1) there was a handshake deal
2) Bill never thought that they'd (FM/JJ) screw up as bad as they did, which...
3) forced Bill into more hands on with the offense, which...
4) exposed Bill as not that great offensively and...
5) spread him to thin.
It's not that hard to see it; it's one domino falling leading to another. I also believe that point #2 is a big foul up on Bill's part. Biggest of his career
I think Bill thought that FM and JJ were brilliant football minds, how bad could it be?Colts: Suck for Luck
Dolphins: Tank for Tua
Patriots: Bomb for BOB
Given the choice of Myers and Jon Jones OR Payne and Edmunds which two should the Pats pick? I am firmly in the Payne and Edmunds camp. Add a tall corner at #14, and a free safety in Rd 4. WR and OT for the rest of the draft.
Firstly, I am sure I am older than you. A beat down Janes Harrison and Colvin is swinging for the fences? How about the past decade?They currently have 60 people signed to the roster..
They have 4 critical free agents. Meyers, Jon Jones, DMac, and Slater. The rest are just pieces that contributed here and there.
What's BS is your understanding of the situation and your attempt to hype the negative. The Pats have "swung for the fences" talent wise on a few occasions. Maybe you're too young to remember.. Or too old. But I remember them Signing Harrison and Colvin. I remember them signing Gilmore. Stop pretending like they don't ever spend money because that's ridiculous.
As for how the Eagles put their team together, most of it was done with their drafting and the occasional FA. But they are shooting their load this year. They have a bunch of MAJOR Free agents. More than the Pats.
Eagles FAs - Epps, Bradberry, Cox, Quinn, Seumalo, Edwards, White, Gardner-Johnson, and Sanders.
They are also 1M over the caps (a pittance I know) with 55 players signed and 28M in dead money. The worst part for them is that they only have 2 players whom they can do the Salary to Bonus conversion in Darius Slay and Lane Johnson. That could net them about $21M in free cap space.
Beyond that, they don't even have a lot of room for cutting players.
I assume he meant Rodney Harrison, not James. Colvin was a good signing, no one knew he'd wreck his hip early in the season. What was it, week 2?Firstly, I am sure I am older than you. A beat down Janes Harrison and Colvin is swinging for the fences? How about the past decade?
The Eagles have a dominant team, so what if they are 1 million over the cap? They will be dominant for the next 5 years.
I am critical because I want to see meaningful improvement and not have my head stuck in the sand hoping for a 9-8 season.
Great teams take chances to get top shelf players.
I do not mind your disagreeibg with every comment.
Makes it interesting. You have a lot of football knowledge
At the time Rodney did not cost a lot of capital. He was a hone run but not sure I would categorize that as swinging for the fences.I assume he meant Rodney Harrison, not James. Colvin was a good signing, no one knew he'd wreck his hip early in the season. What was it, week 2?
Colvin was a big get, but Rodney Harrison was considered washed up before signing with the Pats. Adalius Thomas was a swinging for the fence type move in 2007 as their LB's were atrotious and badly exposed in the 2006 AFCCG with Manning throwing to every TE on the roster.At the time Rodney did not cost a lot of capital.

That and he doesn't shoot blanks or asks for money on their forum because of it. No wonder Dabuns is so angry. Dude needs to chill the **** out. World is a better place w/o his offspring.I bet the Eagles forum’s angry, amateur know-it-all (but always wrong) guy is also better than you.
64 years old. Saw pats play in Fenway Park as a kid. Saw Babe Parilli play qb and Gino Capaletti kick and Jim Nance run.Firstly, your posts say you aren't older than me.
Secondly, you clear have no idea what you're talking about
2003. Patriots signed RODNEY Harrison and Roosevelt Colvin.
2007: Patriots got Randy Moss and Wes Welker (just to name a few).
2017: Signing Gilmore
2021: Patriots went out and signed Henry, Smith, Agholor. They dropped over $150M on free agents!
Dude - I listed out all the Free Agents that the Eagles have and how little money they can free up. Did you even bother to look at the list before you responded?
Starters for them that are Free Agent:
Epps - Starting Safety
Cox - Starting DL
Hargrave - Starting DL
Seumalo - Starting LG
TJ Edwards - Starting LB
Kyzir White - 2 Down LB
Gardner-Johnson - Starting Safety
Bradberry - Starting CB
Miles Sanders - Starting RB

6 of their Defensive Starters are Free agents and the Eagles don't have jack s**t in terms of money or ability to create cap space. They aren't going to be dominant for the next 5 years. They're shooting their load this year and will have to re-tool because they don't have the money to keep all those guys. If they're able to keep more than 1, it will be a miracle.
Maybe the problem is that your idea of "meaningful improvement" is actually Pie-in-the-Sky wishful thinking. You thinking others have their head stuck in the sand while you ignoring the Eagles free agency situation is tremendously ironic.
OK. So you fit the too old to remember. Got it. Thanks for clearing that up. Does that mean you can't admit when you're wrong?64 years old. Saw pats play in Fenway Park as a kid. Saw Babe Parilli play qb and Gino Capaletti kick and Jim Nance run.
A 4th, 6th and a 7th those are not premium picks. The narrative about how much cap space and draft picks the patriots have this year is BS. They also have a ton of free agents that will be leaving, and a league average qb. Talent wise it would be great to see them swing for the fences just once.
Look how the eagles put their team together

I guess BB is a Bradyite lol.
Edit: sorry posted this in the wrong thread
It's in the the Tom retirement thread.What thread does it actually belong on?
I'm surprised by the lack of discussion about the podcast, given that there are so many on this board who make everything about Brady vs Belichick.
