  1. I didn't say it was much. But with a draft pick, it's part of what they get. The pats didn't steal anything. We did what they do, a lot. But some here complain about everything. If this situation was reversed, we'd be idiots for overpaying a 6 carry back.
  2. Stealing would imply a one sided transaction. We get a 5th and cap relief. As others have said, it's the kind of thing.the pats do all the time. They already lost 3 players this year who are arguably better at their position than MG.
  3. I don't understand the 'same mistake' thing. Do you watch what other teams do? Good players leave good teams for other teams EVERY YEAR.
  4. We might care, but it wouldn't be a big deal. This board is ridiculous since the pats made that offer. We're not losing McCoy to them.
  5. It doesn't send a message to free agents. Look at the team that's signing MG.
  6. Agreed for the most part, but open to being surprised. I'm not counting on it, but Brady's decline could come sooner. Even BB seems to be considering that possibility, with his reluctance to trade jimmy. As for BB. I remember when Shula was a scary genius - until he wasn't. I will continue to hope.
  7. They didn't fleece us. If any other team signed MG, we wouldn't even care.
  8. All true, but that really reinforces how vital BB and TB are to that team. All of these moves that have everyone doing cartwheels are basically a big nothing. It's almost like the could take any roster in the nfl and still be a SB contender, as long as they have those 2 guys.
  9. We actually way overrate average players. Both Bills and Pats fans are talking like this was as one sided as the Herschel Walker trade. They got a decent rb and we get a draft pick.
  10. Pats are really stocking up on mid level rb's. Kind of a strange offseason for them - not their usual m.o.
  11. I'm with you on this one. When the wheels come off for Brady, a lot of these moves won't look as good.
  12. My message to half of the posters on this thread: Man up! The patriots have so many here so beaten down. Overpaying for a backup rb just became the equivalent of the Herschel walker trade somehow. They're not gods.
  13. I hope the pats do make him their main guy. He's not that kind of player.
  14. The pats are a passing offense. Their definition of primary back is very different from ours.
  15. Qb and coach. Love mg, but he's not going to change our record either way.
  16. I hope he does stay. BB won't accept not having an early round pick - might be more tempted to deal jimmy.
  17. Every team. Every team loses good players. Every year.
  18. 2nd player in 2 years? Do you watch what other teams do?
  19. They also lost much better players than mg. that's the nfl. It's only in buffalo that the angst meter goes off the charts for a backup.
  20. He's a backup. I don't want to pull out all the stops on every player because the pats might grab him. This thread is embarrassing.
  21. Because they have a great coach and qb. Not because they got a backup rb.
  22. This thread is crazy to read. It's what happens to a fanbase when a rival has their # for the better part of 2 decades, so I get it. But that doesn't make it rational.
  23. Let's be clear about this: the Pats lose guys like this all the time. It's why they always have so many draft picks. And, of course, it's genius when they do it. Everything they do is genius, because they have the greatest coach and qb in history. That's it. It covers up any mistake they make and makes everything look great.
  24. They may or may not have a plan. But losing a backup rb hardly indicates whether they do or not.
  25. The only really bad thing about this is the dozen fire Whaley threads that pop up as soon as he gets a 3 yard Td run on national tv.
