Chicken Littles... someone finds your lack of faith...

You're an idiot if you don't think for one second BB wanted Revis back and is now pissed as all hell at the Jets over this.

Agreed!! Ownership killed this. Amazing how the Kraft's always skate on issues of cheapness.
I'm still shocked that a genuine defensive game changer like Revis only got $39 mil guaranteed and the Patriots would not even come up that high. Unreal!!

You DO realize that the Patriots were in three straight AFCCGs in the three years before Revis and Browner?

And are a top 10 scoring defense every single season.

I love how we're grading the team after 7 hours and 26 minutes in the new league year.

Chicken Little tag is definitely warranted for some.

someone explain how seattle can afford lynch, avril, wright, earl thomas, kam, sherman, and jimmy graham along with wilson getting huge cash and we cant afford revis? lol i dont get it...

we just lost our best defender. no point in trying to justify this.

You do realize the Patriots have NEVER won a Super Bowl without possessing a premier cornerback.

Reiss may have been right about the Browner thing, Pats knew they lost Revis, Browner needed Revis to play his style in our defense, now we move on to maybe Chicago's defense of a few years ago, Tampa 2 with a strong pass rush.

We can add players still even though we lost Revis, I feel like a lot of people think free agency just ended, it didn't.

The thought of us going back to zone makes me puke. Man this would be 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000x worst if we didn't just win the SB.

I don't care I cant stand it . Someone on WEEI Springfield pulled the "Belichick isnt the Genius we thought him to be" card.

That team had Asante. While he's not Revis or Law, he was pretty darn good.

2004, dummy. Remember young Asante, Randall Gay, Troy Brown? Don't forget Earthwind Moreland.

He was not that good until late in the 2005 season.

4th round 2nd year Asante Samuel
And
Undrafted Rookie FA Randall Gay

I'm officially a fanboy with this post...

The man won a Super Bowl with Randall Gay and Troy Brown at corner, and he lost another by four points with Kyle Arrington, Sterling Moore, and Antwaun Molden at corner.

We're not even eight hours into the new season. Take a freakin' pill.

Anyone who thinks that the Pats are a better team today than they were yesterday is delusional. I hated the McCourty singing because I think he is grossly overated. It makes me puke that the Pats wouldn't pay Revis 48 for 3, but will pay Mccourty 45 for 5 . Brady and this team have about a three year window. The Pats have enough picks to bulk up the o line and d line. Now they have to scrabble because they lost both starting CBs! The bend but don't break defense will be back. Giving up 3 and longs will be the norm, and it will be up to Brady ( who will now be behind late round picks instead so first round picks protecting him) to compensate.

The list of BB failures in CB picks is too long to even write, Expect another reach at 32.

for AFCCG's in a row and never had the same opening day starting CB's for any of them, I am a little shocked they cut Browner but the team was still only 17th vs the pass last year with 20 million worth of starting CB's so im pretty sure the pats can pull off a middle of the pack pass defense with some up grades up front

Please.

There are too many homers on this board. All of our current players have to be feeling a lil bummed out.
They will feel better when they get their rings but repeating is gonna be a tough challenge with this current secondary.

Earthwind (and Fire) Moreland would have been a Pro Bowler had BB not cut him.

It's good to be the champs. All I gotta say.

it sucks that both Revis and browner are gone but it was going to be very hard to repeat with or without them. it takes a lot of luck to win a SB and even more to win back to back
