There was a post about this a few months back that stirred up a really good conversation. It may be worth the search. I would but.....laziness and stuff

Butt stuff. Lots of butt stuff

It really is. Alarmingly so

A slap on the wrist in exchange for a slap of his..... fitting

Wait, what happened? Did Kraft do something?

As I said in my original post, we don’t have all the facts and there could be two very different realities occurring.

I just think there’s a difference between straight up going to a corner asking for sex and going into a massage parlor where the girls asks you if you want a rub at the end. But, I am a guy and most likely sexist and narrow-minded

I’m honestly torn on this one. As much as I hate the Pats, I never want to see someone’s personal life get flipped upside down. Also, the use of prostitution is extreme at this point. For all we know, the man got a rub down at the end of a massage. If he did that twice, should his whole legacy be ruined? I don’t know what actually happened and I honestly feel bad for the guy if he was that lonely that he resorted to that. Now, please excuse me while I go throw up after defending a member of the Patriots organization

You can’t expect me to read anything more than the title and first few posts. Be reasonable

I’ll be your huckleberry

This will clearly solve the issue.

I challenge how you remember that offense. Yes, it scored points and was well ranked. But just like records, ranks don't mean as much. We were a top tier offense the way we were a top tier defense this past season. We still got blown out quite a few times same as our offense did absolutely nothing quite a few times. Our offense was similar to the Ravens this year. Some teams were prepared, some were not. It worked until it didn't and when it didn't, it was terrible. It was an offense that would only get you so far, and was never sustainable. Also, that offense was all Roman and Lynn, not Rex. Rex got fired because he lost the locker room as well as not getting the team prepared. He relied on passion and motivation, not process and structure. That works if you win, buries you if you lose. We lost

Yes and no. I understand what you are saying. I think if they go 5-11, there will be a problem. Even if the 11 games are all lost by a field goal. I think this year needs to be a wild card race team up through the final weeks. If they miss, okay. But it should be close. After next season, we should looking for double digit wins. It’s not about a specific number, but the numbers usually indicate quality. 9-10 win seasons are wild card. 11+ wins are division winners. But again, I get what you’re saying too.

Correct about the OP being wrong with old guys. I regret losing two of them. Other than that, I’m good and think we are in a better place

I think a wildcard spot should definitely be within our goals this season. After that, division or bust

Foster, Milano, Teller....

I’m excited as well. So maybe calm isn’t the right word. Relaxed maybe? I’m excited to see who we get, without expectation. Whoever they pick up, I’m trusting it will be the right person

For the first time since the Super Bowl Years, I find myself increasingly relaxed. Not because I don’t care or expect them to suck, but because I’m actually trusting the process. I lost my crap when the drafted Allen. I’ve been pissed by certain FA signings. I’ve declared seasons over before they even started. Maybe it’s the successful undrafted free agents. Maybe it’s what I saw in the second half of the season. Probably all of it. All I know is, no matter who they draft or sign in free agency, I’m trusting that they know what they are doing. Even if it’s another defensive back, I’m good. They’ve earned it to me. For me, I don’t see a true number one receiver, so I can’t expect us to find one. I hope they sign one of the big name young FA OLB’s and a few offensive lineman. I’d like to see us draft a top TE, RB. Either way, I think the new regime has earned the faith and I’m going into this season with decent expectations as well as believe they will achieve them. It feels right finally.

I’m in. Even if we don’t trade down. Dude is a need and of value. There isn’t a WR worth taking that high. There isn’t a TE in FA. If they can trade back and get him, great. Does anyone know if we’ve even scouted him or spent any time with him?

Well, I would have said no before this lamp post

Signed with Cleveland. Good.

Yeah, there’s no way he’s coming here. The video alone. But then you have the other incidents within such a small time frame. Dude is a ticking time bomb and not worth the headache from the immediate people it would piss off by signing him

Leon Sandcastle

Thats crazy. I don’t remember them being one game away from undefeated

Sweet ***** Christ. Can we please get a mod to merge all of these Pats threads into one and then flush it somewhere!?
