I think Deus is an egotistical bully and a condescending hypocrite of the worst kind but he knows 1000x the football than Borges does. Borges is just not as intelligent as the Patsfans "Wrath of God".
I know there was late night drama, but I didn't find myself tired out at all by the Browner signing.I won't go so far as to say that Bill blew it with the CB signings.. I know he didn't, though I am weary of the Browner signing.
I agree they do need to address the inside pass rush but I love the signing of Revis and Browner and as much as we talk about Denver the colts who throw for over 330 yards vs the pats with Talib in there for a full game now have three potential #1 WR's in T. Y. Hilton, Reggie Wayne and Hakeem Nicks so the pats need it good DB's
Don't get me wrong, I love the signings, but again, if QBs have all day to throw, they'll eventually find a matchup to exploit.
I would love to see Collins used more as an edge rusher. He seems to have the athleticism and strength to give tackles a hard time.
As DaBruinz mentioned, getting one of the FA inside guys like Arthur Jones would have been great.
Don't know if OP is serious about blowing cornerback signings but Bill might be back on his obsessive hunt for all the Brandons in the NFL…
Brandon Browner
Brandon Lafell
How many other Brandons have we had…
Brandon Tate
Brandon Spikes
Brandon Meriweather
Any I am missing?
Remember the days when Bruschi and Harrison were blitzing with relative abandon? Well, get ready to see that from guys like Mayo and whoever is playing safety with McCourty. It won't be Blitzburg, but the blitzes are a'comin'.

Speaking of Borges, has anyone seen how he is losing it on his Twitter account this week. He is even more douchey than usually is:

I think he panicked and reacted to the Broncos free agent signings all wrong. Paying top dollar for a defensive backfield without being able to create consistent pressure on QBs is like throwing good money after bad. I'm serious, find me one elite defensive backfield that doesn't have a great defensive line in front of it!
Powerful defensive lines are the foundation you build on. With them everyone behind them look better, without them everyone looks worse. Conversely the opposite is also true but not if not to the same extent. Lines are your first wave of attack and if they are good those 3-4 defensive line players can make 7-8 defensive backfield players jobs easier. Or you can bust a nut on two corners who will make 3-4 defensive line players job slightly easier on coverage sacks.
We had a chance to nab some great defensive ends in this years wild free agency to create a dominant pass rush that we've been lacking. But of course our lousy defensive backfield all these years has nothing to do with opposing QBs having all day to play toss with their receivers.... You'd think BB would learn how he won his superbowls when coaching in NY and why he lost them these last two times against NY.
Clearly this had nothing to do with football and everything to do with Brandin'.
P.S., and sorry if this has been said before... but you know what this looks like to me? Looks like Bill neutralizing Peyton Manning.
Sure it works on all other QBs too. But who's Bill out to beat right now? Who's out there we look like we can't beat? Yeah same old Seyton Manning, different horse, same forehead.
It's nice seeing Manning Shadenface courtesy of the Seattle Seahawks. But I want to see it (again) courtesy of the New England Patriots, his traditional and rightful tormentors.
You're absolutely right. We should have stuck with talents like: Phillip Adams, Antwaun Molden, Sterling Moore, Leigh Bodden, Terrence Wheatley, Darius Butler, Johnathan Wilhite, Glass-IR-Dowling, Malcolm Williams, Derrick Martin, Marquice Cole, Mike Richardson, Lewis Sanders, Deltha O'Neal and Jason Webster.
Forgive us for wanting competent play from DB's that hasn't been seen since the dynasty days. what's even more sad is the above mentioned players are just the corners that have played.
