Storm Front

Wow, this is fantastic news! Now we can support the team without worrying so much about the sword of Damocles (LA) hanging over our heads.

None of these guys would play well anywhere else. Whenever players and coaches from the Pats go to another team they do not have the same success as they did in the Pat's "system." Mark my words, we'll be lucky if we get 4 or 5 sacks out of Mark Anderson.

The sad thing is that the fans in LA have never been all that interested in pro football. They're no t much better than the fans inJacksonville

I would say the chances are good that the Bills will get to draft third. On Draft Day, Buddy Nix is about to pick a stud CB with the third pick, hesitates for a moment, remembers his promise to Bills fans, and decides to trade away the Bills #1 picks in the next three drafts to move up to the #1 pick. We then take a projected 7th round QB whom practically no one has ever heard of with the first pick of the draft. That would be rock bottom.

and

The NFL is such a powerful machine. It is awful the way the NFL hangs a move to LA over the heads of teams and fans in small markets. In most industries this would be called extortion.

TJ is just a rookie. CJ was pretty bad his first season, too.

This isn't rock bottom yet. Perhaps if we had about 3 less wins.. Next year perhaps!

Right now, TJ looks like a fourth rate Roscoe Parrish, and Donald Jones is a third rate Roscoe Parrish.

Why would you want CJ to get so many touches now? The season is over. Give Tard Choice the ball, not CJ.

Until the Pats system is exposed again or Belichick retires, the rest of the teams in the AFC East are fighting for a chance at the wild card every year. It is sad.

The Bills would not have the same success unless they were able to hire Ernie Adams away from the Patriots: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernie_Adams_(American_football) It is doubtful that Robert Krafty would ever let this happen.

Josh McDaniels was a defensive player/coach who became Brady's QB coach in NE even though he had no QB or offensive experience. He was later promoted to Offensive Coordinator under the Pats. Labeled a young offensive mastermind, McDaniels was hired as head coach of the Broncos where he went out of his way to obtain Matt Cassel, a player who was entrenched in the Pats' "system." As head coach of the Broncos, McDaniels also hired one of the fellows from Spygate who taped Pats' opponents. Later, the two were involved in their own mini-Spygate scandal, which was quietly swept under the rug by the NFL and the media. McDaniels once admitted that the Pats actually practiced cheating. It is not inconceivable that the Pats would have the whole thing down to a science.

Go read it then come back and we'll talk NFL football, not 911 conspiracies.

Have you read this book?

Not if I can find the ignore button.

Has anyone noticed that our run D has improved drastically since Moore and Merriman have taken over for Anderson and Kelsay? I say give Chan and Wannastache one more year. The only way we will be worse next season is if we change coaches again.

Really? You do realize that was precisely what happened. Why is it dumb to think that it doesn't still happen?

You are right, they are "unbelievable." See Spygate. There is a reason the big games are played by the most popular teams: the NFL is = to the WWE. The same teams have been winning for the last 10 years or so. There is always going to be a team from NY, CA, TX in the playoffs. The most popular teams are the winning teams....Steelers, Cowboys, Packers, Giants and Pats.

No reason to play Spiller now. We didn't play him all year when it actually mattered, why risk an injury? Let him rest up for next year and then USE HIM!

Chan is such a brilliant coach. The season is over so he's going to run the crap out of Spiller for the next three meaningless games when he should have used him more when it mattered. Why even play CJ now? Instead, the sensible thing to do would be to wear Tard Choice out and let him be the player that risks getting injured behind this depleted and weak offensive line.

I sure didn't see any difference between the two when Cassell filled in for Brady in '08! And Cassell was a rookie that year who never started a game in college. It's easy to be a good QB when you have someone telling you in your ear which receiver is open as well as the other team's defensive schemes.

Not many coaches denigrate their players as much as Gailey.

Brady doesn't matter. You can put Matt Cassell back in there and the Pats will win just as easily.

If you want to make some easy $$$, bet big for the Pats to win any game at home. They definitely have an edge. The Texans were 11-1 and that D just does not get blown out that easily (unless the game is not much different from pro wrestling).
