If the Patriots had drafted Phillip Rivers, he would have won 2-3 Superbowls here.
I think his quick release and style would have meshed with Pat's system.
The Patriots sustained dominance has made it hard for me nurture grudges against NFL players, but every once in a while, a guy still manages to get under my skin. I can't stand Shannon Sharpe for example, but this thread isn't about old grudges, its about the players you have change your mind...
Port Arthur Kid, back in the city where he played his college ball.
Lets hope he makes his peeps proud and convinces the Falcons that his initials really stand for Emergency Room.
When Brady finally gave up the fight and accepted his punishment, the media narrative of "deflate gate" changed overnight. This was made shockingly clear to me last night on Thursday Night Football when Bob Costas did a complete about face and said this to a national t.v. audience.

Bill Belichick has given us a proper thread title for all the fever swamp conspiracy theories that are sure to surface after every win this season.
Rather than clutter up the rest of the forum, why don't we discuss them here?
My vote goes to Julian Edelman.
First off, I don't believe that Tom Brady can win this game for us if the defense doesn't bring it's A game. Brady and the offense need to play a relatively mistake free, and that means playing within themselves. If the game gets put on Brady's shoulder like it...
How pissed off would you be this morning?
The Ravens defense blew two 14 point leads.
They allowed Brady to throw for 367 yards and 3 touchdowns and run for another.
Their edge rushers barely made the stat sheet: Suggs, 1 tackle, 0.5 sacks.
The Raven did hold the Pats running backs to 2...
I thought this was an interesting quote about the nature of the Patriots offense from Bart Scott.
"What people don't realize is that they're not a big adjustment team," Scott said. "They're an execution team. They do what they do and don't vary from it. You recognize what they're doing, but...
Last year Tom Brady had 402 completions and 34 touchdowns.
Those receptions and touchdowns were distributed as follows:
NAME REC YDS AVG TD
Wes Welker............118.......1354.......11.5......6
Brandon Lloyd.........74.........911........12.3.......4
Rob...
Everytime he brings one out of the end zone I cringe. He doesn't seem like he is capable of knocking off a big return and he rarely takes it past the twenty, so why bother taking a chance on fumbling or getting brought down on the 10 or 15 yard line?
Maybe the coaching staff has no one more...
I guess Watson is our third receiver. I am having a hard time seeing Galloway making a impact this year. I think we are putting too much pressure on Moss/Welker for those hard yards I find myself missing the days of David Givens. We need a reliable target opposite Moss for this offense to flourish.
Anyone heard any stories from this round of draftees? All I can think of is the Laurence Maroney sans eyebrows pictures that were constantly put out there even on the Monday night football telecast, freaky looking.
Who was the player or players that you were most excited about when they were drafted that failed to live up to your expectations.
The first one I can remember was NT Mike Ruth. He was drafted out of Boston College in the mid eightees. Ruth was supposed to be so strong and I could not...
Well it worked like a charm last week so feel free to dump all your negativity right in this thread. Let the stupidity begin.
1: Belichick has never beaten the Chargers without Brady he is a
"system coach" and will be exposed today.
2: Cassel returning to the site of his...
I haven't seen much of the preseason games but the Pats seem to be giving up big chunks of yards on kickoffs and punts. Is there a big change in the kickoff and return teams that may explain whats going on? Anyone have any insights?
He's been one of my favorite WR's in the NFL and would be a terror with Brady passing to him. It will never happen but I would trade Chad Jackson and first for him in a instant. Anyone else with Boldin lust?
Blasphemy I know but after watching some of the Ravens game he didn't look very impressive. I know it's the first preseason game but I will be watching him the next few games to see how he looks. I'm hoping he can platoon with someone to keep him fresh this year and get the best out of him.
