Miami is a team we almost beat with 2nd and 3rd stringers in week 17 last year. Culpepper is obviously an upgrade, but I would be surprised if he put up better numbers on us than Frerotte did, given how insanely efficient he managed to be against us.
This thread and this new poster are a freakin' JOKE. Newbies shouldn't have to be screened, but this guy's making me think otherwise.

Patriotic Fervor said:What a gratuious statement!
Asleep at the switch? Whistling past the graveyard? Where do you get off coming out with stuff like that?
You think you know more than this front office? Let's see you put forth a plan for player acquisition for this team. To give you every benefit of the doubt, it doesn't even have to be comprehensive.
Just let us see something.
If you can't do that, then don't bother posting the stupid comments.
Jacky Roberts said:If the season started tomorrow, I think the Patriots would be a step behind Miami. Culpepper is injured and a lot depends on him, but with what Miami has done coupled with what Belichick hasn't done, have the Fins made the AFC East a two horse race? Are they ahead right now?
Jacky Roberts said:Do you know what "giving the impression" means? It means that it appears they are doing nothing while their competition is making great strides. Did you read the entire thing I wrote? Obviously not.
Player acquisition: Ok, sign the best kicker available (Vinatieri). How bout starting with that?

You're absolutely right: they're bottom feeders. That was great when they put together the first SB team -- they had a whole long list of guys who had been overlooked/badly coached/written off too early (many of them from the Jets). In those days, no one really saw them coming. "Oh well, Vrabel hasn't done a lot here but he'll have a chance to start in New England. Why not?" Now, though, I think it's got a lot harder.
No we were not very lucky with Starks, Brown, Beisel (jury still out on him). But it was not those signings that cost us against Denver. It was turnovers.
That begs the question, if I may say so -- the reason that they didn't give up any turn-overs was that they weren't on the field. Why was that?
last I checked none of these three lost any turnovers. We can't get good free agents every year, nobody can.
Vinatieri wants 3.5 million a year. Pats will not pay that. I don't tyhink anyone will. But if someone does they have just spent 3.5% of their cap on a kicker. Not good business. I believe they would make Adam the highest paid kicker but not at 3.5 million. Didn't they already offer to make him the highest paid kicker?
Supposedly, 3.5 million.
Anyway I will continue to shake my head at the people who cannot help themselves. You know, the ones who panic and start we are doomed threads.
I agree.
well of course, thats why the season starts in septemberJacky Roberts said:If the season started tomorrow, I think the Patriots would be a step behind Miami.

Yes, it has. But they aren't necessarily "bottom feeders". Couldn't, wouldn't, you rather say, "shrewd judges of talent"?

Because they are defensive players! I thought you knew the difference!

No, they offered him 2.5 million. No bonuses, no guaranteed money. Just 2½ mil on an essentially "make good" contract.

I agree.
Don't we all?
