After Gronk went down with his knee bruise I immediately cussed Belichick for letting Ben Watson leave
After seeing OTG getting this distraught over the reigning Super Bowl Champion, AFC first place Patriots, I can't help but wonder how he/she handled those 1 and 2 win seasons of the early 1990s

3rd in points, 3rd in yards.
Yeah, they're ****ing terrible.
Not to tout my own horn, but I clearly remember in the 2014 offseason starting a thread advocating we extend Vereen since we'd be "buying low." It seemed we all knew he was solid but injuries had kept his market value really low. I was shocked at how many people disagreed with me, arguing that he should need to prove his durability and full-year production first. Of course, that is exactly what I said would cause him to leave, since we don't pay a lot for those guys. I was thinking maybe extending him for somewhere in the $2-2.5M range over 3-4 years and feared a good season from him would push him up to $4-5M. That's exactly what happened, unfortunately.
On the other hand, Dion Lewis was better than Vereen before the injury, and White is looking decent out there, too.
It amazes me how many people wanted to "buy low" on Vereen without any regard for his desire to be bought low. I don't remember if there were any reports of whether he was approached about an extension, but if so then he bet on himself and won. I can't blame a guy for doing that.
I agree. With who? If we win the Super Bowl this will be Brady's defining year. Lost all of his receivers at some point for multiple games, down to a 3rd and 4th string RB and maybe a washout to save the day. It would be truly the cherry on top.
OTG, I dig your style, but sometimes you just snap, cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of bat-**** insanity.
