on the road. Especially by that much. I think if the Pats even win this game, it'll be by the hair of their chinny chin chin.

Well, their points made per game are about 10 points difference, and their points allowed per game are spot on.

Should be a great game....

They also play different styles of football once the game is in hand. I'm not trying to turn this into a "running the score up" argument, but that does make a difference in how many points each team is scoring per game.

[thebestauntie]

Well I dont' think the Pats have played a team with the kind of offense that the Colts have yet. I think it'll be a close tough game. Peyton has so many weapons at his disposal and is far better at utilizing them than say, Tony Romo.
