Reading this thread has convinced me that since all the pink hats have taken over Red Sox Nation, the Felllowship of the Miserable have all jumped ship and become Patriots fans.
I have never seen so much complaining and player bashing on this site. Even when this team couldn't win home games and looked really shaky out of the gate in 2009, people weren't bashing this team as much. Two wins with double digit margin of victories in both and Brady off to a historic year and all people want to do is bash Taylor Price, Albert Haynesworth, Chad Ochocinco, and Brandon Spikes.
Price is not a bust at this point and he is certainly not Chad Jackson Jr. as one poster claims. Jackson was a high second rounder that the Pats traded up for and was considered one of the best WRs in the draft. Price was a late 3rd rounder who people thought had tons of upside, but was a project. Right now Price has a problem getting on the active roster because Branch and Welker are too good, Edelman is the return guy, and Slater is the gunner. At this point, only Ochochinco would be the option to be deactivated and Belichick isn't going to do that at this point.
As for Hynesworth, you can't blame anyone for missing one or two games. More than that without a significant injury and then you can question the guy. I agree with the sentiment that there are a lot of people here who want the guy to fail just so they can biatch about it.
I am beginning to believe that there are too many "fans" here who deep down inside want the team to fail because they get more pleasure in biatching about this team than being able to enjoy their success. That was a large number of Red Sox fans before 2004. They enjoyed the idea of biatching about the curse than celebrating the World Series win.
But now you're using numbers in a different way, to indicate roles in the offense.
