Its quite amazing to see the amount of conservative views regarding FA. Im sure even Bill would issue a smirk upon reading these threads. Lets debunk some of the “Pats have only 30M cap“ and everything “costs so much“. 1. 30M+ Cap Space is NOT REALITY. Its just accounting snippet in time for...

There is one important question each HC would like an answer to - What/Who we are as a team? With half of the regular season almost gone the answer in NE might be foggier than it was before week 1. I cant recall a BB team with less identity than this one. Nothing seems to be clear atm. It was...

there was some interest to open this thread ill post some thoughts later for starters here's a nice Miguel rundown comparing 2021-2022 two high end starters lost long time core vets in decline gone substantial influx (10) of promising rookies added

Some thoughts upon tiresome re-watch: Last night game was almost exclusively about depth. Those who like to worry were given some reasons. On the bright side - positions that kept most people up during long offseason - DL, LB, DB - actually look decent in depth which is hardly a surprise. The...

The fog of offseason roster building is slowly lifting - so this might be a good opportunity for first big picture look. Roster is currently at 88 - but there will be still a lot of traffic after tryouts, OTAs and minicamp. Before sharing some of my roster building thoughts here is a roster...

Narrative 10 weeks ago Pats not a playoff team Narrative 3 weeks ago Pats a SB team Writing thier own story - Patriots secure their playoff spot with one week to go Congrats!

There were plenty of Q marks / concerns raised in various threads about NE running game - both run D and O - albeit going mainly by the stats and live game feel - many of them in the weekly @patfanken Idle Thoughts The "why do I feel so bad about a 23 pt. victory" edition. - While running game...

captain Andrews holding the line together all year through hell and back one of the best rated Cs in the league over last 6 yrs by far best value vet contract in the league over last 5 yrs .. TOT contracts value = 10y/29.6M signed by bB (bum Belichick) as UDFA having just another monster game..

This week the guy this board loves to hate is getting some love for his run blocking. Deservedly so. But he has been doing this consistently all year. He is best blocker on the team outside OL. And its not even close. Is that worth pick #32? No. But he is on the field & big part of success run...

There were multiple questions/calls throughout the week why Pats dont activate both remaining RBs at the same time. One answer that has difficulties to come across is that they dont play special teams. Second answer - about QB/play protection - comes from Bolden himself: -.-

Worries over Wynn reached dangerous/deranged levels lately so let us find strength and comfort in watching Wynn's actual performance free of expectations. I understand this is not very popular way around here or anywhere for that matter nevertheless.. First we welcome mostly restrained yet...

Today is the deadline for exercising 5th year option. Pats have 2 options with Wynn and Sony. By the new rule exercising options fully guarantees both 2021 salary and 2022 option. Wynn = 2M + 10.4M option Sony = 1.8M + 4.5M option Neither price tags are excessive but both had injury issues so...

Id like to add some context to counter-balance the insanity of media takes out there “evaluating“ “uncharacteristically“ “aggressive“ start of FA. (futile, i know :)) take 1 - “Patriots will be uncharacteristically aggressive“ First of all that's tautological. Lets skip the hyperbolic use of...

Have a bit of time on my hand over next month or so & w this being a very special offseason in general & Pats particular i decided to invest some in this thread. The purpose of this thread (hopefully) is to present as comprehensive Pats 2021 ROSTER BUILDING OPTIONS picture as possible so I hope...

Buttfumble gets a rightful heir (@#6) Why don't i just hand you the ball..

Wynn over win - id prefer good Wynn news over the win. So far this from dr.Chao: “He came into the season recovering from a left achilles rupture as a rookie and was taken into the medical tent with an apparent foot injury. His return is questionable. The injury happened on Sony Michel's...

starting with Pats cuts only . adding some league cuts later RB -- Brosette FB/LB -- Johnson WR -- 2 of Berrios, R.Davis, D.Patterson (assuming Olszewski makes the 53 - here or elsewhere) TE -- Anderson OL -- (Gauthier, Croston, St.Luis) DT -- Kamalu* (Parry) LB -- Munson* (Scooby) S -- Gant...

One of the most experienced OT on the market is visiting Foxb. If healthy could be a solid addition at the start of second part of FA

Its just Breer throwing darts but still . an interesting and plausible idea I wouldn't mind this at all - should be as Pat Fit as it gets..
