Actually, it's pretty funny when you think about it. He's either Ron Borges on here mixing it with fans who hate his guts and despise his laughable impersonation of a journalist, justifying his own petty-minded prejudices and poorly argues theses. Which is insecure pathetic.

Or he's someone impersonating that person. Which is slightly less pathetic, but pretty sad all the same.

Poteat knows the system. Now that they have 2 weeks, maybe they will work someone else in.

I'd like to see the team go for Porter. We can get by with the current roster of receivers, but we'll be a serious threat to win the Super Bowl if we picked up a talent like Porter. I do not feel that the current receiving corps is good enough to allow us to make any kind of run in the playoffs.

Troy is the #1 receiver? Give me a break! Great fellow and all. Really versatile and everything, but we're in sad shape if he's our #1.

Reading the rookie stats of today's outstanding receivers around the league doesn't give confidence that we'll see much out of Chad Jackson this year. So, it's Brown, Gabriel, and Roche. Now we've added Gaffney. Help!!!

On the one hand, rookie wideouts have a bytch of a time producing their rookie year it seems. On the other hand, the Pats seem not to have much of a choice but to put CJ in there and ask him to produce.

CJ has 2 more weeks to get healthy and learn the system and run the plays, I really hope that when we come back from the break, we see CJ and Gabriel lining up every play, and Caldwell and Brown come in on 3rd down (both seem to be pretty good at making catches for 1st downs).

Me too, that's one of the first things I thought when I heard he was released. I was hoping to get a draft pick from the desperate Colts.

Still, with BB and Georgia-alum Seymour, I think NE is the only place where Sullivan had a chance to excel.

I would say even more likely he'll wind up with the Jets.

Although since he's so great, I'm assuming you have him as Brady's new top target?
He was released due to character issues (possession of an unlicensed firearm), not because of his lack of ability.

I was of the understanding that he was let go for an inability to pick up the west coast offense that the Eagles run.

As well with them picking up Stallworth (who knows the same type offense already) a few days before the final cuts, they likely had no real need for GAffney anymore.

This really isn't that much of a suprise. Did people really expect them to continue the season with only four WR's on the roster?

Sad to see Hank go. He'll be back.
