    [Jim Harbaugh] The Jets actually interviewed him before hiring Rex in 2009. There were also reports they were interested two years ago. 

    With Michigan 1-2 and going nowhere do you think he jumps ship? Harbaugh and Lawrence? A fan can dream. 

    Jumps ship?  He lost to Michigan St at home again and to Indiana for the first time in 32 years. Ohio St. is going to clean their clocks.  The way it's going he could get fired.

    Yea that looks like guys had good times after they left. You aren't looking for more than a couple of years from older guys that Patriots released.

     

    Welker had his best year the year he left NE for Denver he caught 10TDs in 13 games.

    Again, this was the point I was making in my original post.

    It's not really fair to say they "only" had a couple of good seasons after 7-8 good seasons in NE. Corey Dillon only had one great season in NE after a bunch of great seasons in Cincy, but he was central to their SB winning team (over 1600 rushing yards). Same with Revis when he came to NE, Ted Washington when he went to NE (where absolutely dominated in 03), and Aqib Talib in a variety of locations (including NE). Welker was very valuable in Denver in his first year, and the team got to the SB. Teams know they're not getting 8 seasons of peak Ty Law, but they hope that in the 2 or so prime seasons he has left he can put them over the top. Law signed with a playoff team that made it to the second round the year before, but then their qb goes down and it's all over. He still had 10 picks in a great season.  Teams aren't looking for five great seasons from longtime former NE players, but rather a couple of good seasons plus an infusion of winning culture that hopefully makes them a SB contender. TB isn't looking for Brady to lead them to a SB in 2024; they are thinking about 2020 and 2021. And Gronk is now looking better than you suggest above.  

    I feel like this is the point I was trying to make in my original post.   If you are acquiring Gilmore it better be for right now and right now only.

    Barring injury I can see Brady playing 4 more years at his current level of play which is amazing right now. Patriots made a huge mistake letting Brady go, thank you Belicheat.

    I disagree.  He's hitting the wall.  There are already a lot of throws he can't make and they had to take out of the offense.  He's still playing well but the arm isn't going to get stronger.  There is a reason all of their outside WRs YPR has tanked this year and Scotty Miller is now a thing.  It will be interesting to see what happens when defenses readjust to what Tampa is doing now and they start daring them to throw deep on the outside.

    Only a couple of those guys have fallen off after they left...

    Really?

    Seymour had 2 more Pro Bowl seasons out of 4 and then was out of the league

    Milloy had 0 more Pro Bowl seasons and was a shell of his former self by the time he left Buffalo 3 years later

    Logan Mankins played 2 more seasons making 1 Pro Bowl then retired

    Nate Solder has been an absolute dumpster fire for the Giants

    Jamie Collins is on his 3rd team after getting traded by New England the first time (one of those teams being New England again who then let him go again)

    Ty Law had one great season with the Jets one good season with KC then fell off the planet

    Gostkowski is currently having the worst year of his career

    Welker caught 118 balls his last year in New England which is only 18 less than he caught in the remainder of his career combined

    Vinatieri is an exception in performance but not in salary. The Patriots spent a total of 11.4M salary cap dollars on Vinatieri in 10 seasons. The Colts spent 39.7M cap dollars on him over  the next 14 years. BB replaced him with the aforementioned Gostkowski who costs almost exactly the same amount as Vinatieri over those same 14 years except Gostkowski was better statistically while kicking outside.

    Brady is still excellent but does anyone think that will last longer than a year or two?

    Gronkowski had a good game Sunday but is still a shadow of his former self. Again, do you see a long excellent career for him in Tampa?

    nope.  Homeless people often have happy dogs.  Dogs are happy, eager to please, wonderful because it's their nature

    we selected those qualities and intentionally bred animals that met our wants and needs for a couple thousand years.  By nature, they are wolves.

    If Belichick is getting rid of a well-known important veteran you better know that Belichick thinks that player is done or at least isn't going to be worth what they will cost to re-sign.  They do this all the time and they are rarely wrong. These players usually fall off a cliff after another year or two. This list is far from comprehensive.

    Imagine TBD Circa 1992 After These Two Games

    Here are some threads I could envision at that time:

     

    * Jim Kelly is not the answer at QB start Reich!

    * Marv Levy is overrated, maybe look to the college ranks and bring in an elite coach like Barry Switzer

    * Thurman might not be as good as we thought, might be time to usher in Kenneth Davis?

    * Miami has taken over the division, our time is up
    * Marino is more accurate then Kelly

    * DL is trash, might be time to switch to a 4-3?

     

    Not to rain on your parade, but 3 of those statements are probably accurate.

     

    Marino was more accurate than Kelly

    The chronic lack of a nose tackle was a problem for the defensive line and it showed repeatedly.

    And whether you agree or not I think Levy was and is pretty wildly overrated.

    Bills have addressed slippery turf issue

    How does the NFL not have a universal turf? Why are teams allowed to have different types of turf?

    Because you need different solutions for different places. Bermuda grass grows really well in Florida. It doesn't grow well in the north and it goes dormant at the first bit of cold weather. Several teams have domes. You can't roll a grass field outside in Minnesota or Detroit after October. Growing grass fully inside hasn't gone well in several times it has been tried.

    If greenbay can do it so can we.

     

     

    Green bay doesn't have grass in the winter. They have green painted dirt. The warming system doesn't make the grass grow it just keeps the ground from freezing rock hard.

     

    Pittsburgh has grass, it's terrible after October and it just gets worse because the turf doesn't grow to self heal and you can't re-sod because the roots won't grow so it won't anchor.

     

    Also the reality of orchard park is that field needs to be plowed routinely. Run that equipment over grass in November/December and see if you can play on it. Pittsburgh gets 40 inches a year. Green Bay gets 48. Cleveland gets 54. Orchard Park gets 114 inches. The stadium is also below grade and the whole stadium is built to drain into the bowl of the field so drainage for a natural turf field will be interesting. Especially on the sidelines.

     

    It's not as easy as just saying I want grass.

    to busy during the off seson to do this? 

    Hey, I'm just explaining why it could be necessary. I'm not talking about who decides when it's necessary or who pays the bills when it's needed.
