Go away Dirk. You exposed yourself in the last twenty or so comments you've made as a troll. I enjoy intelligent conversation about football with fans from other teams, but obviously you do not fall under that category.

We lost a lot in 2007 when they benched Stallworth to go with Gaffney - too bad Stallworth couldn't be relied on to be in the right place because we missed his speed; hopefully Galloway will get that speed back that we lost with Stallworth but also run better routes.
Great to hear about Brady's accuracy, though, every marker of the knee not bothering him is great (the knee could affect accuracy if he was favoring the re-made knee a little).
Well said, I was a big Donte Stallworth fan, and was a bit dissapointed that he was not used more in the offense, and thought he could have given them more as a outside threat.. But it must be the dredlock thing that affects the head of these wr.. Stallworth, Gabrial.. They must have had a hard time understanding the playbook, or running bad routes that cause some disconcern..

Reminds me of Brady-->Moss in May/June of '07. But this is April. A great sign of things to come for Galloway, Brady AND, most importantly, the '09 season. It doesn't mean we win the SB, but it still gives me that warm, fuzzy feeling.
BTW, I agree with drak375042. Brady isn't the the greatest QB in the world, but we have more pressing needs to address in the draft, so I guess we'll settle for him. I just hope he doesn't choke like he did in all the playoff games since '01.
Tom Brady is accurate? Where was it in the superbowl? He is a terrific player but he is a mega choker, thats right he is an even bigger choker than peyton. he short arms all his throws and he misses wide open receivers in the clutch. He is like the arod of football. Great player but a choker.
Living here in the Tampa area I can tell you that Galloway has speed that will knock your socks off. Last year he could have played but was either in Gruden's doghouse for some reason, or was replaced in his scheme by Antonio Bryant - who had a great year. Biggest knock I would have on Galloway is that he's not as good as Gaffney at run blocking, in my opinion. I would suggest that Pats fans discard last years stats, and also completely disregard the idea that he has slowed down. That's not to say that he is more susceptible to injury, because at his age he is; I'm just saying that he was healthy enough to play a whole lot more than he did last year. My biggest concern is not his health, age, or speed; it is how he will fit in to an offensive scheme that may call on him to be an effective run-blocker.
Nice comments. I'm very excited to see what Galloway adds to this offense, almost as much as Fred Taylor. I think that Moss suffered last year from Cassel's inabiliy to throw the deep ball, but almost as much from a lack of other deep threats. Galloway and Lewis should add a speed dimension which was lacking. I expect the 2009 offense to be better overall than either 2007 or 2008 - better run game than 2007, better deep passing game than 2008. Maybe not as many points as 2007, but stronger and more diversified overall. As long as the OL can protect TB.

Problem solved, for Brady's next three superbowl wins, he will remember to remove the three championship rings that weighed him down 2 years ago........
Eat your heart out Dirk......he will be the G.O.A.T when he hangs 'em up for good.

No doubt the gameplan was mostly to throw short, but Moss had some terrible drops last yar.
I thought Cassel's first pass after replacing Brady was a deep ball to Moss, throwing from his own endzone with a 3rd and 10+, which was pretty much on the money.
I still think the Pats had gelled and could have done some damage in the playoffs if not for the tie-breakers, or a couple of key games. Certainly, the Colts won about 5 games based on pure luck (and opposing coaching incompetence) to start the season. Not that they didn't win and didn't deserve to be n the playoffs, but the Pats played well enough to get in. I don't see 2008 as a failure. 11-5 is a good year no matter how you look at it (except for those who have two choices: win the superbowl or you suck)
