It's easy, and only takes a few moments.If that's the case then he should have phucking signed Revis in the first place. BB is the best head coach in the NFL and IMO, of all time and I have 100% faith in his ability to run the Pats, but sometimes, just sometimes BB outsmarts himself in cases like this. This blows.Good. Just how I like him. If he needed a reason to not get complacent after winning #4....
for what?The whole "chicken little" thing is getting old & dumb and is rarely warranted.
And as of now, I blame Revis more than the Pats.
Reiss may have been right about the Browner thing, Pats knew they lost Revis, Browner needed Revis to play his style in our defense, now we move on to maybe Chicago's defense of a few years ago, Tampa 2 with a strong pass rush.
We can add players still even though we lost Revis, I feel like a lot of people thing free agency just ended, it didn't.
They are laughing at patriot fans, not at the SB champion who chose not to commit $21M a year to Revis and Browner, with significant guarantees.Yes, I'm sure the 31 other FOs are laughing their asses off at the team that just won the Lombardi.
What If i told you, keeping superbowl winning caliber players was hard.
When was the last time Patriots have a "strong pass rush"? Patriots have been weakened in the Secondary, RBs, and DL. That is alot to recover...
If that's the case then he should have phucking signed in the first place. I love BB as the head coach and have almost 100% faith in his ability to run the Pats, but sometimes, just sometimes BB outsmarts himself in cases like this. This blows.
Sure they'll be fine, but with Brady at the helm and the ripe age of 38 going into the 2015 season, anything short of a Superbowl is a disappointment. Call me spoiled, but seriously, with Brady right now and a defense like last season they can seriously win another SB and IMO those chances have taken a big hit with the loss of Revis and Browner.I don't like that he is leaving but what gets me is that anyone here thinks they know more about putting together a team than the professionals like BB. If you know so much then get a job doing it.
I have faith, yeh it hurts but they will be fine, at the end of the day the NFL wants offense not defense and they created the rules to be sure offense wins, after all our offense won the SB, 14 points in 11 minutes against the best defense in the league, didn't work out so good for seattle.
BB and Kraft know a hell of a lot more about building a team than anyone on this forum.
He was one guy demanding about 10-12% of the cap space. We're all glad that he fit in for last year and that they won. I don't think it's much of a stretch to see how it's difficult to justify that type of expense long term. The Pats almost never have, except for Brady, who has also basically let them rework his contract at will for whatever flexibility they are seeking that year. You hope the guy (DR), in addition to playing well and producing, will see the value in winning and being part of a winning organization, that maybe he'd stay for a bit less long-term because of it...he didn't.

I disagree. Our defense is putrid. Had trouble stopping the run, and Wilfork is gone. And our new starting CBs are Arrington and Dennard (or Butler). Terrible laughable defense. Maybe we sign Harvin and Helu, and try to win every game 42-35. Defense wins championships.Not happy with the events of today, but I have faith that Belichick will figure out a way to overcome this.
I still think the Pats are the favorites in the AFC, but they obviously need to make some moves if they want to go back to back Super Bowls.

It's entirely possible that Revis really, simply does see the Jets as home, that the possibility of at some point contributing to a single winning team there is more important to him than winning 5 straight SBs with NE.
Based on his previous contract negotiations with the Jets that seems unlikely...but it's possible, especially after being gone for a few years.
But whatever the case, **** him, he's gone. Thanks for the memories and now TB knows more than ever about him so he can smoke him 2x a year for the rest of his career. Just another guy for Gronk to throw out of the club.
