I haven't read this entire thread, but to me, this is a complete non-issue. Even if Nick Caserio leaves, it'll be business as usual for the Pats. So many coordinators, staff members, etc, have left. Lombardi trophies are continuing to pile up. No one is irreplaceable except BB (IMHO). When...

I don't think Bill will let Tom go for the next 2-3 years. I think he'll probably try to trade Jimmy for a king's ransom, and then spend another 3rd rounder next year on another potential QB prospect.

After seeing that Mike Shanahan was fired yesterday, there are very few "coach for life" anymore in the NFL. I think Belichick is practically the only one now. Tony Dungy may be similar, but the Colts already have a succession plan, and Dungy has said he doesn't want to coach much longer. The...

I live in the SFBay area, and I'm a pats fan also. On another note, I haven't visited this forum in a while and lotsa changes. :-p Not sure I like the minimum post count before you can post a new thread.

This is a bit off-topic for the Super Bowl, but I've been reading some of the comments going on in San Diego. Basically, LT is getting completely crucified these days for not playing on a strained MCL especially when compared to Rivers playing with a torn ACL. I've always thought of San Diego...

I know I'm completely nitpicking here, but the DB's could be better. Frankly speaking I don't see the Pats completely shutting down the Colts. And I wouldn't trust my life on the K. If they need to make a 45yd FG to win a playoff game.... Of course, if the offense keeps scoring TD's and...

Trying to move from Camera-Gate, what do you think about re-signing Randy Moss and what it will take? I believe he only has a 1 year contract with the team, and he looks terrific. I can see this as something similar to what Corey Dillon did, but even better. I'm thinking 3 year extension...

I think the NFL will make an example out of the Patriots, so the punishment won't fit the crime. Unfortunately, I'm thinking about something on the lines of the punishment that the Minnesota Timberwolves received when they had a secret agreement to sign Joe Smith, and lost 3 1st round draft...

The fact of the matter is that the Pats haven't been as active in Free Agency this year as they have in the past. Last year, they picked up Flutie, Terrell, and Starks. The year before, Dillon. The year before Harrison. The year before Colvin. There was usually always one big name to excite...

I don't think we're cutting Dillon because we have tons of cap space, and even if his best years are behind him, he's a good insurance policy if we draft a rookie RB. Next year, however, Corey's in big trouble.

As much as people hate the Colts on this board, they have to be a contender. C'mon people, if they weren't a contender, posters wouldn't be knashing their teeth that AV went to them. I know everyone thinks Manning is going to choke again, but even Denver was a pseudo-contender here even w/...

Not all Pats who leave NE are treated like the enemy. I think most fans actually understand it when a Patriot goes to Cleveland, NYJ, or even Dallas because there are former Pats coaches there. So I seriously don't see anyone booing Willie, even if he sacks Brady. He'd be just like a buddy...

I know I'm in the extreme minority here, but I actually favor a Vanderjerk signing. Now that the Colts have signed AV, I think Vanderjerk will be extremely motivated to put in a good season for the Pats.

BTW, anyone know if we'll get compensatory draft picks for these FA's we're losing? Maybe AV will rate a 3rd rounder.

Frankly, I see no problem with flaming Viniateri. He went to the Colts, a huge rival, and it didn't look like he wanted to come back to NE. Gimme a break about AV not making much money over his career. I'm sure he's been the best paid kicker in NFL history over his career. For those of you...
