If I have something to say for myself I will say it as I have done on occasion, seeing as I am a CHicago Bears fan, but because of NEM over all these years that I have known him I am a secondary fan of the Patriots, too and have joined him on several occasions at the Vine Tavern with his Pats...
From My neighbor NEM. He remembers when they moved into Schaefer Stadium, ticket prices went up from $7.50 to $8.00 for sideline seats.
They were told that half of the extra 50 cents was to put backs on all of the aluminum bench seats.
As we know, more than 30 years later, they were...
For the record, I am not the Dan he was referring to. :D
Let him go. He is a weak link at the corner position and this will allow the Pats to go and try to sign a Lucas, or a Clement, and maybe use one of their 1st round picks for another corner... and of course Eugene Wilson can move up...
No fence, just next door of apartment complex. We have known each other 14 years or so. And., he is really hurting not being able to post here . This site, and the Patriots are his life.
The Honeywell building I was in is now some sort of school. Grand Canyon College, I think.
To tell you the truth Yes I am a responsible adult and these stories he is giving me to post seem harmless. In fact he himself is harmless.
And, as I posted when I first began posting my name is Guy but I am called Sonny by my friends.
And, I do not have a computer. I am on his...
Here is the second part......As written by NEM and posted by me, for him.
As I said, it had snowed the night before and there we were, in enemy territory, running around the field with Pats flags, banners, etc.
I guess you could say that would compare to the German army, running around...
Ok, here is the story of that 1963 Patriots/Bills divisional playoff game as NEM wrote it for me to post. He wrote it in the first person so it is actually him that is telling the story.
For the first three seasons in the history of the Boston Patriots, and the American Football League, the...
NEM will be giving me many stories from the 60s today and I will retype them and post them here.
He said that one of the most memorable comes from a chartered bus trip that he arranged to Buffalo for the 1963 divisional playoff between the Bills and the Patriots.
Also, one from a game...
My next door neighbor, NEM, who has read this thread told me to tell you that he has a lot of great stories from the sixties and the old days of the Boston Patriots that he will write for me and I will post them for you here. He is not here right now but will be back this afternoon.
I would make a bid for him. He is a key addition on the corner if he can be acquired, and with him, and hopefully Samuel on the other corner, a possible first round pick at corner, and the moving of Wilson up from Safety, the corner position would be completely solidified...
If paying for...
That is true, to a point. But would you say that a little use of play action, on occasion, might have helped them out and freed Graham for more important routes, mainly on 3rd down and short, or deep in the red zone????
Granted, part of his lower production was due to the fact that they need...
You are correct, to a point.
Under Weis, he didnt have pro bowl numbers because, even then, he was used for blocking abilities,but...unlike in the past two seasons, he WAS used as a critical down, and red zone receiver in the previous TWO seasons.
in 2003 he had 38 receptions with 4...
I completely agree with you. It is yet one more case of a potentially strong offense being mishandled and shackled.
Third downs are one of the areas in which he could have been utilized to the maximum with some quick outs and also some quick inside patterns, all in the quick short 3-6 yard...
Both of those are my picks, too.
Ward is unbelievable in the red zone, especially under the goal posts.
Boldin is strong and loves crossing patterns. Great hands, great ability to leap. Not fast but has fantastic moves and knows where the seams are in the defense and has wonderful after...
Either one of them is well worth a look and would compliment Samuel very well on the other corner.
In either case, the Pats will look for another corner either in free agency or in the draft, possibly first round, to give them starting corners on both sides. And Eugene Wilson might be...
