Some of you suprise me - New England Patriots Forums

Whats the deal here.( seems to me like a lot of nit picking by Patriots fans)

You guys have Tom Brady back, you already have a great team.

You have the best coach in the league

A beautiful new Stadium and a stable franchise.

11 picks in the draft.

So what is the main complaint here?

Please don't tell me the Big bad Dolphins have you worried?

If I was a Patriot fan, I would be dancing in the street!

I wish you could spent one day on a New York Jets or Buffalo Bills board, you simply do not understand how good you have it!

Hate to do it... but I agree with you. All this whining and arguing about getting Jason Taylor/Julius Peppers makes folks like myself who suffered through some really lean seasons B.B.B (Before Belichick/Brady) just shake my head and laugh.

Its New England, people wouldn't feel right if they didn't worry, their probably Red Sox fans too.

This is not the place for this kind of thread. This is for new members to introduce themselves.

I'll move this to the VLR.

Whining??
you have 11 picks in the draft, the Patriots can package the picks and get any player they want!

God, I wish I had your problems

I didn't even mention how the Patriots won 11 games without Brady....

Man, enjoy it while you can, nothing lasts forever!

Hey Slammer, good to see you back posting! I'm a regular at BBMB and miss your commentary.

You should have seen all the 20-20 hindsight, doom and gloom, and armchair GM's last year - from the Super Bowl loss to the early season losses against Miami and San Diego. Matt Cassel was placed a under a microscope and dissected from an 0-4 pre-season to replacing Brady and the first few shaky starts.

It's not always like that, usually the signal-to-noise ratio is very good here. Here's a couple of (better) examples of what you can expect to see during the season:

Indianapolis Breakdown (AFC Championship)

Offensive Pass Protection Breakdown (EXCELLENT READ)

Pats/Dolphins tape breakdown

Satisfaction breeds complacency. Plus this is the stuff in the news now. Of course we are going to debate about it. It's not like we are saying, "Woah is me, we are going to suck this year."

Slammer can correct me if I am wrong, but I think he saw a thread in "The Practice Squad" from last September, after the loss to Miami, that was recently revived by JSn. We did have a whole lot of gloom and doom then, and he most likely did not see the dates of the original comment(s).

I'm thrilled to be a Pats fan. Baring injuries, this could be the most talented team that the Pats have ever fieldeded. I don't think winning the AFC East will be much of a problem this year
