jays52 is certainly not a Chicken Little, and he knows his football. You may not agree with him, but your vitriol is aimed at the wrong person.
Why can't that be Brandon Tate?Basically they need an upgrade over Sam Aiken.
Oh, my vitriol? That what it was? I thought it was just one Pats fan telling another to NOT throw a guy under the bus after ONE friggin' year of service. Are we really gonna cry all year when our team falls short, and just aim our vitriol at him all year again?
This team was missing pieces last year. Our D was young and inexperienced, and completely lacking playmakers. And our O never had NUMBER TWO receiver all year worth squat. Sure, our O coordinator sucked at times, as Welker was single-handedly running our O would clearly demonstrate. But we're not going to draft playmakers for Brady or our offense because our coordinator is garbage, so lets not even bother? Right. Vitriol. Ya nailed that one.
Buddy, spare us this kindof joke like commentary. This is insulting to other football fans that actually have a clue, yet refuse to throw a person into the garbage because he failed to win a Superbowl his first year running the offense. Inject a little perspective into your rants next time.
the talent we currently have at that spot really shouldn't be any kind of excuse for not advancing, and it wasn't the problem against the ravens, saints, et al.
It was clearly a problem, and it clearly cost them late in games, as teams were able to adjust to Moss and Welker.
haha...well, the ravens weren't adjusting to welker in the playoffs, and I'll point back to my earlier comment about 2006 and the fact that you don't get pro-bowlers at every position.
that ravens game was lost on three plays ---- they gave up an 80 yard rice td, which is not because of their #2 receiver.
they let suggs get to brady, which is not because of a #2 receiver.
and they missed a kick, which is not because of a #2 receiver.
also, if you want to add in the fact that the ravens ran over the pats and actualy won a game running the ball 50x, which also is not because of the #2 receiver.
again, a pro-bowl #2 would've been great, but I wouldn't say it's on top of the list of issues ---- at least for next year, anyway.
edit: and are you also saying it was clearly the problem vs the saints?
Your called someone a Chicken Little when he's not. You then followed it up with
I have no problem with calling others out. In your case here, you simply targeted someone erroneously, that's all.
if wr was such a problem, and the pats supposedly couldn't move the ball, then how is it they were able to score points in the first half?
again, compare this team to 2006 and tell me how starved we are at wr.
Because teams adjusted in the 2nd half.
and apparently we didn't, which is more indicative of coaching, which is why I posted in this thread to begin with.
don't tell me teams were going into the game not knowing welker and moss were our receivers.
how about you compare our wider receiver corps to baltimore --- they beat the eff out of us while completing like 4 passes.
Was their anywhere in my posts where i said WR was our only problem. You keep bringing up the baltimore game man. Look at the whole season, not just that game. We got beat because we couldnt stop their run game ( And Both Wilfork and Warren were not at 100percent). We also couldnt move the ball consistently and turned the ball over too much.
Geeze, Baltimore only completed 4 passes, but i dont think you will find many people arguing that we need to improve our pass rush and overall pass defense. Look at the whole season and not just one playoff game.
You say we dont need to look at WR because we are better than we were in 2006,.
is that what I said?
could you quote that?
I believe I also mentioned the saints game --- was wr our problem there?
