Until someone unseats the Patriots as the dominate team in the division, you have to build a ream to beat them.

"The play's the thing"

You are too late. I awarded New England the Lombardy Trophy hours ago in the Addai thread.

Amen

This just in, due to the awesome awesomeness of The New England Patriots the National Football League has been disbanded!

This is a brilliant move by the Patriots! It just adds to the great off season they have had. Defensive coordinators have been game planning expecting Addai to be in the back field. Now they ate completely confused. The Patriots will run the table and win the Super Bowl. In fact the season should just be cancelled and they should be awarded the Lombardi Trophy right now! I give them an A-plus!

Pats cut Addai, just heard it on NFL Network.

Prisco is also picking the Pats to go 16-0.

Archimedes was a heel because he was from Syracuse and he switched from being a Biils fan to a Jet fan when the Jets moved their training camp to Cortland. I was a dead language major and I can't tell you how clearly I think when I've been drinking and start thinking in Carthaginian.

I believe that because children were raped in the showers of Penn State's sports complex by a football coach makes it their business.

Ok, I'm convinced. I was just stirring the pot.

When was Brad Smith?

But couldn't Young fill that role, with the added threat of being able to pass?

Tonawanda High School played with leather helmets, with face masks well into the 1960s.

We had this discussion in another thread. It pertained to an article that gave off season grades. A poster with more knowledge of Tavon Wilson described him as a situational player, a hybrid FS/CB. II fail to see how this guy and Will Allen are going to fix the second worst pass D in the NFL.

Consider this, they went to the Super Bowl with a D that was 31st against the pass, no running game and one WR. Who do people think got them there?

Yes it is all Brady. I don't think this is the same Pats team that won with Matt Cassel. If you take Brady off this team they very well could become last years Colts.

I am not knocking the Pats, I am knocking the grade given to their off season in this article. If the Bills had the same holes to fill as the Pats and the Bills made the same off season moves, the article would read as follows: "Bills have another head scratching off season. To fix their lack of talent at WR they brought in an aging group well past their prime. To fix the RB position they signed a back that has not rushed for 1000 yards since 2007! They lost a 10 sack DE and replaced him with a rookie, rookies rarely get 10 sacks. They did little to shore up the worst secondary in the NFL, Will Allen really? And a situational hybrid CB/FS doesn't seem like remotely enough. Grade D- Minus."

Ok, so they lose a 10 sack DE to us and draft a DE. They pick up a LB who may turn out to be good. They had arguably the worst secondary in the league and they add a situational hybrid CB/FS and this is what makes it a great off season?

So who are the three starters?

I think the Bills grade is correct, but will someone please explain how New England gets a B-plus? The players mentioned are, Joseph Addai, Brandon Lloyd, Jabar Gaffney, Donte' Stallworth, Will Allen and Andre Carter. The only guy under 30 is Addai. Go to Pats roster click on each of these guys and look at their past production and ages. How was this a great off season for them? http://www.patriots.com/team/roster.html

Prolly is the mispronunciation or in this case the miswriting of the word probably. I have tried to ignor it, so as not to be accused of being the grammar/spelling police. We could spend all day every day correcting the grammar, punctuation, tense, etc. on this site. However what this site is about is the expression of opinions, which is both fun and intellectually healthy.

Welker did toast us, over 200 yards. I don't understand how the preseption is that New England reloaded or had a great off season. They still don't have a running back, they brought in some veteran WR on the downside of their careers and how did their secondary get better?

Thank you.

I keep wondering the same thing. Does anyone know the answer?
