When they trade their first round pick is when they become desperate.
Amen. They have lost the equivalent of 4 starters which obviously affects the depth. Losing two starters on defense ( Warren and Bodden) as well two on the O-line Mankins and Kazcur forces the team to start looking for depth. Put those places back in and maybe the Pats are selling, not buying.....

I think the pretense is more than obvious here, considering we're not yet to week 1. Like I said....the Jets. Down the hall, first door on the right. Look for the nameplate that reads, "desperation" in clear green letters. Because everything that team did in the offseason is what reeks of desperation.
There is no pretense. You are a waste of time to discuss this with though, so I'm done with you.

Meh, most reasonable people were predicting the Pats would be buyers at this point anyway. Because of the cap situation, it was expected that teams would be hanging on to veterans a little while longer, and that a few teams with obvious holes (like ours) would probably be buyers at this point rather than during the draft in April.
Instead, the knee-jerkers are just using this to reinforce their cognitive bias toward pessimism...disguised as objectivity, of course.
Actually, most people were saying how there would be more quality players cut at this point, seeing how that would not count against the cap.

it does nobody any good to pretend that the team is dramatically better than it is,
Actually it does me lots of good. If I didn't think the Patriots would win I wouldn't be looking forward to the game or the season. Optimism makes me feel better than pessimism does.

We laugh at the fans of other teams when they stick their heads in the sand and pretend that everything is awesome when it's not. Why should it be any less ridiculous just because the fan doing it roots for the Patriots?
Actually I don't. I firmly believe that a "fan" of another team, be it the Lions, or the Rams or the Raiders, who doesn't believe "that this is the year." Than they ain't really a "fan."

Quite right. Touche.
Still, I anticipated the Pats being buyers at this point. Though you are right that it's a bit of a wasteland right now.

If you thought that Lions fans had to believe "that this is the year", just before the team went 0-16, to really be a "fan", well, nothing more needs to be said really, because that says it all.

So according to you, if you're a realist and question your team than you're not really a fan and "true fans" must always think their team will win. Sounds childish to me.
Right, right. What's our record again, Princess? Exactly. Just relax and grow a set, and root for your team like a man already. Being a woman, you might as well be wearing GREEN.
Sorry Russ, there is no need to respond to someone who has a different opinion in this manner. He happens to be very good football poster even if you disagree with him.
How about you sit the rest of this one out, M-kay?
Not his best stuff. Doesn't really say anything. Every team has their fair share of busts.
The Patriots have made a lot of bad personel moves lately. Galloway being one, bad drafts have made the issue worse. What players do the Patriots have left from the following drafts? 2006, 2007, 2008 ?
