Blame Jets for Moss to Pats
 

The Jets forced the Pats to take Moss:

Okay, it's a goofy article, unintentionally funny, but why is it that NY media supports the Jets, Indy media supports the Colts, etc etc, and the Boston media can't do anything but crap on the Pats?

You know that the Pats were going to be trashed in the Boston media no matter what they did.

Even the official Patriots pre-game radio show was an exercise in Pats bashing with wRONg Borgass.

Total bull**** article.

Pats weren't seeking Randy Moss. An opportunity arose which included little compensation in terms of trade demand and $ demand. You couldn't turn it down.

Pats looked upwards towards Indy, not downwards towards the Jets. Ridiculous.

Give me a Friggin Break. What a joke. BB/Pioli could care less about that team. We needed a linebacker, so we signed Thomas. After last season, it was clear that we needed WRs so we signed, Stallworth, Washington and traded for Welker and Moss is no more than a luxury, IMHO.

They flatter themselves. :rolleyes:

Wow, they certainly have an over-inflated opinion of themselves.

WOW. This guy sounds like one of the posters on THE GANGGREEN.com.

Now, I have to disagree that the Pats made their moves SOLEY to over-come the Colts. The Patriots made their moves to get better. Period. It was not relative to any ONE team. It was relative to the entire league.

Re: Blame Jets for Moss to Pats
 

That was not my intended meaning. I also believe the Pats made most of these signings to get better, but in general they look up to the Colts and not down to the Jets. I do think that the Colts' loss highlighted certain weaknesses and deficiencies which have subsequently been addressed in the offseason.

Jets did great last year. Pennington came up big [FINALLY] and they have a good [possibly great] coach that learned from the BEST. Great draft last year by addressing the line in 2006, but I'm not convinced that the 2007 draft was as impressive.

That said, they didn't dominate the Pats in any of the three games last year. They played the Pats close; the same Pats team that had Caldwell leading the receiving corp. I'm sure Jets fans are less than excited about facing Moss, Stallworth and Welker. I'm less than excited to face Thomas Jones twice a season.

Does it matter what team in the division? Last year everyone thought the Dolphins were going to the be the team coming out of the AFC East and it turned out to the be the Jets (and it was the AFC Wild Card, not East title). Its all the same... I knew one of the teams were going to be better and it happened to be the Jets over the Dolphins.

Dolphins look to be in trouble and I would be surprised if they competed for the AFC East, but that defense is explosive.

The Pats made their offseason moves with getting better than the Colts and Chargers in mind. To think anything else proves you don't follow the NFL.

The Jets? They aren't even a blip on the Pats or any other contenders radar.

Re: Blame Jets for Moss to Pats
 

Eh, I already made the point yesterday in a different thread. You'd swear the Jets didn't finish two games behind NE in the division, and didn't get soundly handled in the playoffs.

NE needs to beat the Colts, Chargers, and Broncos. The Jets are a speedbump in the road.
