It's safe to say that Bruce Armstrong and Drew Bledsoe are in the Hall of Pretty Good. How about Stanley Morgan? Among the current generation, the first HOF-caliber player to retire will be Ty Law. Again, Hall of Pretty Good. Junior Seau and Randy Moss are obvious, but he's not really a...

Is anyone else having trouble downloading Patriots Today on iTunes? While I can get it downloaded, it can't upload it to my 30GB video iPod. I have the latest version of iTunes, and I have tried converting the file to conform to the iPod. The online manual says that with podcasts, the file...

A few weeks into camp, there are several things which seem to have emerged: 1. QBs (2). Status quo. Brady and Cassell, with the shadow roster providing an emergency signing. Guitierrez to PS. 2. OL (9). Deep and strong. Probably the same 9 guys from last year. Light, Mankins, Koppen...

Here's my best shot at it: let the debate begin. Please keep in mind this is a real-time chart and subject to free agency/draft changes: QB (3): Brady, Cassell, OPEN RB (4): Maroney, Faulk, Morris, Evans WR (5): Stallworth, Caldwell, Welker, Gaffney, Brown (Jackson on PUP) TE (4): Watson...

Now that Koppen is squared away, I wanted to start a discussion on 2006 free agents. There really aren't that many of them. Many will likely retire (T. Brown, Seau, etc.) or not have a ton of free agent interest (TBC, Gay, Gardner). That leaves four "major" free agents left. I would say...

From Mike Reiss' Blog: If the Patriots win today, their overall franchise record will climb above .500 for the first time since the end of the 1968 season, when the Boston Patriots' franchise record was 60-59-9. The team is 356-356-9 entering today's game.

It may be a few days out of date and not take into effect any accelerated Seymour bonuses, but the latest PatsCap.com figure is that the Pats are $15.4 million under the cap. Any thoughts here? Why aren't we hearing about extensions?

Way, way back in the day, an NFL roster only had 45 players on it (gameday roster was only 33!) Here's a challenge for the board: if the Pats had to cut down to 45 instead of 53, how would that look? Here is my take (33 man gameday roster in bold): QB (2): Brady, Cassell RB (4): Dillon...

It's becoming more obvious to me that the breakdown of personnel on the offense will be a bit different this year than "textbook." The key to the whole thing is the versatility of Garrett Mills. Normally, we carry about 26 players on offense (24 if you factor out the kicker and the long...

I've noticed a disturbing trend on this board to resort to violations of Occam's razor. For those not familiar with the concept, it is basically the premise that, "given any situation with a question, the simplest answer is probably the correct one, all other things being equal." You'd be...

Adding to the Dog Days Posts Here... Given the success of the team the past few years, the "all time" Pats team is in need of an overhaul. Below is my crack, and let's have at it. First, a few rules: 1. Each player must have played 50% plus one of his career in a Pats uni; 2. You are...

The PatsFans.com messageboard has been quite optimistic (though this is the silly season). However, I think that this may very well be the deepest Pats team of my lifetime, and maybe the deepest team in the NFL across the board. I’m assuming a bit in post-June 1 free agency here, but I think...
