Breer: Vrabel says the Pats will approach the offseason getting younger, cheaper, & better options

[Sciz]

Can you even name Baltimore's guards without looking them up?

Funny enough, the primary reason somebody would be able to name Baltimore’s RG is that Ravens fans are complaining about how terrible he is all the time

 

[TheRainMaker]

Well, you'd be wrong. Are you a grown man? Do you understand viewpoints outside of an echo chamber? Id never name myself something 10 million other fans already do online

I'm all for criticism and don't get offenders like some. But coming on here and saying the Pats were weaker for making the Super Bowl, dark days are ahead and now have a record of 6-6 is straight up trolling.

Sorry for your loss @Miguel

Exactly.. Calling Linderbaum a JAG is just mind-boggling. He had an off year. However, he's still much much better than Bradbury. Particularly in the run game.

I still prefer Connor McGovern because of his proven versatility and that he's better as a pass defender.. Any upgrades at LG/C will be welcome.

@Miguel very sorry to hear you lost your mother, much sympathy for you and all your family. May her memory be a blessing.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

@Miguel deeply sorry to hear you lost your mother
As to the other info you posted now I remember some of it
I thought you'd hit your Hartford fund goal; my bad
I'm in my 80s now and notice a slight loss of recall
Fortunately I feel good every day and give thanks

 

[Jim Plunkett]

Yes. You're posts are pathetically uninformed and you were WRONG. The Loss wasn't on Maye. But you ego won't allow you to accept that. Seriously. Go Troll somewhere else. You're POG.

Lol at the loss wasn't on Maye. It doesn't matter whether you think it was or not. He was young, inexperienced, injured allegedly and he sucked. You can't deny that.
Its going to be a long time before Pats are back in it. It's already been 7 years since a SB win to begin with.
What the hell does my ego have to do with it?

Your ego has everything to do with it. It's the entire reason you're here TROLLING.

The reality is that the O-LINE sucked. Putting Maye in an untenable position that even someone like Tom Brady wouldn't have been able to deal with.

It's hilarious that you yammer on about how long it's been since the Pats last SB win. Since you missed it, they went 9 years without a SB win while Brady was here. But they still went to 2 SBs during that time frame. Yes, they lost both, but they still went.

Go ahead and tell everyone the team you root for.. Or are you afraid of being exposed as a hypocrite?

No, it's not trolling. They did in fact make a pretty weak SB appearance after 7 years since last win.
You can be in denial all you want but the dark days are already here since 2018. Did they win this year? No. They are back to being just another NFL team after this second place anti climax tease.

 

[Betterthanmost]

Hearing Vrabs unfiltered assessment of the post season is that the team needs to “lift”.
That is lift weights at the gym and get stronger. He must have seen how our offense got bullied. Interesting to see how this offseason will go.

Faalele. I got this without looking it up. Just because he is so big and doesn't move all that great. And I was a fan of his when he was at Minnesota, just road grading snow plowing people. They tried him at RT (I don't know for how long but he was a big fail) before drafting the kid out of Washington.

 

[Wozzy]

Sorry, Wozzy, but this is one of your worst takes ever and not close to being reality.

A center doesn't go 42 straight games without giving up a sack if he's a JAG as you claim. You don't become an All-Pro if you're a JAG.
Can you even name Baltimore's guards without looking them up?

When Bradbury was signed, Run Blocking was supposed to be his forte. It clearly wasn't. He was arguably one of the worst run-blocking centers in the league. That's on him. You putting none of the blame for his crappy blocking onto Wilson is just ridiculous.

"One of the worst run-blocking centers in the league." is an made-up stat by you. Even the idiots at PFF say you're wrong.

And "because I say so" is evidence of nothing.

You realize the Patriots had the best overall record in the NFL and went to the Super Bowl right?

This reimagining of the team just because they lost the final game of the year is hyperbolic fan overreaction.

This is exactly correct. Bradbury was suppose to be a better run blocker but in 2025 he was far from it. I do rely on Even Lazar for quite a bit for clarification and insight. His take is that Bradbury has been one of the worse starting Centers in 2025 at run blocking.

You're literally the one spewing the BS here, Wozzy. Stop projecting.

Bradbury had a 56.2 Run Blocking grade. That rates 28th of 32 Centers who had at least 50% of 1154 snaps in 2025. Quite literally one of the worst run blocking grades. I don't need to make things up. I leave that to the likes of you spewing garbage about Linderbaum.

I know exactly what the Pats record was last year. Unlike you, I'm not deluding myself as to where the problems were with the team. You're the one literally reimaging things with hyperbolic over-reaction with your claims about Bradbury.

But.. But.. But.. I'm engaging in hyperbolic re-imaging of the team because @Wozzy says so. Forget the fact that there are ratings out there that show him (Bradbury) to be amongst the worst run-blocking centers in the league and this was talked about during the season when it was shown that he had NEGATIVE gains in both his gaps and the only other player on the team who had that was Wilson.

We believe in PFF grades now? Really?

Some good info in the Callahan article today

-Eagles asking price is not serious at this point. Still chance he is dealt and will be more than Metcalf trade (Metcalf and a 6th for #52 in the 2nd and a 7th.). Per Jeff McClane and Greg Bedard Philly is currently asking for a 1st AND 2nd Rd pick for A.J. Brown.

-Maxx Crosby is more likely than AJ Brown. a 1st and a 4th scenario though many NFL execs do not believe Raiders will trade him, if they do will be in April close to the draft.

-Internally the belief is Diggs will be back but not a guarantee
-Internally also believes Barmore will be back, other team execs say 4th round pick for Barmore and a 6th is best offer if they trade him.
-Pats likely to sign a TE and draft one: Cade Otten and Charlie Kohar are better fits than Okonkwo or Likely
-Wan'Dale Robinson considered too small by Pats
-Tonga likely gone
-Hawkins might be back some teams don't consider him starter level (personally agree he's best as a backup/spot starter)
-Gonzalez and Maye are only 2 safe players on Pats roster thus Gonzo contract will get done.
-Onwenu expected to remain with team
-Mack Hollins hurt spleen on first play of game in Baltimore and still played and had 7 catches.
-One team evaluator hoped they could upgrade fullback so Ricard or Gilliam a posibility.

LOL! You just stole their grade in another thread in a desperation attempt to defend Barmore. Unreal!

I absolutely did not. I used their STATISTIC

So you criticize another poster for using it, but then you turn around and use it for another argument?

This behavior isn't surprising given you've argued your own posts in the past.
