Thanks Ken. I always look forward to your posts. 1. One thing you did not mention, which I think is important, is that BB is ALSO looking at next year's need when drafting this year. Drafting better back up DE's (Flowers, Grissom) for when Ninko and Sheard and even Chandler Jones contracts...

I don't understand either. Revis for 13m$ makes sense to me for 3 years

Honestly, I was/am hoping that BB got new religion about having top corners in the new NFL. I think most of the posters in this forum did. And I look back on not signing Asante Samuel as the old way of thinking. I was and am hoping he gets this deal done somehow given it's importance. That...

We don't know what has really been discussed. It seems clear that NEP are letting Revis see what the market is, while keeping an open dialog to potentially match it. If you were Revis, it would be a smart strategy so far -- don't agree to anything yet, keep letting more teams get in on the...

lets not kid ourselves. there is no Revis replacement. i understand he could still resign with us! but if he is gone, that is a very big loss for us. no two ways about it. i would rather lose anyone except TFB

unfortunately, the reason crap shows like Felger and Mazz arise and flourish is because people listen to them. its like the Rabid Right talk radio, where people love to get SO worked up about the president or Hillary. same phenomenon - which is really weird. why enjoy getting pissed off -...

They are on a 5 game winning streak, including some tough road wins. Their only losses have been to STL, SD, KC, DAL They now hold HFA throughout the playoffs. They have a tough D and Mobile QB. Don't they look like the real thing again, now that it's December? Pick your poison from the NFC...

As I was getting ready for the tailgate and game this morning, I checked the weather, and it is expected to be quite windy. In fact, those gusts are at a level that will impact the passing game. Not a total passing shutdown (11-16 mph consistent) but its a factor. Both teams may need to focus...

The pats are built more to defend the pass in my view vs being super stout against the run. Besides Vince the rest of the D line is not stout. And we got rid of spikes who played the teddy Johnson role. Now with mayo out this who we are. The tommy Kelly cut we will regret all year long. So be...

Friends, lets not forget how often we played nickel and dime D last year. just because we have a lot of Corners doesnt mean we have too many. i fully expect Browner to play Corner with Revis, and Dennard and Arrington and Ryan filling out the situation and covering any injuries that pop up...

This was a great memory for me. We roadtripped down to Giants Stadium for the last game of the amazing regular season. tailgating in the Giants parking lot, lots of pats fans we had awesome seats - 48 yard line from my partner in ny office a lot of fun banter with the giantsfans - they...

Re: Salary Cap Picture - 2/28/2014 Update: How Pats can get under cap by $25-34 milli I am guessing that $30M in cap space would be a lot, esp if we released very few players. how does it compare across the league?

Yes, pretty sure it is true. Everyone can stop arguing about whether Lombardi and co was effective, and read the back story article. I have heard in several sources that Lombardi and co were forced onto Haslam by the NFL at the time of acquisition. It was only a matter of time before he...

Wow, Miami. I remember not so long ago, Miami hired the Big Tuna to come in and "fix things" as head of football operations (or something like that - an uber role over GM and coach). Can someone remind us how they went from that turnaround move, back to the trash heap? Thanks! -- FRITZ

If you read Reiss' picked up pieces from the game, Terrance Knighton, the Denver nose beast, was the player of the game. He dominated Wendell (and Mankins), stuffed the run early, and got pressure and sacks on Brady. Picked-up pieces from 2nd-half review - New England Patriots Blog - ESPN...

The Pats lines played so much better against Indy. IS Denver that much better of a team on both sides of the ball? I didnt think so. Therefore, the O-line and D-line under-delivered...? Just having a hard time understanding how our team can get pushed around like that.

And we got manhandled at both against the Broncos of all teams. Great point.

I agree that Brady did not play well. And our secondary got torched for record yards (after Welker pick play). But honestly, we got NO pressure on the Forehead all day. And our ability to run against their 7 (not eight) was non existent. I can understand that the QB (Brady) can have an off...

Awesome. This has been feeling like the longest week, waiting. -- FRITZ

Has man coverage become the new emphasis in the NFL now or just new for the pats post-Talib acquisition?. I seem to recall many many years ago when the Raiders were considered one of the only teams in the league to consistently play man coverage.
