Just came in and caught up on the thread....so....
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, I'm over it.
First off, calling Revis "Mevi$" and a "whore" is absurd. He came up with the Jets, cut his teeth with the Jets, and now he's going back to New York for a TON of money. Good for him. Oh, and thanks, Revis, for stopping through New England and hoisting a Lombardi with us. Was fun to watch you play in the Flying Elvis.
AFCE has gone bonkers this year, with Suh, the Buffalo acquisitions (including Rex) and now this huge deal for Revis. Makes me nuts that we lost him and Browner - really enjoyed that D last year and thought they could be really special with a year under their belts. Huge dice rolls - can you imagine how hamstrung is if Suh gets hurt or doesn't live up to the contract?
Pats have the money to bring in three good players now - DL, hopefully, and a corner (is there one, other than Cromartie?). They'll come up with something and they'll be competitive. Get Sheard and Rubin - with Easley's development, suddenly that DL is looking pretty good.
Get Harvin (I know, head case, but sometimes you gotta hope) and Bush or Helu.
The only thing that bugs me is that it might take a year or two for them to truly get past this great shakeup, and Brady doesn't have many left.
Tough day to be a Pats fan, sure, but we just got a Lombardi and we've still a pretty damned good team here. We got knocked down, but we'll get up again....
