Ah the eternal cry of the hopeless hanging on every possibility no matter how minute that the team that has OWNED them and the divsion for years might finally be slipping and that it might be their turn to sip from the golden chalice.

 

 

Keep dreaming, rumors of the Patriots imminent demise have been greatly exaggerated. (Mostly by you)

Why would the Patriots trade him?

 

Chill out man...you are getting too serious....Brady is not going anywhere.....

 

When it was rumored that Belichek is setting himself to go to NY in 2008, it is a bills fantasy for him to take Brady along with him to NY so that he is out of the AFC East.....

 

BTW, just for kicks if the Pats are offered 2 1st rounders and a 2nd rounder to get Brady, may be the Pats will take it.... :ph34r:

You gave no indication that you were being anything other than serious. If you'd thrown a smilie or something in there, I'd have responded differently.

Not in 07, but wait until 08. I believe that Belichick will be head coach of the Giants in 08, the deal that was set up by the meeting between Belichick and the Giants, and the meeting between Paoli and the Giants. Belichick has wanted to be HC of the Giants since he was assistant there, and I hear that Belichick's future fiancee works for the Giant's front office. This is all hearsay, but from some good sources.

Interesting coincidence:

 

Patriots | Owner hopes Belichick is part of team's future

Sat, 3 Feb 2007 08:07:49 -0800

 

Mike Reiss and Ron Borges, of the Boston Globe, report New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft says he hopes head coach Bill Belichick, who is believed to be signed through next season with a team option for 2008, remains part of the organization's future. "Well, I hope so. You can't win without great players, and I don't think great players can win without a great coaching staff. We're privileged to have both," Kraft said.

LOL! It always ends eventually. See the Cowboys of the mid-90's. Same rhetoric from their fans.

 

And a major problem for the Pats is their track record of treating their players. The latest stuff by Ted Johnson doesn't help.

 

Of course, what goes up must come down eventually right? Thats about the only thing you can hang your hat on. The Ted Johnson stuff is mostly media driven. No one has questioned a single word of it? Funny how you believe the media when it suits your purposes.

Keep on fantasizing that things will remain as they are, Prognastic. We've heard it a million times. Hell, we were guilty of it in the early-mid 90's.

 

"All is well!"

 

As for believing the media, the media didn't make Ted Johnson make those claims against Belichick and co. They merely reported what he said. And again it's another thing for prospective FA's to look at, taken with their history of underpaying/respecting their players, and say "maybe not."

Keep on fantasizing...

Fantasizing? Given your now-disproven predictions of doom the last few years, you seem to be the one who's been fantasizing.

 

The Patriots have not yet altered the habits and tendencies that have led them to six consecutive winning seasons, as well as five AFC East titles and the three Super Bowl titles during that span. If the tendencies have not changed, than why should the results?

well i always hope they will fade lol lol realistically they will not untill tom brady is retired from football.it is very hard to replace the great quarterbacks.just go ask the dolphins(dan marino) us(jim kelly)denver(john elway)niners(joe montana/steve young).when you get used to having a great quarterback you kinda get spoiled and take it for granted that you will always be winning and playoff bound.but i bet when tom brady is done playing football the patsies will have a 4 or 5 yers down period.go bills in"07

HD: My "predictions of doom" were regarding their chances of winning the SB again. So far I've been right the past 2 years; although admittedly it WAS close this year, what with Marty proving that he's nothing more than a great regular season coach and a playoff choker, and with the Pats building an 18-point lead against the Colts, only to suffer the biggest collpase in championship game history.

 

As I said, this off-season will tell a lot about the Pats. Will they open the checkbooks? Because if they don't, sure they might win the division again next year, but they won't win the SB.

 

And as it's looking, Belichick leaving after the 2007 season is a very distinct possibility. The Giants kept Coughlin, against the desires of their players and fans, for the upcoming season. Belichick can void the final year of his Pats contract (2008). Hmmmmm.
