I caught some of the Skins/Boys game yesterday and it was good to see ol Blinky Caldwell catching some balls and helping his team. I know he had those horrific drops in the AFCCG but for a guy that was pressed into a role that he really ain't cut out for he didn't do too bad for the Pats last season....good to see him land on his feet

Sorry, but i have to say PULLEASE !!!

Good "ole Binky" cost us a Super Bowl <--- one rather reasonable way to look at it. There were other factors, but if you isolate him, you can say that.

No way on god's earth was BB gonna keep a guy who chokes in the clutch. That is un-patriot-like.

again, sorry, but i have nothing good to say about him. Nothing.

Without Caldwell the Patriots don't even have a shot at getting to the Super Bowl, so (Please be quiet - edited) with the "he cost us a SB" crap. He had one horrendous drop (the other was minimal because of Gaffney's TD grab the next play) but the blame for the AFCCG falls at the feet of a worn out defense and a running game that was supposed to be a strength that fell apart down the stretch and into the playoffs. Caldwell's big time catch against the Chargers was "clutch" and, next to Troy's strip, the biggest play of that game.

The guy was a huge part of a 12 win season and now he's vilified like Peyton Manning around here. Grow up.

I clicked over to the game and the first thing I saw was him drop a pass. I felt so bad for him.

Dudes, i cant believe you feel any need to defend the guy.
he's probably a great guy, and yes he did a fine job during the season, nothing spectacular, but solid. (tho you couldargue that Jabar was passing him as the season went on)

what cannot be denied is that he dropped 2 passes in critical situations due to CHOKE NERVES.

i'm done. he has no place on a championship, 60 min men team.

Yes, he did drop 2 critical passes, but the WHOLE TEAM dropped the ball in that game. I seriously doubt the Patriots lead they gave up in that game was attributed directly to Caldwell. It's a team sport, they ALL played like garbage the second half and they ALL lost the game. Now get over it, it's the 2007 playoffs.

Caldwell's drops were horrendous.

His drop where Gaffney bailed him out cannot be excused. He choked TWICE.

There's no way this team was going to keep a guy that can't handle the pressure of a big game. No way. He just doesn't fit with the Patriots.

Everyone says "yeah but what about his catch during the Chargers game?"

well that catch was nice but all starting receivers in this league can make that catch, and 75% of them wouldn't run out of bounds after making the catch.

Reche was the leading receiver on a team 30 minutes from a Super Bowl. And since Chicago sucked he probably would have been on 70% of everyone heres TOP PATRIOTS OF ALL TIME list.

Ugh. That's what bothers me as much as anything. We can make a case for being the best team last year. Even more so, we can make a case for being the second best team behind INdy.

I know that if we are fortunate enough to make it to the SB, there won't be an "easy" team waiting for us in Arizona like the Colts had last year. Chicago was the worst SB team I've seen since the 94 Chargers. It's typical of the Colts that they had such an easy, un-remarkable opponent in the SB last year. Had they played Philly of 2004 or Carolina of 2003 or the Rams of 2001 they would have lost.
