Right me calling people like you homers is worse than you just stating everyone who doesn't agree with your opinion is stupid. Get off your high horse.
Actually many posters here for years have stated that we need a CB, WR, and pass rush and that signing old cooks won't get it done, before the fact. And guess what? Every year it doesn't get it done because we come to the offseason saying we need corners, receivers, and a pass rush. Funny how that works?
I don't know what a homer is? Aren't you the guy who can't even spell hypocrite? You're actually one the biggest going to every thread calling all people that see the obvious flaws with this team morons while spouting how BB is the best. He's the best coach, his GM side has let him down the last 5 years.
And don't give you that TB crap? Matt Cassel with one of the easiest schedules we have ever had as a team with essentially the same team that went 18-1 accounted for 7 less wins. TB was worth 7 wins EVEN THEN. The defense has fallen off even worse since you put Matt Cassel on last year's team they win 3-4 games MAX. TB is the team.
They spend to the cap they aren't cheap in terms of dollars. They are cheap in terms of getting top end talent when they desperately need it and opportunities to do so were there this off season for reasonable years and $$.
Also all those contingencies this team tried to make, how'd the tight end or wide receiver contingencies work out? The ones they were sooo smart about signing by "spreading the wealth" which I call being cheap.
Oh ya here's how it worked out
Shianco- cut
Hooman- garbage player
Winslow- cut
Fells- lucky to play 5 snaps
Gaffney - cut
Stallworth - cut, resigned, IR after 1 game!
This is what happens when you become too obsessed with spreading the wealth you pay for a bunch of marginal talents that get cut because they suck or hurt because they're old.
I dont think the Pats being a superior franchise to all the others is an opinion though. I dont need a high horse to see it. It is a fact. I see the holes. I want the awesome WR just as much as you do. We all do...I guess instead of the pink hat sheep people who probably post here once a month and just say THE PATS ARE THE BEST!!!!! and all that garbage. Ok whatever...
Most people in the stands just go and root for the team and couldnt name 5 players.
I still dont get your gripe? We diddnt get Peppers. Most here would have rather not. So why is that an issue? Too much money for one guy.
Carter and Anderson were great. Werent they? What was the problem there?
They at least tried with Ochco and Hainesworth. No risk since they were both cuttable. Nobody knew Ochco would suck so bad. At least they tried? I know they diddnt get Fitz...Can they?
Regardless, you think they should just pay top end talent and then do what with the rest of the 53? Dont bother getting guys like Fells and Hooman and Stallworth because they dont meet the standards you set?
Ahhhh I think you need Roster min guys for just in case scenarios. Right?
And seriously, you correcting my typos is funny?
Are you 17?
A homer is someone who thinks WW is the greatest WR of all time. Or Curtis Martin was a better Pat than Jet....or that Kevin Faulk was better than Marshall...
That is a homer.
People on this board who show knowledge about everything football from the game side to the business side of things who support management are APPRECIATIVE because of two things.
They measure their team against the others
They measure their team against how it could be, used to be.
I hate to tell you. Your fantasy world, where the team missed out on all this glory because we diddn't sign Julius Peppers dosen't exist.
The only people acting this way are people with unrealistic, ridiculous unattainable, expectations stemming from following this team only when the going got good.
That is fair weather.
What would you be like if they were a 500 team? I remember it like yesterday. You guys cant even handle this?
