Not sure what the big deal is about CHB. He just writes the stuff the rest of us worry about. OK, sometimes with a little edge, but nevertheless. Anyway, all his column says today is that the Patriots are flawed especially on defense where they set a record for most yards allowed. Which...

BoB has nothing to do with the unanswered part.

How's everyone feeling? Better?

<------ Hey, look! I made the roster!

Adjustment time for the D. The O finally did enough to give them a chance.

This is definitely not over yet.

Maybe the defense can make a couple adjustments with some time to do it.

Hey, a first down! Now we're rolling.

OK, we hav 'em right where we want 'em now.

Isn't balance GREAT!

Now, c'mon. It's BOLD predictions, not ridiculous...:D

I have no doubt that I'm going to sound like I've been drinking the cool-aid all day, but BPA or player of need aren't the only options. A few folks have touched on it, but the crux of Belichick's drafting philosophy is what has become a cliche: Do what's best for the team. There are a...

This is a little bit of cherry picking, too. It assumes that the main reason for Belichick's decision is mistrust of Gostkowski, rather than a different assessment of the game situation from yours. For example, Belichick may have thought that a field goal wasn't enough even if made.

I lived in Pittsburgh for a few years and I can attest. They're into football at all levels. And they're loyal to a fault. They're also parochial dumbasses who think that if it isn't Pittsburgh, it isn't good. Which is the fault part of the equation.

Great win - credit the D. Definitely good to see the defense carry the team. Nice drive at the end by Brady to pull out of the hole of his own making. It has been a while since we saw one of those last mionute drives, too. This was a big win because of the way they did it.

Right. So how do the Patriots compare to other teams? Maybe you agree with footballoutsiders?

What is your objective measure of talent? Can you compare your measure to other teams' talent selection?

Absolutely. The results on the field is the only thing that matters. I keep reading how terrible the Patriots drafts are. I have to conclude that this means they are below average. (Duh, right?) So would one of you folks that thinks they are terrible name 16 teams that have gotten better...

Let me put it another way. The teams that are expected to do well in the draft are the ones that draft first. The Patriots seldom do.

Too stupid for words. The teams that are below average in the draft have records that are below average over many years.
