Random TB news that doesn't warrant a thread

Jones has exceeded everyone expectations. Hes in a bad rookie slump now. We will see if he breaks out of it against Jags.

Brady now gets his chance to be HC Sunday. Arians just tested postive for covid.
Jones season is pretty much what I was expecting. He was the most NFL ready quarterback in the draft and McDaniels has done a great job with him. He has definitely hit a slump the last two games I think because of the weather mostly. I'm hoping in the off season he works on his arm strength 24 x 7. He just doesn't have an NFL caliber arm and that's a huge issue going forward.

I am not the biggest Arians fan but honestly the guy has done a great job from week 12 last year forward. He handed the offense over to Brady and that has made all the difference for them winning the super bowl last year and attempting to repeat this year.

One thing for sure has been cemented. Brady had great coaching New England but he was not dependent on it. He has proven that in spades in Tampa.
 
Huh

That's a massive turnaround from your numberous anti BB posts. You kept looking for any excuse to trash him. The only way I can intrupt this post. You must finally be letting the anger against him go.
I have. Brady winning the Super Bowl last year and the Pats having a good season this year provided a lot of closure. I think it just took time.
 
You'd be hilarious if you weren't so pathetic. Go back and look at your Sunday posts after the game. Closure, my ass. You were gloating and attempting to rub all the actual Patriot fans' noses in it. You shit on Belichick (no surprise there), Mac Jones (you suggested he might NEVER be better than he was Sunday) and you pretty much danced on the Patriots grave. I've been on 3 message boards on a pretty regular basis for about 15 years and I've seen my share of lying, duplicitous, means spirited bastards. But, you, my dear, take the cake and no one else is remotely close.

This board is a different story. King is a Patriots fan and calls it like he sees it and he has been trolled here for any criticism of Bill or the team. It is nauseating to try to follow the team with any objectivity in this place.

Go back and read the Bills game thread and Tommy's thread about the season being over and you will find long time Pats fans all over them being called trolls for agreeing with Tommy. It is so pathetic how this board is Pats homers with rose colored glasses through and through.

there is literally no pats fan who agreed with tommyd and who was called a troll in his thread about the season being over.

I'm neither talking about nor referring to game threads (which I've NEVER read or participated in) and I'm not talking about or referring to "Tommy" or any other random poster. I'm referring to and talking about YOU. There are 2 principal reasons why I never read or participate in game threads: 1) I'm far too busy concentrating on what I'm watching, and 2) I'm far too emotional during games to respond objectively, either positively or negatively, Just stop obfuscating essential issues by diverting negative attention away from you and onto others. I'm not going to repeat my assessment of you contained in my above post, #128. But, I'll add this one to my list: like most narcissistic people with undeserved superiority complexes, you think other people are stupid and don't see through your BS. Believe me, we do. Virtually all of us do.

Fyi - game threads are started before the game and are also used as a post game debrief as well. I rarely post during the game for the same reasons as you but enjoy the post game commentary which usually runs the entire week.

For someone who claims to "enjoy the post game commentary" it's interesting that your "enjoyment" doesn't seem to include much active participation from you in that post game commentary unless NE loses. Didn't see much from you for 7 straight weeks and then your typing fingers magically became functional again after 2 straight losses, particularly the second of those losses. What a coincidence...

I took a break from the board except the Brady section. I have been back for 2 weeks but I assume your confirmation bias probably just didn't notice.

That's dishonest Mazz and you know it. You disappeared when the Patriots were winning and you weren't posting much at all in the Brady section. There's even a thread about you bailing in this section! You've been back in the 2 weeks since the Indy loss. It was the same as your pal Middy. When the patriots started well last season, Middy dramatically disappeared, especially when the Buccs bad loss to the Saints was added to the mix. Then post Cam Covid and the Patriots start losing, he comes back with a bang and was positing prolifically again.

You and other trolls need some honest self-reflection and ask yourself why do this? It's so transparent, you must know how this looks? The difference between you and other trolls and real fans is that we don't stop posting when our team the Patriots, are losing. We will criticise the game planning, the players, the coaches etc. We post when the team is winning and losing.

Why you are on this board is baffling, it is quite clear the Patriots are subordinate to Brady and Buccs for you so why not join the Buccs forums and you can talk happily there with other Brady fans?
 
I like having actual football debates. We can talk about games & Season. Not just one sided Bask in their glory posts. Thats why your see both criticism & praise in my posts.
This board used to be that way. It was a place that you could talk about everything and not be ridiculed for criticizing the team. I am not sure what happened. Part of it is I think when Brady left people so badly wanted this team to be successful because he won the super bowl last year and they see that as reflecting poorly on Bill even though it doesn't. So any criticism of Bill now drives them crazy.

Oh for god sake....you have to do better than that! There is plenty of criticism of the team when it warrants it. When the playcalling sucks, when players drafted or brought in suck etc. It's nonsensical to say otherwise and you know it. So no, you're not getting away with that one.

Im not going to lie. You & Middy are guilty of pushing a agenda. When it came to Brady. Let's not forget your Brady was the patriots way quote.. Should have been giving star treatment & Everything TB gave him.

Your honesty is appreciated. I also admire your use of the agenda-pushing term. It's a gentle, polite euphemism for trolling.

OK, I'm convinced you don't even always read the posts to which you reply. I just referred to you magically returning to posting for the past 2 weeks! My god, you're genuinely obtuse beyond belief.

I still believe that - the Patriot Way was the Brady way. I just took it off my avatar. I have never been disingenuous with my fandom for Brady and belief that he was the one most responsible for the dynasty. It's just most here can't seem to handle it and resort to trolling and name calling.
