Maybe this is not a good signing and he won't make a difference. But hearing YOUR opinion, in particular, is frankly, worthless. You must have HATED Super Bowl 49.

"Negative - it will be Denver again (if Manning is still there) plus Indianapolis will probably be ahead of the Patriots....Pats will do their usual sign over the hill 30+ year old free agents and cut or IR 90% of them and then the draft will yield perhaps one guy who can make plays...."

"If Kraft wasn't so cheap they'd have another super bowl."
2/28/14:
"I say Krafty Bob sells the team before he spends $150M on player salaries....as you know, judging from interviews Krafty's content with making the semi finals and being "in contention" every season...he has his three trophies and the lemmings keep paying $50 to park, paying for the most expensive tickets in the league, while Krafty Bob pockets every last nickel and counts it just like Ebeneezer Scrooge. As long as the Pats have Brady and Belichick and Buffalo, NYJ, and Miami remain 5-8 win teams Krafty Bob knows he can stiff the fans with second rate free agents and draftees from Rutgers....because those AFC East titles mean so much..."

"You mean the Patriots, who haven't won a SB in a decade despite having the best coach and qb in the league, and who's owner routinely nickels and dimes his way to free agents, draft picks, and his own players? That team????"
8/7/2014:
"This is tough to watch...I knew brady wasn't playing but I had no idea half the other starters weren't playing either...ZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
nothing good has come out of this game."
(Ahem....That game was the first appearance - playing more than half the game - of Malcolm Butler. And anyone who actually watched that game came away knowing the kid was making the team).

"MIN 31
NE 24
Rinse, wash, repeat fom Miami game - too many jags and udfa on both lines as cassell has all day to throw, Peterson gets 120 and Patterson gets 110 & 2 td and belichick gazes upon all the flotsam and jetsam he acquired trading out of the spot where coraderrle Paterson, a game changer, was drafted...."
9/14/2014:
"The game has clearly passed belichick by...why else is the pats defense annually so horrible? ????"
10/1/2014:
"Pretty soon krafty bob is going to have the embarrassment of having his teams' games blacked out...because if u think the Pats will sell out every game next year if they finish 8-8, 9-7 (if someone thinks they're better than that I have some Florida swampland to sell ya). This team has the look of 99 second half when they couldn't protect bledsoe. A 9-7/8-8 finish will have about 10-15% nonrenewal season tickets and krafty will jave to work awfully hard to get those tix sold...maybe he'll have to resort to having rhe local broadcaster bail him like nbc did years ago when the pats had decent teams...GO PATS...oh and krafty, spend some of Jonathan's inheritance on players that can play football"

"R.e. playoffs...lets not forget the pats already have 2 conference losses and that will come into play for tie breakers. I don't see them being much better than 6-6 or 7-5 in the conference and that won't do it...if they lose Sunday they're really behind the 8 ball tiebreaker-wise, not to mention they'd now lose head to head w Kansas city and Cincinnati. .."
10/5/2014:
"Belichick has destroyed this team and I have no clue why. Releade of t Kelly makes no sense and made the team worse, trading mankins made rhe team worse, going into kc w 3 receives made the team worse...this team is full of jags and (entire offensive line) and "decent" players who lack consistent big play impact (mayo, mccourty, edelman, chandler jones), and guys who wouldn't be playing on other teams (hoomanawanui, ninkovich, chung). of The two impact players one is being used in a confounding way (revis) and the other is certainly not 100%. couple all this with a 37 year old shell shocked qb who cant throw past 10 yards and you have an at best mediocre club.
im really sick of the coach's act and head scratching decisions...they haven't won it all in 10 years amd they've gotten blown out of the playoffs the last two seasons...fix it bill or get him gone krafty.."
