Just foud out I will be in Burlington on Sunday, September 14. Vikes game. 1 PM start. Does anyone have thoughts on the best place or places to watch the Pats? I realize that I'm a bit early to be so asking. But screw it; as an obsessed Pats fan, I want the info if i's out there for the...

My friend said it was OK that Gronk didn't play because he should and play in games that MATTER. THEY ALL FREAKING MATTER. What should I do with this friend?

For me, it's Tom Curran and Mike Reiss. I also like Gerry Callahan's take on the Pats, believe it or not. I have no use for Manza Young, Guerigan, Borges, Volin or anyone else at the Globe. Chris Price at WEEI seems good but I rarely check that out. Paul Perrillo and Andy Hart at the...

1. When Dobson went down, I hoped that would lead BB to sign someone like Collie. True, he's a hard hit away from being knocked out again, but he strikes me as the kind of smart and reasonably fast WR who will thrive with Our Tom. 2. Savor Our Tom every single day. We're never going to see...

1. Does it bother you that Jerod Mayo never seems to make a big play? He's steady and always makes a lot of tackles. But I can't recall a huge stick, a pick or a fumble recovery in a while. Seems like players who make a lot of coin and are generally well regarded should sometimes make special...

There should be a big group going to this one. I am going with DS Jr. Maybe some kind of meet up is in order.....

I had assumed we'd see Gronk in Week 4. Now it seems less likely. Let's use this thread as a place to discuss IF/WHEN we will see him. I'd like to be able to go here and get the latest..... And I'd appreciate good news!

During training camp there was much roster bubble discussion about Brandon Bolden. I believed then, as now, that he has the potential to be a big contributor to this team. He's big, fast and tough, and he can both run and catch passes. Now yesterday was nice, and an affirmation of my...

1. Ridley and Vereen are obvious keepers. 2. Blount showed enough and is a big back with some good upside. He stays. 3. They need better KR than they've gotten and Leon can run a bit. He stays too. 4. Bolden averaged almost 5 yards a carry last year and was becoming a mainstay in the RB...

Let's assume that Gronk will NOT be "fine" for the sake of discussion. Let's further assume that BB will find out in the next week or so that Gronk will not be ready on Day 1 and could be out for a while thereafter. To be clear, these are just assumptions. They are not predictions...

Is it me or was that a HORRENDOUS, EPIC terrible non-call? I have friends telling me that you need to let the players play and the refs made the right decision. That the Ravens outplayed them and the Niners play calling on the last drive was bad, so it was kind of OK that the zebra swallowed...

Assuming you're like most folks on this board and will be rooting either against the Ravens or for the Niners or both, are you willing to watch the game with Ravens fans? Do you like the mixed crowd experience? I think most people aren't that particular about this and will go with the...

OK, I get it, the site needs revenue. But this is PAINFUL. What's next? Pictures of kids in Africa wearing Pats SB 42 Champions shirts?

I realize that replacing Matt Patricia isn't the hottest of topics, but here's why I think the Pats should do this: 1. Have you ever read or heard anyone say that Matt Patricia is a great coordinator? I assume the answer is no. There's no positive buzz about this guy. Brady can't say...

Ron Borges actually had a good premise in this morning's column. He posited that losing doesn't equal failure. He's right. If you want failure, look at the damn Jets. But then Ronny does what everyone, including Tom and many Pats fans, does: He calls out Pats fans for being spoiled. It's...

Bob Ryan wrote a column in yesterday's Globe about the Pats needing a post-SpyGate Lombardi to cement things for Bill (and Tom). When I watch some of Bill's play calling in playoff losses, and I see Tom look just a bit off, I wonder if they get a little yippy or tight when everything is on...

I was stunned that they didn't use Shane Vereen more. There were a bunch of coaching decisions that bothered me but the decision to not make Vereen a point of emphasis in the offense really amazed me. Vereen was great against the Texans, he's more athletic than Woody and Gronk was out...

There will be a ton of Ravens fans there. Pats fans at the game: Please be as loud as you ever have been and make every effort to get those around you to be loud! I was there last year and Ravens fans were everywhere, and there will be even more this year. In short, shut those Ravens...

I need to know. Are you also going out of your skull in anticipation of this game? I don't go more than five minutes without thinking about it. And this has nothing to do with confidence level as I am extremely confident. I just can't wait for this game to happen and it's WAY BEYOND...

1. Slowest week ever. 2. Do you find yourself wanting this game and this Lombardi more than you've wanted anything in sports in a long time? That's where I am. I identify with this team, Tommy and Bill so much and so hate the Ravens. MUST WIN. 3. I think Vegas has it right. It's...
