Yes, we all fret when the Pats give up the plays 5 yards in front of the DBs etc. HOWEVER, did you notice how the Steelers sold out on the last play of the game yesterday. They had 11 guys on the LOS, to run blitz. And then BAM, game over. Steelers gave up the big play all day. There may...

Section 239, row 12. Tailgate should start around when? 4pm? :rocker: -- FRITZ

Re: BB advice to Dimitroff and today's loss What did dimitroff learn in new England, if not to fall in love with a top 5 player and spend tons of draft picks on him?? that's what stumps me.

I finished the War Room this holiday. I found the Julio Jones draft by Dimitroff as a very un-Patriot move, giving up 4 draft picks to move up for a cache player in the top ten. It just felt like a naive, fan-driven move. And when he asked BB for advice, BB said "I wouldnt do it". no shyte...

dude, the jets have the tiebreaker over cincy. what are you talking about?

thanks for clearing that up, you are right. -- FRITZ

the #1 seed is VERY IMPORTANT. the reason is that it gives us a chance to host the AFCC game. which is like a second XMas for those of us who go to Gillette for these sorts of things!!!:rocker: last second XMas for January 2008 against JAX. GO NINERS!!! -- FRITZ

Always enjoy this weekly thread, a great addition and balance to the back-and-forth hysteria. Thanks! -- FRITZ

Ok, but back to the OP's post .... 1. Sergio is just a specia teams guy, and deep deep back up at safety (behind Slater apparently). No surprise here. 2. Guyton not playing is surprising. (I really thought I saw him on some red zone snaps btw but am probably wrong). He is apparently...

Dont forget -- apparently, Sanders showed up to camp out of shape too. BB must have decided that he had more value in the young guys at that point. A gamble indeed. also, back to the OPs statement about Chung, Ihdigbo, Moore as competent safeties -- Moore is now GONE. how much do you miss...

wow i didnt know that. NFL should advertise that more. -- FRITZ

I always appreciate a thoughtful thread or post, with a new angle. And this holds a lot of water, for what you are intending to say. The D has won its side of the battle in a lot of games. Its not a terrible Defense -- you have proved it to us. The confusion (or debate) comes down to how...

Re: Adams released I think Adams returns to the shadow roster. Dont forget he has been cut before. And I would imagine he will be resigned again this season (if an when necessary). In the meantime, it does seem to indicate the return of some injured DBs. -- FRITZ

Rexy... Sanchez sucks thread I have to admit, its been impressive seeing Rexy take the Jets to the AFCC game the past two years, his first two years as HC. I would give him high marks for aggressiveness: - defensive game planning - player motivation through brashness - high end talent...

From memory, Brady was incredibly lucky last year on that streak of now INTs... there were so many tipped balls and potential picks, yet no one ended up with anything. if you factor that in, people might not glorify Brady last year as much. Nonetheless, Brady has had 3 games of multiple...

we were in the NW corner end zone. at the end of the first half the Pats got hte ball with 5 mins left, and milked the full clock to get down to basically the 3 yard line or whatever. even tho we missed the FG, the approach to using up the full clock was well done. then at the end of the...

he might be playing on par with James Sanders. (and Sergio Brown is more athletic than Sanders)

Todays game is a critical contest in the season, and will either assuage the panickers and throw more fuel on the fire to the theory that the NEP are still a shaky work in progress.. After a full week of back and forth, I give you my summary of the debate that has been raging on this Board...

its a legitimate point of view, especially looking at who we have in our secondary now. i wouldnt call it "disgraceful" but it is really "rag tag". but consider the following that may play into BB's head. 1. Sometimes you have to hurt your team during the regular season by making changes...

Nice job on the self-scouting. Some good insights into what was happening in the Steeler game, and what other coaches might take away from it. We can take some comfort that BB sees this as well, we hope. -- FRITZ
