Small world just moved to Wylie (right on the Sachse line) from Maine. Originally from Marshfield, Ma. Hopefully will be having lots of friends and relatives coming down the first week in Feb :)

I agree with most of what has been said in the thread. I believe that the biggest issue is that the opponents quarterback looks at the film and realizes coming into the game that no one is going to be at his feet. This allows him to be confident enough to square up his shoulders and step into an...

The 1978 game at Dallas for me, even though it was a loss. During that era a game at Dallas was the biggest event I can remember as a young Pats fan. The Cowboys and Steelers, in those days, were larger than life and to see the Pats in a game at Texas stadium was huge. I still get frustrated...

It was Mike Haynes, when he was a rookie. It was on a punt return and he did the exact same thing as Jackson. Good thing they didn't cut him he went on to have an ok career :)

Re: E-mail to Bob Ryan Another good synopsis of the facts that we, on this board, have known for a long time. Don't expect anyone in the media to respond to them though. As Jim Nantz said, the meadiots have long since stopped reporting on the original story and are now reporting on the...

Re: E-mail to Bob Ryan Great Email! At this point, however, I think it is time for us to give up trying to get the meadiots to see reason. When you get right down to the base of it this story is all about money. The media discovered a gold mine with the baseball steroids scandal and have been...

Re: ** Updated: Walsh now meeting with Goodell Just an unbelievable statement by Schlereth! It just goes to show that the media has zero regard for the facts concerning this story. Every shred of evidence, every statement made by anyone involved in this refutes his conclusion. Not a single...

Great post. The real tragedy is that this is the way media behaves when it covers stories far more important than sports. It's all about what sells, and what sells is either fear or controversy. I saw a study which said that the use of words such as crisis and catastrophe, in the media, had...

Speaking of Easterbrook he just posted his new article. Have to love this gem: Of course being fine objective journalist that he is he must have forgotten to mention the fact that Rams only entered the red zone once in that game and they scored a touchdown!!:mad: I don't know what pisses...

This is just pure speculation (wow, maybe I should be a reporter :D ) but one of the things Profootballtalk mentions is that there is some question as to exactly when Walsh left the team. It seems that it may have been sometime around the Super Bowl 36 time frame. Wouldn't be interesting to...

He (Schefter) asked one of his sources why they would film a team they would not be playing again. The source said (and I'm quoting from memory) "Don't you see? They complile the DNA for every defensive coach in the league so that if they go elsewhere they have a book on him." Again, that is...

Yes, obviously I paraphrased from memory but he said this in response to a question about why they would film Green Bay, which was towards the end of the segment. Schefter said that he asked someone how it would make sense to film a team that they would not play again for years. I'm sure EEI...

I think the most interesting comment was that at least one person told him that the tape was most definitely not to be used during the game at hand. Instead, this person said that the Pats compile a book, or as he called it DNA, on every defensive coach in the league including what signals they...

Went to my first game in 1973 against the Chargers with my grandfather. I became a devoted fan during the great 1976 season when I was 13. Until then, I had like most kids of the that era been a fan of the Steelers (it was either the Steelers or the Cowboys back then) because the Pats were...

I was at the game too, I agree with the surreal atmosphere in the parking lot. I remember everybody kept saying that something special was going to happen. I vividly remember walking into the stadium and another surreal moment was looking out at the field. Everything was incredibly bright...

I have found a few games from 78 on ebay. None from 76 however, probably because VCR's were rare even in 78. I agree with most of the sentiments expressed in this thread, that era hooked me on football and the Pats. My first game was the 76 blowout of the Raiders 48-17. I will say I have watched...

I don't think that Stallworth and Branch are a valid comparision. In those cases teams are trying to intergrate one new reciever into their system. This is a much easier adjustment. With the Patriots, Brady is trying to adjust to completely new group of recievers. Even the ones who have been...

I agree 100%, when this becomes official people will think that teams can spend without limit. However, within a couple of years the market will adjust and teams will again be struggling to get under the cap. I agree that the new cap is good for the Pats when it comes to extending Seymour and...
