There has been much said and lamented about where the Pats are Post-Brady and how bad the team will be this coming season, and maybe even for years to come. Some talking about Tanking for Trevor, or become try-hards that fail. I dont even necessarily mean on this board. Its almost consensus in...

Just as a reference going forward 1st round (own) 2nd round (own) 3rd round (own) 3rd round (Brady comp) 4th round (own) 4th round (Van Noy comp) 4th round (Collins comp) 5th round (own) 6th round (own) 6th round (Jets, D Thomas trade) 6th round (Dallas, M Bennett trade) 7th round (own) I will...

So, I am gathering there is a lot of angst over the draft so far, but for me, it could not have gone any better. the strength of this team has been its defense the last two years especially, but started to lose pieces, and have a lot of guys that are getting a little long in the tooth...

So, let me preface this by saying, as always, Brady staying should be the priority. I dont need to get in to the whys or hows or ifs, but I think most, if not all will agree that is the preferred ending to this off-season. With that said, one thought that I keep bouncing around my head is what...

I didn't get to be part of the draft run-up as I would have liked with life getting in the way, but it was quite the year sharing draft knowledge and expectations with all of you. This board is really one of a kind, and it sharpens my eye and knowledge just reading some of the opinions shared...

Alright, it's time for my second of three offseason mocks. The last one will just be a draft mock the week of the draft, so we will have all the offseason signings taken care of by then, and we can hopefully make more accurate draft selections. When building the roster, I tried think through...

Thanks Bill Simmons for the Ringer! This is a fantastic article that brings to light all what makes DH so special. Fun read. https://theringer.com/new-england-patriots-donta-hightower-middle-linebacker-c20e2001b2d8#.i8ja8xp7z

This is incredibly early in the process, probably too early, but I thought I would get the ball started. There are a lot of unknowns about our own free agents and other possible free agents, so I will do a minor offseason mock as well. I also haven't seen everyone (by a mile) but have found...

I ran a similar thread last season, as the injuries started to get out of control. Seemed like a good visual reminder of the amount of guys missing, and the acculmulation over the season. This year, I will also add in the games missed for suspension, just as a mental reminder of who was...

You had to know this thread was coming.... So, last year this board was a bit of a snooze fest, as most of us were just ticked at the league for snatching away something we can sometimes love as much as the games themselves. 1st round draft picks are only part of the draft, but it's the part...

Alright, everyone's favourite game. Only rules I am using are that injuries are not accounted for, and only players on the current roster/practice squad are eligible. Both of those two things means none of this will be accurate, but helps to keep things easier to navigate. With those...

It has been said many times that the Pats have faced incredible amounts of injuries this year. It has been a bit different than other seasons, in the sense that we have had so many on IR, while also being banged up on a week to week basis. I thought it would be an interesting excercise to look...

Well, I couldnt help myself. Here is my first try at 2016. For awhile I had no interest in this offseason with the robbery of our top pick, but as I have taken a step back, this summer could be one of the most interesting offseasons in quite some time. Not just because of the players...

we wont face a QB better than Tyrod Lewis the rest of the season. Lewis Osweiler Sanchez/bradshaw Yates/Hoyer Mariota Fitzpatrick Tannehill Mariota is getting better, but that is a throwback to mid 80's level quarterbacking we have coming up. So, while the injuries are worrisome right now, we...

I love articles like these, since we just dont get enough of them throughout the year. Wherever you fall on religion makes no difference, I just love how the Pats seem to go after the very best, no matter what their job is. http://m.espn.go.com/nfl/story?storyId=12250363&src=desktop

When you talk about the vaunted defense of the Seahawks, we continue to look at the team through a lens that we recognize. When a team has years of continued success, we have a habit of generalizing success, and missing details when things change along the way. This is one major change that...
