Default Pete Prisco: "Old and slow linebacking corps will hurt Patriots' chances"

Even though they are a bit up in age I will still take our experienced big game linebackers of Seau, Bruschi and Vrabel over all others in our division except maybe Jonathan Vilma and Zach Thomas (also up there in age a bit).

Vrabel, Colvin, Thomas aren't that old. They may not be young but they aren't old - they're in their prime.

LOL at his title: AFC East Preview: Offense fine, but 'D' may be Pats problem

Yes, so far, the D has looked REALLY bad. I look forward to the season. This D is arguably more talented than it ever has been, but we'll have to see. And then Prisco will make some otheroutlandish claim and we'll move forward.

The Superbowl is a "lock" baby! Pete's fallen off the bandwagon and ready to be roadkill for the Bob Kraft/Bill Belichick juggernaut once again! Now that's the way to start an NFL season!!!

I like how, in a chart accompanying the same article, they rank the offenses and defenses from last year. NE points allowed: #2.

Prisco is making way too much of one game. Yes the D lost that game last year. They were opposed by the best offense in the league and overcome by injuries (unless Alexander actually belonged in that game). It's not an excuse for why they lost, but instead a reason why that game is a poor predicative tool.

Basically, pick an adjective: lazy, shortsighted, disingenuous, reactionary. They all fit.

My feeling exactly. We've never won anything since Pete's been forced to like us.

What does he know about defense anyway? His Binky is Peyton and he only left him after years of failure because he's a shameless frontrunner.

Welcome back you spineless weasel. Tell us how good the colts are every week. Rodney needs some wallpaper!

Pete "the hack" Prisco should not be allowed to waist ink. I know CHFF has called him a hack.But even before I read their take on him I never thought he was much of an expert. Many of the things he came out with just never made sense. He's like Bogus I don't pay attention to him.

Great players and real men don't make excuses of why the Colts made that dramatic comeback,The guys took it upon themselves to just acknowledge that they were outplayed in the 2nd half and no excuse like the virus or flu epidemic will have ever came out of a players mouth here in NE,nor was the players using 'the stadium was excessively hot' excuse either.
