Yep. Unfortunately, *****ing about it doesn't make the problem go away. Neither does crying about me *****ing about it. Maybe we should just use this message board as a verbal *********** instead of it's intended use (which is to post our thoughts about the team)? Or maybe you prefer some scintillating Deflategate discussion about the same topic with the same griping pounded into the ground 1,801 times? Either way, feel free to ignore me if you don't like it, champ. I promise I won't lose any sleep over it.
I don't put anyone on ignore, much less posters I respect. If you were one of the trolls, I wouldn't have even commented.
I think it's inaccurate to fret about the secondary. Your worry is with the corners. Devin McCourty is a tremendous safety, and by he alone safety is simply not a weakness but rather a strength. I know you don't like Jordan Richards, but there is simply no way they are worse at safety than last season, and there's no way that position is not one to be pretty comfortable with as long as DMc is healthy.
As for the corners, of course it's a drag that Revis is gone. But gone he is, and it appears he had no intent of taking anything less than really stupid money. Lucky for him, he found a really stupid team. As for Browner, I think he was a luxury that could only be afforded if Revis were around to allow constant over the top help. With regards to the draft, I can understand frustration about not taking a corner earlier, but perhaps Bill and Nick simply didn't rate any of the corners available as very good (I tend to agree, I thought it was a weak class and the intriguing ones were already gone by 32).
With regards to Deflategate discussion, I have maybe commented a total of five times on any of it. I'm not out here fanning the flames. I read the discussion of the interesting threads but don't feel a need to beat dead horses.
As for circle jerking, isn't me disagreeing with you (about football no less) the exact opposite of a Deflategate ***********? I fail to see how that fits me, other than searching for a convenient way to huff and puff.
And as for Bateman, well I cannot lie, that's one of my favorite films, so even if there is little relevance in that GIF to our discussion (are ANY of the posters here important to you? Certainly none are to me, it's a message board), I'm just happy to see that glorious film being referenced. That's one of my favorite scenes, I think the girlfriend scenes are basically my favorite in the whole movie.
Didn't mean any offense slugger, I like your posts. I just think this is sticking in your craw quite a bit, when there's nothing that can be done. Their front seven is in my opinion across the board better than last year, Wilfork's leadership (not play) being the only minus and a whole lot of new depth being a bunch of plusses. I am holding out hope for a trade for a proven vet, I know I've been trying to speculate on who that may be. But failing that, there have been recent teams with bad secondaries that have won lots of games, and I don't consider the Pats to have a weakness at SECONDARY, but rather at CORNER. Hope that clarifies. I'm not a flamethrower and don't like getting into pissing matches on the board, so I attempt to clarify my position whenever anyone bristles.
