Sciz said:

At 21-0, I compared the Pats to the NFL's legal team in court Wednesday. I'd like to officially retract that observation at this time.

Isn't there a "you can't retract a post before 6 months" rule?

One? Please there will be 5 or more.

I just got back home. Looks like Jimmy played well and from what I am seeing in this thread, Harper as well.

Any significant injuries?

That would mean that Felger, Shaughnessy, Adam, Volin and Mazz all have accounts on this thread.

My eight year old son is jumping around as if we just won the super bowl.

God it must be nice to be 8.

How do you like the o line?

You've got to have an eight-year-old's enthusiasm in life...or life's going to suck, HARD.

This was a mostly rookie O line. They need work. But it is expected.

Not worried yet.

You must have missed the season that Matt Cassel took over for Brady when he was hurt. The trade Brady Discussions were rampant in here. They were disgusting. I expect everyone who posted in that thread to deny it. They will. They did it then and they will do it now. Sad when your own fan base can't wait for you to be gone every time a new shiny toy shows up.

Brees lit up the Patriots defense, completing eight of his 10 pass attempts for 159 yards and two touchdown strikes. The performance Brees turned in was good enough for a perfect 158.3 passer rating.

So who's your deep threaten the roster if you put Harper in instead of Dobson? This team needs someone who can take the top off. Gibson is a decent LaFell backup and can block in the running game and Harper is similar in terms of role to Amendola. I think the WR roster needs some balance personally.

Note: I've never been a Dobson fan so it's not like I'm clinging on to a guy I liked.

You're absolutely right Mike.

Nice win pats, really impressed by harper, MB and lewis. Solder get some more sleep

I will say that I'm not opposed to keeping Harper over Amendola dependent on contract situation.

WOW! You realize that we have DA for peanuts this year. And you want to think about replacing one of our most clutch playoff players with a rookie who has never taken a snap in the NFL.

????????

Improvement is needed, but it was mostly 2nd and 3rd stringers in there...getting Mathis would really help.

Griffen looked pretty good for a backup ... confident and quick decisions.
