After reading through the various news sources and listening to sports talk, this time of year it is difficult to feel the same level of fanaticism that I felt 5 weeks ago, and I suspect it will pretty much be the same when the draft rolls around..
New York has added some very good pieces, Buffalo is adding a few and Miami spent the wad on Suh.. meanwhile our braintrust is slowly retooling this team.. not as splashy, but confident BB has a plan.
As much as I wanted them to retain Revis, that was not a reality in our Pats economic structure.. so when September comes and this team looks somewhat different(remember September '14) and the mediots wanted us to be angry, but many of us will wait for Nov. & Dec to see how all of this turns out.
We will listen to the endless sports babblers who will tell us if the Pats really wanted to they could have resigned Revis and what a heinous mistake the Pats have made. There will be those who will challenge our fanaticism and tell us how disappointed we should be, and if they have a slow start in Sept. how BB has lost his edge and may have outstayed his NE welcome, or we need a "real" general manager.
When you are a Pats fan in the BB era, you need to look at the long game.. not how championships have been won in the press in the first week of the NFL year.. somehow we will survive this free agent storm and a very good team will take the field next fall.
Stay the course fellow fans.. we will be competitive and with a little luck you never know. Have to remember that we made it to the final 4 in each of the last 4 years.. pretty incredible.
