I'm finally back, what did I miss?

By now the "Fire Belichick and Cut Brady" knee jerks should be over. The people focused on the past should have realized that what is done is done. Yeah, pity about the Saxons in 1066, if you want to discuss history. Is there actual stuff or is the panic on going?

Panic is ongoing and showing no signs of slowing down. The Bengals game hasn't been discussed.

There's nothing to say about the bengals game.....other than fix everything

Belichick is on to Cincinnati. PatsFans is not.

The Pats went to the AFCC last year.

They've won 3 Super Bowls too.

Not a heck of a lot other than a huge love feast for Belichick and McDaniels. I hope they don't read this board because they might get too complacent with this overwhelmingly positive approval rating from Patriots' Nation.

You missed a lot of crying. A lot of whining. Stay away until Sunday night when they take that dub.

It will get much worse after sunday - not that i don't think the team won't turn things around, but trying to win agast a good team in a short week may be tough

Ian's cracking the whip on people who start new threads with posts that contain phrases like "fire Belichick" and "cut Brady." You may be next. I'd give you a little more background, but my hair's on fire and I really ought to get back to running around the neighborhood screaming.

Let's see... you've missed a lot of binky threads for the offensive line prowess, a few Belichick/GM commemorative threads, and of course, the Josh McDaniels play calling genius threads...

Fellow posters, feel free to point out the others I have forgotten to point out during this love-fest of all things Patriots through the first quarter of the season.

Tom Brady should be offensive general manager. Belichick is in steep decline.

KC conceded. The Pats are 4-0 and Super Bowl favorites. The fans love TB and still "in BB we trust", McD is nominated OC of the year. Oh yea, Tyms is a hall of fame reciever.

Thanks for the info.
Oh, I forgot the counter post where Belichick and Brady cure cancer and stuff.

I must be old. I've seen 1-15. I've seen 2-14...twice. I remember when the Patriots were on strike - as the rest of the league was OK.

Part of me wonders if this is actually a good thing to make the whipper snappers appreciate the past decade and a half. (Heck, 2 and a half decades.) Not bad for one loss.

I'll check in on Monday and skip the panic.

We're cataloging every poor decision made by Bill Belichick since 2000, including drafts picks made and missed, poor play calls, lousy game plans, far too rigid enforcement of player discipline, refusal to hire competent assistants, abuse of the press, arrogance, terrible hygiene, grumpy demeanor, vindictiveness, deplorable manners, sartorial malpractice and latent radioactivity.

I'm not sure, but I think when we get to Adrian Klemm, we're done.

I'm just glad Grier drafted Brady

There's an unconfirmed report that Deus gave some lip to PatsNutMe so Ian benched him. I emphasize unconfirmed but wanted to pass it along anyway.

The most annoying thing is that it's like you're the crazy one if you don't think Brady's declined. Not sure what he is supposed to do with this supporting cast. If he had healthy Gronk, Welker, Hernandez, Woodhead, Scarnechhia, Mankins, good-Solder and good-Vollmer, he would look the same as 2010/2011/2012.

What did you miss?

Flutie crossed the picket line. That wasn't so bad. And seats were readily available and cheap during that time. There were virtually no rules in the stands. It wasn't necessarily bad it was just different.

I don't think I've seen anyone being 100% serious about firing Belichick or cutting Brady.

As for firing McDaniels... I think that's a legitimate complaint.
