    Thinking out loud about the state of this franchise

    The first part of the dynasty, 2001-2004, was a pretty typical "window" by NFL standards. That team was talented and deep on both sides of the ball. After a couple of down years Bill went all in on offense, building a juggernaut, one of the best offenses in league history, but it ended poorly...

    Patriots QB Mt Rushmore

    Saw this on YouTube... I think for the Pats, the first 3 are pretty easy, but their may be some debate on the fourth. 1. Brady (obvious) - No comment necessary 2. Bledsoe - Almost as Obvious 3. Grogan - Numbers and heart 4. Eason - Purely a numbers pick - but I'm open to argument here

    Gilmour?

    Just received a push notification that Gilmour is being cut. Hope it's incorrect, but hasn't been before.

    The Julian Edleman Tribute Week thread

    Because he deserves his own thread. There are players who have been on this team over the last 20 years who embody the Patriot Way more than most. These aren't the superstars, but they are the soldiers you want next to you in battle. Troy Brown was the original, Kevin Faulk stepped in, and...

    The last time the Patriots finished a season with a losing record...

    https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/what-the-world-was-like-the-last-time-the-patriots-finished-below-500/ Got the idea from the article above. 9-11 was just another day in September There was an election controversy (the more things change...) We had made it through Y2K unscathed Survivor...

    Best WR of all time

    Skipping the poll because there are too many valid answers. So Moss and Rice are arguing about who is best. When I look at the stats I pretty much see Rice as having better numbers because he played 21 years and Moss played 14. On a per season basis they are remarkably similar, except for...

    If you are in the Carolinas

    Hunker down. Looks like it might be a big one.

    So there's a game on I guess

    Hoyer holds the ball too long, Like Bledsoe but he doesn't have the canon.

    What's with all the corn?

    Had to drive 2/3 of the way across the country last week. We grow an ungodly amount of corn in this country, Driving across a number of the big flat states and there was nothing but corn for a thousand miles as far as the eyes could see. It was also surprisingly unsettling to be in places with...

    QB Levels

    In the offseason we start looking at lots of QBs who are available and suddenly everyone on the market is a "franchise" QB. It will become obvious in Sept that some of the dudes getting the big bucks are just OK, or worse. So let's think about plugging QBs into a scale based on performance...

    2018 Winter Olympics

    Off we go... No NHL stars this year, but I'll still check out the hockey to see how it looks (N.B. root for Team USAs Chris Bourque (Rays oldest) if your looking for a Boston Angle). Really looking forward to the Alpine Skiing, looks like a strong US team, especially on the women's side. The...

    A questionable call...still a game to play

    Was Deon Lewis down by contact before Myles Jack stripped the ball? Maybe yes, maybe no, that's not really the point. The real issue here is, as a football team, what did the Patriots do about it. They kept playing football, got the ball back and won the damn game. So the next time your team...

    At least one Steeler gets it

    They will probably cut him for not sticking with the program http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/01/14/david-decastro-on-teams-pregame-obsession-with-patriots-its-embarrassing-and-stupid/

    Tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999

    The world is a much different place since the last time the Bills were preparing for a playoff game... Bill Clinton was President. George W Bush was just one of several GOP hopefuls heading into the Iowa Caucus and the New Hamphire Primary. Tom Brady was a Senior at Michigan leading the team to...

    Don't you think it's time we moved on to Buffalo

    Bills are playing for the playoffs, so they won't roll over, but the pattern has always been close game/blowout with the Bills.

    LA-LA.....Ha Ha

    So after a generation of no football. After screwing over a loyal fan base. After a series of slimy maneuvers, Kronke wins the battle of Los Angeles and moves his team back to the media capital of the world. And on opening day it looks like maybe 40,000 people bothered to show up. Watching...
