On to 2016: Next Year's New England Patriots

CISGS · Jan 24, 2016

Well, its never too early.

I cannot wait for Solder, Lewis, and some free agents to be in New England next year.

We really do have an AMAZING team for next season, as long as we can stay relatively healthy.

Lost 1st round draft pick is all I'm thinking about right now for the 2016 season. Goodell can go to ****.

Its too early. In BB we trust, but he damaged the trust this year in the strangest ways

****ing kill me. That's how I feel.

Solder and Lewis would not have helped that much today. Even if we had won it would be tough against this carolina team. the interior O-line is terrible.

VectorPrime · Jan 24, 2016

Our defense is going to be AWESOME next season. Easley coming back. Brown in his 2nd year. Butler is a legit #1 corner. Hightower and Collins fully healthy. Sheard and Jones coming off the edge. Nink doing whatever it is he does so well. Chung has discovered how to be good. Get a corner to replace Ryan and its amazing.

On offense we need a veteran guard and a real running back to complement Dion Lewis. Solder is coming back. Also replace Lafell with anyone, I dont care who.

We are going to be fine next year. Clear AFC favorites

You can't assume anything.. They were dominant then fell apart and coughed up HFA then coughed up a chance to come back in this game. We were as good to begin a season as we ever will be and did not get it done. Next year better coaching decisions is our greatest need.

EwanSellars · Jan 24, 2016

I wouldn't discredit Ryan but a solid option to be another 2/3 CB would be nice. We need a solid Guard Tre Jackson is going to be good and so is Mason but a really good guard for 1-2 years is what we need. I'd love for us to try and sign one of the RB's likely to get cut like Arian, Marshawn, Forte all depending on if they actually leave and what they are asking for. Or draft a RB fairly high

We were BY FAR the most injured team in the league this year. If we were merely average with injuries we'd have been a different roster. I don't think its unreasonable to expect average next year.

FreeCourtroomBrady · Jan 24, 2016

Lewis is the type of player we really needed, even though White was serviceable. The problem with Lewis is he too likely to miss the playoffs with an injury next year. He's too prone. At least that will keep his price down. Solder back will be huge. Getting our bargain bin O-line this big boy experience can only help too. I think I'm off to the liquor store.

Gronkowski123 · Jan 24, 2016

first thing im thinking about is that ridiculous appeal in march. god forbid the nfl wins...

I see our Guard situation similar to our LB situation back in 2013...

Collins was a rookie and Hightower was having a hard time adjusting. They went thru their growing pains and look at them now...

Same with Mason and Jackson. These growing pains will make them better in the future...Just sucks now

BennyBledsoe · Jan 24, 2016

I would start preparing replacements for Solder and Vollmer immediately. Cannon can't do it. Fleming can't do it. Spend that second round pick on a new tackle. Preferably one without an injury history. I know we've had some degree of luck taking on risks like that but...

BlueThunder · Jan 24, 2016

And please dump Cannon....

I think LaFell may have already been replaced by Martin. I saw Martin out there plenty and don't recall seeing LaFell once.

Yeah I hear you. I think having Jackson today would've helped somewhat. I would like a veteran guard on a short term deal if possible, though.

Endzone play where Gronk was held. He was on the left or Gronk's right

injury excuse is for losers. we had our weapons in the lineup today and look what happened.

Makes sense to use his height there in that situation. Regardless, I think he's been passed on the depth chart. Don't know if that means he's gone next year or not, though.

The entire o line is terrible.
