Patriots Pregame Thread Week 5 pregame discussion: Squish the fish @ Pats

[signbabybrady]

I dony think so State I see something more interesting brewing for the Loser.The Arc Manning Bowl even though Grandpa Archie might say there's no Snow balls chance in Hell that my Grand Son play for that crap Patriots Team.

Does Arch even start yet? Did Ewers get hurt or something? Isn't Arch a few seasons away from the draft? Or would he come out this year if he plays well?

 

[Thelonious]

I’ve thought they would draft two tackles the past two drafts, maybe third times a charm.

Good God I hope so.

Ewers injured. I expect Arch to do the full four.

This kinda occurred to me imagine if the Dolphins stink to the point of being in the running for the #1 Overall. I wouldn't be happy if Arc Manning ends up there just a thought. You don't have to convince me about those Mannings.

It must be exhausting living in constant fear about every worst-case-scenario that could possibly come up.

I think this is something we absolutely need to fix via free agency or trade. We can't leave ourselves in a situation where we are relying on rookies. That said I would also draft one too.

It must be exhausting to endure all the continual disappointment when you live in a pink-tinged world of delusion over how great everything is.

If there's a starter-level free agent available, sign him.

If there's a quality swing tackle available, sign him.

If there's a guy buried on a depth chart somewhere who has upside, trade for him.

Draft a tackle in the first round.

Draft another one on day three.

This problem needs a multi-pronged approach in the offseason, because there are too few good tackles in the world today to put all your hopes on one angle, and they need an almost complete overhaul at the position anyway.

Tackle (and OL in general) needs to be priority 1, 2, and 3 this offseason. Without it everything else gets stunted, as we're seeing this year.

Never said anything close to that. Go ahead and find any posts I've made that are positive about the current state of the team. But not worrying about Arch Manning potentially going to a division rival, on October 1st, when he's not even guaranteed to even go in this upcoming draft, isn't being "delusional over how great everything is". And if you think otherwise well, I'll say again, that must be exhausting.

Your post was unfair gotcha horseshit. Virtue always is to be found between contradictory vices. That was my point. Aristotle 101. As for your particular views, I have no idea what they are. If the shoe does not fit, so be it.

 

[Sciz]

Arch Manning is not eligible to enter the 2025 draft. 2026 at the earliest.

 

[TheRainMaker]

This is a must win game for the Pats. This Dolphins team is in bad shape right now on a short week.

Feels like yours was as well, especially since you didn't know my position. But if it came across unnecessarily sarcastic, I'll take that into consideration.

They chose what they could imo. They needed WRs and tackles. This draft they took QB and WRs. Might have gotten a right tackle in Wallace, maybe. Thats how they read the draft this past year and next. So, next year has two elite OT prospects in the top ten. Get one of those and you are in business.

Must win with a virtually invisible OL Protecting the QB I think Brissett is going to break David Carr's record for the most sacked QB sad.

Fair enough. Perhaps we are both imperfect.

Impossible! I'm sure we're just both perfect in conflicting ways

You don't think they needed a QB?

 

[mgteich]

Yes!!!!!! Remember the team saying we are going to have a much better product!!!! What a joke!! I can bet you right now some fans are already trying to sell thier season tickets.. who's going to want to fight traffic, sit in bad weather to watch a bad QB.

Let them go if 1-3 on a rebuilding team is too much for them. We had the Brady exodus, the Belichick exodus and now the bandwagon exodus. Most of us are fine with that.

A loss will show how bad the Pats really are.
