Glad somebody got the reference. You in Brockton? (I've never been but in my younger days I read alot about the great boxers throughout history. One of my favorite books of all time was about the real "Sugar Ray," Ray Robinson - Walker Smith, Jr.). He and Joe Louis were my idols - and I wasn't born before they retired.
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.

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

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.

You lose all credibility with statements like this. I don't know if you like DB on a personal level or what your story is, but REPEATEDLY throwing out JP's passer rating last year based on 4 or 5 passes is fuggin ridiculous. It appears that you like DB to the point where you hope that JP fails. Whatever floats your boat....I guess.
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.

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.

"Everybody" will be ready to lynch JPL the minute he falters as well. I guarantee that if he throws 4 INTs in his first game, everyone will be saying, "We should've kept Bledsoe! I've said that all along!" or "I told you we should've signed [insert veteran QB here]! Why did we start JPL, the guy sucks!!!!"
Guaranteed. It happened with TC, it happened with AVP, it happened with RJ, it happened with DF, it happened with DB, and it will happen with JPL.

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.

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.

I've got a better option- regardless of the outcome of the games Sunday you are forced to post an original thought about the game of football on TSW for the first time in history............................................................................................................................................ We'll miss you!
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.

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.

If Bills management is planning on keeping Drew we need a stud TE. Not maybe, but definately. If you looking at Drew's numbers in his playoff years with NE, those being 96-98 Ben Coates was the man for Drew. Big Ben caught 62, 66 and 67 balls in the playoff season, respectively. Even in Drew's first years while the Pats weren't playoff bound Ben caught 96 in 1994, 84 in 1995. He established that short passing game along with Curtis Martin, which gave Drew the short option. I think the addition of Willis McGahee to our RB core this year helped Drew out with both the long and short passing game. But, Campbell isn't going to get the kind of attention that a Freddie Jones or EVEN an Anthony Becht would get. FA in 2005.
How about a package deal to Miami Henry/Campbell for Randy McMichael?(Drool) Or Henry to Arizona for F. Jones/3rd-5th round draft pick.
If management is serious about keeping Drew in Buffalo, they need to shore up the TE situation.
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.

The Patsies would have won anyway yesterday, BUT ...
would it kill the officials to call holding on the Pats' OLine?
did they think that concentrating on defensive holding made offensive holding legal?
Freeny would have eaten Brady alive yesterday if they started calling the Pats for holding.
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.

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.....
