OK, there has been a lot of disagreement regarding the Pats trading out of the #3 spot for a haul or stay put and draft a QB. I am on the side of those who think trading down should be considered. Others have suggested that that would mean the Pats would have to trade a king’s ransom in the...

Hi all, this may seem like a strange question, but I have been away for over two years and am trying to get back up to speed. When the Pats drafted Stidham I remember the discussions and there seemed to be a lot of reasons to be optimistic about his future. So, did he get his chance and blow...

Now that SB LI is in the books and was such an enjoyable game for the ages, it might be good to have a thread where we can list those who deserve to share in this victory celebration, due to their support through all of the BS that the NFL* and the Omissioner threw at us. Certainly we have...

I was listening to a sports talk radio show yesterday, think it was Rich Eisen, and they mentioned two very interesting coincidences from the Pats' last two Superbowl wins, involving the game turning plays. Against Seattle, when Wilson threw the pass from the one yard line, it was the 108th...

OK, fair warning, the link is from ESPN. Dikembe Mutombo congratulates 76ers on lottery ... before it begins "Yes, that's right -- the former All-Star center congratulated one of his former teams, the Philadelphia 76ers, on winning this year's lottery. The only problem? He sent out the tweet...

In looking back at Defamegate, the concensus is that it was instigated, at least in part, because some owners felt the Pats hadn't been hobbled, er I mean punished enough during CameraPlacementGate. Some felt the Pats should have lost the higher of the 1st round pick, which they had traded for...

Colts drop Whalen from IR I remember reading a Colts fan's comments somewhere after the punt bumble that he thought that if the Pats ever had a chance to get Whalen they should jump on it as he could be a Pats-type slot receiver tailor -made for their offense. I am not familiar enough with his...

I don't like to start new threads if I can find a related thread to add my points to, but this is a bit of a different take on the Wells Report. During the wait for the release of the report, we have been discussing who may have been involved in the whole affair and what levels were they...

OK, I had this idea to float as something a bit different from the other Deflategate threads. If I am all wet this thread can die the normal message board death without cluttering up other threads, but right now I am having trouble drumming up enthusiasm for the game. I expect that to change and...

I debated starting this thread since I can come up with more than 5 up and not many individuals down; but I'm sure others saw things that I didn't. I'll limit myself to five in each case in any event. Up 1) Shane Vereen - As alluded to post-game by Brady, losing Gronk and Woody early caused...

Rookie right guard David DeCastro of Pittsburgh Steelers hurts knee against Buffalo Bills - ESPN " ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Steelers rookie right guard David DeCastro was carted off the field after hurting his right knee early into Pittsburgh's 38-7 win over the Buffalo Bills on Saturday night...

I didn't see a thread which seemed to be a place for general NFL news, so I went ahead and started this one. I'm not sure how the mods want news like this presented, and they can merge or move as they deem necessary, but I thought one thread with news about other teams may be useful here. With...

Well, according to Pro Football Weekly that is the case. http://www.profootballweekly.com/PFW/The+Way+We+Hear+It/default.htm "Our sources in New England tell us that DRE Richard Seymour isn’t yet fully healed from a knee injury that forced him to miss the first seven weeks of the season...

In another thread poster "Speed" said " . Now I didn't want to comment on this there as it would have hijacked the thread, but it is something I have been thinking about. This season has been a big "Eff U" to the NFL and the media. The media with the constant harping on the whole undefeated...

....for the Pats is NOT the Indy-SD game, it is the SF at Seattle game Monday night. As bad as the 49ers have been, they are only two games behind Seattle and one game behind Arizona. Someone from this putrid NFC West will be going to the playoffs, and only Seattle (4-4) and Arizona (3-5) can...

I found this thread on Extremeskins and thought it was worth sharing. It's always good to get a perspective from fans of different teams, particularly knowledgeable fans like the Redskins fans. The basis of the thread is an article about the Pats posted on the LA Times. I could have just posted...

This has nothing to do with this week's games, but since a lot of Skins fans are visiting this week it is a good time to ask this. The year after Bill Polian got his new emphasis on pass interference into the rules, there were a lot of instances when teams would throw up a pass with less hopes...
