Basically, I'm just talking to myself here trying to make sense of the information, misinformation, and disinformation that we have been discussing since early February. I imagine that in the few days we have left this flow will only increase the volume of "the noise ". So I guess this...

I've been giving this a lot of thought lately, and decided to make myself the GM for the next 3 months and create a battle plan that will make us competitive within 2 years and enjoyable (at worst) to watch next year. FA - 1. Our own - Most of this should be credited to Phil Perry. He did...

I haven't been contributing the last several months for a few reasons. I have had to deal with some health and personal issues, and the board had become so negative and predictable. But I have been lurking and since the Pats are starting a new era, I have a overload of thoughts and opinions...

Not sure how long this one will be. There are a lot of subtleties to dissect even though many will want easy black and white answers. I know it gets tiresome, but it IS the way of the world these days. Bill will tell you that a win in the NFL should be cherished. They are hard to come by...

Get it. Phish chatter/fish chowder. No? Well, so it isn't that funny. At any rate I noticed that it's Tuesday and there isn't a Dolphin game discussion thread. Now there is.

Well I was sitting down to breakfast deciding to make my final decisions on the 5 games I was going to pick for my football pool. Actually I usually only have to pick 4 because I most always pick the Pats because I am a fan. Well we have to have he picks in by noon EST and I had 4 that I...

https://www.readoptional.com/p/which-bill-obrien-did-bill-belichick?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email I belong to a football pool, as I guess a number of people here do. We bet 5 games against the spread and divvy up the loot at the end of the regular season. I'm not much of a gambler...

I was thinking about something I THOUGHT I read about OL pass blocking effectiveness and I found it interesting enough to warrant its own thread. I find our current OL situation fascinating. Worrying but fascinating as well. On the surface, at least one deep, we could possibly have a decent...

Kind of like a Star Wars start, but it seemed fitting at the time, so I thought I'd open this year's chronicles with a quick look at what I see happening during the course of the season with a special emphasis on this year's opener. It won't be as long as usual, at least that's the way I'm...

Anyone know if you can screen the game tomorrow at Patriots.com or any other platform one can get in California? I forgot to set it before I left. Are their any fans located in Cali who have solved this dilemma.

Just saw a link on PFT that noted that the Pats have now become the betting favorites to sign Delvin Cook. It's neither here nor there, but I would like to come out in FULL favor of that idea. Not sure that's going to happen, for a lot of reasons, but IMHO adding Cook could have a more...

.....more like an oddity than eye popping news, but I just didn't know what thread to put it under, so I started a new one. At any rate it was something I caught over at Pats Pulpit and thought it was interesting when put with other facts. The blurb was about a CB who I didn't even know was...

Extra.. Extra Read all about it. Ben Volin the Boston Globe columnist FINALLY broke a story!!!!! Volin whose last big Patriot breakthrough was "Mac Jones, arrives on time to Gillette Stadium for practice.", is being credited with breaking a story NOT in Bostion, but in Buffalo (where he...

I have been reading a LOT of the usual post OTA summaries of where the Pats are at this point of the season. So since I don't work for any legitimate Patriot news organization (STILL waiting for the call, Ian ;) ), I decided to do one myself. DISCLAIMER: This is shorts and t-shirts my...

I was kind of surprised that a thread about his workout has been newsworthy enough to have his own thread. I kind of understand why. He was the 11th pick back in 2013. He's bounced around after an initial 4 year stint with LAC. So when I first saw this info on the twitter portion of the...

Wonder how the Pats were able to sign Frisker when they had 90 signed (assuming the draft picks). Well know we know. PFT just posted that RMcMillan just got put on IR. He CANNOT play this season for the Patriots, though he can play for another team if released. I had great hopes for him...

This next month is when the Pats do their best work signing FA's. I tried to look up a list of FA's that are left, but an early look I couldn't find anything current. THIS is the time where older, perhaps past their primes, BUT still solid players are available along with some XFL and USFL...

I was scanning the twitter feed today as saw one hyping a professional rugby game at Quincy's Veteran Memorial Stadium. It precipitated a lot of memories for me, this beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon. The Vet was built as a depression era WPA project in 1938. My first memory of seeing it...

Every day now I take a moment and go to PFN to use their Mock Draft simulator. It got me thinking a bit as I started to see the same names available at each pick. When I started I was convinced that we needed to pick a CB with #14, if Porter or Witherspoon was there. Even when I traded...

The former #22 pick of the Eagles chose to go to he Titans today. Dillard is an interesting guy. He clearly had first round talent going into the draft, but he "slid" to #22. While in Philly he played more like Wynn, showing signs of good play, but never consistently and was often injured...
