I know Wes is diminutive and got robbed on the pro bowl, but jeez...LOL

And I guess some folks never learn...

Same here, neverfrigginever. I turn away if they even show a highlight from those games on TV. I'd rather cut off a pinky then watch that garbage.

Just re-playing plays from those games in my mind is painful enough, I don't need to see the real thing.

Welker 31st is nuts. I guess the argument is he only did it because of Moss and Brady but I think we all saw enough with our eyes to know how good he is.

I think its Welker 15, he put 315, and notice how the 3=#... musta just missed pressing shift

BelichickFan

Thanks - still too low for me but better.

I couldn't give a crap about our record so long as it ends with a super bowl win.

How is Brady #1? Everyone knows that he is going to suck next year when he doesn't know the signals of the other team.... oh wait that happened this past year too... geez they must have been "cheating" then too.

I'm a bit surprised myself that you guys haven't upgraded the #2 QB spot. While you've got one of the best ever to play the game at #1, if something happens to Brady even your loaded team would struggle to win 10-11 games with Cassel at the helm, IMHO--Brady is that important to your other strengths, like getting Moss and Welker the ball. Wouldn't it make sense to give C-Pep (Randy could get him in line if need be, I'm sure, and already has chemistry with him) or Leftwich a try, for ex? O'Connell (?) may turn out to be decent later on, but he's only a rookie and couldn't really be expected to step in right away if there's a problem with Brady. This is really your only big and obvious Achilles heel at present, so surprised that it hasn't been addressed, especially when options are available. Then again, perhaps Pioli's playing a waiting game to drive the price down--that wouldn't surprise me either, although with QB's you would want them involved in your OTA's, etc. as early as possible to get to know the program. As the King of Siam would say, "is a puzzlement."
