Patriots sign ex-Colt DE/OLB John Simon

[RobertWeathers]

True. You have about 3-4 posters here who seem to just thrive on misery and never have anything good to say. Another few who are just trolls who only seem to show up when there is an issue. And a few other chicken little guys who panic at every little thing

Add it all up and its enough to whip the entire site into a frenzy.

They are insufferable. We should lower the standards for banning. On the contrary to what is said, this sight is not a bastion for free speech. Its part of the private sector. Ian has this site because he can make a couple of bucks.

The more whiny, *****y chix littles and trolls that post here makes it unappealing to the actual fans.

I wish I was Ian for a day.

I agree. Its the same group of people. They need a life.

I also notice a few guys who are very cleverly passively trolling right now. I dont need to name names but they are being watched.

You are right.
It just ruins the board. Sure it’s easy to say just ignore them but it’s hard to leave that crap there with no response.
This board has slowly turned from mostly being fans of the patriots wanting them to win to critics lying in wait for something to go wrong so they can say I told you they would suck, see they should have listened to me.

Yea I have a watch list too. I'm just flaming them. I've had it.

I think we also forget that its ok if the Pats have a mediocre season. Its not preferable but it could happen and its not the end of the world. Its sports. Yeah, TB's last years and ya gotta win but jeesh. 18 years of this. The NFL is set up so that this shouldnt happen at all much less for 18 years.

I got your back on that.

Sorry, but I don't buy that premise. Brady has shown us, time and again, that there's no real reason for this team to have a mediocre season as long as he's still at, or near, the top of his game.

 

[RobertWeathers]

I highly doubt Ian would allow a thread entitled, "Suspected & Confirmed Trolls"

Just have the legit fans post there with sample quotes from the suspects.

Then will have a poll. Banned...Yes..No.

I would like to think that. And deep down I do. Maybe the way I handle it is to just buy into this premise, so that I can take a season like that (if it happened) better?

To think people are losing their minds that Bill didn’t win six Super Bowls lol. Gruden just got 100 mill off a Super Bowl he won sixteen years ago.

 

[TBR]

He doesn't have to. Does one game represent the entire season? I should hope not.

Malcolm was benched and Philly shredded MN the prior game. RPO gave the D fits last year.

If a defense sh*ts the bed in the playoffs, they weren't for real. Bortles had one of the best games of his career in the AFCCG (only to look even better last week), followed by Nick Foles eviscerating them in the Super Bowl. Any PPG stats you want to reference from the regular season are mostly thanks to a laughable lineup of QBs.

Minnesota's defense was suffering multiple injuries from the week prior.

Would you say the 07 O was not for real?

 

[Horace's Ivories]

according to the announcer John "sets a hard edge" - nice...

 

[TBR]

Would you say the 07 O was not for real?

No. Context matters here. When the game was on the line, the offense pulled through and gave the team the lead in the Super Bowl. Didn't help that Belichick decided to forgo a 42 yard FG inside a dome.

One can't even suggest that the Patriots might, in fact, have a mediocre season without the "well actually" brigade coming at them. Your post has already been replied to with proof of that.

Is there precedent for a 1-2 start in the Brady era being a sign of a terrible season? No, not really. Did I feel way ****ing better about this team exactly 6 years ago (immediately following the ******** Flacco Game, having just dropped to 1-2)? You bet your ass.

 

[captain stone]

I don't mind the player, but he's Strictly a 3-4 OLB, and we haven't utilized a strict 3-4 since before Chandler Jones was drafted. He'll help us because he's a pro, but not much.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Pretty sure he played hockey at some point too

Don’t forget the missed FG game against Arizona.

 

[QB12]

What did you want them to do? You can’t purchase cap space.

Yeah, the Rams bought all that up. Geesh. How do they do it?

Pats shut Bortles down in the 4th qtr and allowed 20 points.

So when the Pats allowed 31 to BAL in 2014 their D was **** that year?

Minnesota's defense was suffering multiple injuries from the week prior.

Malcolm was missing as well and Foles lit them up.

If you want to use that logic, you need to see it both ways.
