It is THE joke of the NFL. Hands outside the shoulders and grasping the back of the defender's jersey. It makes the NFL laughable. Holding calls are the MOST SUBJECTIVE CALLS for an official and you will NEVER see it called on a Pat's player on an important play. It is the one surefire way for officials to control games, Once the oline understands that there will be no holding calls against them.....

Came to Boston for college, started a business and met a gal from Brockton. Marvin Hagler is from here, also. I still am ticked off about that Sugar Ray Leonard fight.

Born about a 1/2 mile from where I currently live.

Your dog's name is Rocco and he got beaten up? Rico I could understand. But Rocco?

Call me crazy, (and many have). Westbrook goes nutty. Eagles 17 Pats 10

Congratulations. You did your homework on the QB rating. It was an unsubstantiated comment on the radio. I stand corrected. The rest of all my comments I have checked out, and they are all accurate. I would have apologized earlier, but my 1 post a day average doesn't bring me here as often as some.

I've created at least 2 posts with lengthy facts. One you chose to ignore, the other you chose to cherry pick one stat from and claim it is useless. Your credibility, since you've decided to impugn mine, is based on what...ignoring the whole of others' statements, jumping on the bandwagon mentality... I have a right to back Bledsoe while the rising tide is against him and I choose to do so with facts not rhetoric. As far as wishing Jp ill, I don't, I strongly believe bringing him in early is absurd.

Absolutely.

He moved better in and out of the pocket this year. He ran for positive yards more. His QB rating was just under 100 after the 0-4 start. His sacks dropped considerably, particularly after the 0-4 no McGahee start His number 1 WR ranked 45th in the NFL with a 58% catch rating and a sh-tload of important drops, his slot receiver position was essentially useless No TEs for the final 4 games. And all the people bitching about his totals should remember that he sat 4 4th quarters in 4 blowouts (3Ws, 1L) lots of NFL QBs use this garbage time to run up their stats. He knows the system and the coaches etc far better than anyone else. And finally, his QB rating is 40 points higher than the guy you're ready to turn the team over to.

The crowd mentality never worked with me.

Someone has to tell me what, in either preseason or his 4 regular season low pressure appearances, gives even the slightest suggestion that this kid is anywhere near ready to start.

What a joke. The teams' first winning season in how many years? Any one of 3 plays in 3 games gets us in this year Either no Chad Morton kickoff return or either of 2 Henry fumbles gets us in in 2002. 11 franchise passing records A 9-3 finish. Ranked 6th in the NFL (32 teams) by Jeff Sagarin, USA Today And everyone wants to blow up the QB position so we can rebuild the QB position from scratch? Brilliant!

No player has better benefited from the brilliance of an offensive coach. Charlie Weis is downright brilliant. He took Brady, wet behind the ears, and molded an offensive game plan around his very few skills. He pre programs the first two possessions so that Brady needs to do little thinking and even less reacting. Weis adjusts at halftime so that his offense attacks the weaknesses that the other team shows in the first half. He is the real genius of the Pats. To Brady's credit he has worked his ass off to improve his throwing skills. It remains to be seen if Weis' departure will have a serious and immediate effect on Brady next year. I think it will. It will manifest itself in a growing lack of confidence that Weis was responsible to impart to Brady. Belichicks lack of people skills will really begin to show up next year when Weis and Crennel move on. Not a bad tradeoff for 2 or 3 Super Bowl rings.

One bad call and we might have been watching our Bills play today... Crazy.

ABNE Anybody but New England. The darlings of the NFL, the TV Networks, and the clearly-on-the-take officiating crews have skated long enough. Bob Kraft makes me physically ill. Pummel Brady, and put this BS dynasty talk to rest.

ouchy..!!! That's gotta leave a mark.

I believe that Bledsoe deserves to start next year for this simple reason. A 9-3 finish after an 0-4 start without McGahee. Losman should be groomed on the sidelines and in pre-season. If a Bledsoe led team has a sub .500 record after 4 games then give it over to Losman and pray his brittle bones don't start to splinter after he faces real NFL linebackers with a game on the line.

There will be competition at QB in the form of training camp reps. Bledsoe will win, hands down. All the assumptions that Donahoe is throwing Bledsoe under the bus are pure speculation. He's indicating a willingness to get Losman's feet wet some more this year mainly to appease the town lynch mob. No one on that sideline could ever dream of handing the reins over to Losman at the start of the season with the embarrassing showing he had in his first 4 NFL games. All the situations were low pressure, and he looked liked a scared punk. He looked like an RJ understudy, and no team wants to advance this close to the playoffs and start over from scratch with an unknown rookie. Those of you who want to suffer through some 3-13 and 5-11 seasons while we keep our fingers crossed that this kid will produce, will be the first blame everybody around him and then run him out of town a year later. A 9-3 run, after an 0-4 start without McGahee, indicates that this team is playoff calibur with the current QB and some meaningful offseason acquisitions.

Dude, you're going 'round and 'round on this...kind of like a cat chasing its tail. You've heard of that pet/owner thing right?

This from a guy who referred him as AssDrew all season.

3 TDs to Campbell in one game is not featuring it? Campbell and Euhus were injured for the last 4 or 5 games. We were running out our 3rd and 4th string TEs at the end of the season. Frankly, if Campbell is healthy he's great backup TE.

McMichael.....sweeeet. TE is a glaring hole here. For Bledsoe, or any QB, it has become a great go-to option. Look at Wiggins with Minnesota. Pats threw him to the curb after SB 2002 (he caught 10 passes in the Oakland snow bowl game) and now he's Minnesota's LEADING RECIEVER.

If your guide to salary restructure is based on the Pitt game, then we're going to save a sh-tload of money, because EVERY player on the field that day should get a pay cut. And if the O and D coordinators are considered, more savings. And since the head coach has something to do about getting a team up for a game (your first shot at the playoffs in years!) then MM gets a cut for sending a totally uninspired team out there in a game Pitt was trying to give us.

Bledsoe has a lot of pride. He knows the fan base wants him out and some of his teammates are laying the blame on him also. He will take any reasonable trade to get out of Buffalo.

Not to mention.... Troy Brown gets to signal for a fair catch and when the return team is offstride he gets to run for 29 yards Samuel gets to deliver a skull cracking helmet to helmet hit on Colts receiver...no flag 3 pass interferences; 2 on Colts D 1 on COLTS OFFENSE! Perfectly timed O hold on INDY to kill a TD drive. Brady not in on the QB sneak....oh, wait..um...Touchdown! Latest flags you'll ever see are against Pats opponents. true, Colts played wimpy football...but the officiating at Gillette is laughable....a one-sided disgrace.
