Hi folks. I've been a little scarce around here, partly because my fan life is, I'ma say, in transition, and my personal life has been better and better of late. It's 22 min. of work though, so for once I'll be brief: I'm getting (re-)married April 26, so I totally win this year's draft. You...

I'll go first. 9-8 without. 10-7 with. (Pessimistic case.) To flesh it out: I think and hope we could revise both these numbers up 2 games without much stress, if in fact the 2022 coaching was really that bad. On the other hand, if Mac Jones is really just not the pro bowler he was in his...

Some of you got to know MrsPFnV through the old PoFo, or just around the boards until a few years ago. She passed away yesterday morning after a long illness. She always looked for the best in all of us. She'd deny it, but she was the best of us. For those who remember her, let her memory be a...

So I don't see the "get claimed by your binkie" thread, which I believe comes closer to camp.... but who's got you amped - wide open question. BoB's return? Existing players? Draftees? Smith-Shuster? I have a lot of activity born of boredom I'll generously call "thoughts" - The Company Run...

https://sports.yahoo.com/two-time-super-bowl-champion-110101830.html?src=rss Lots of Patriots names involved. This is some greek tragedy scale ironic hubris.

I mean, the draft is over. Why not? Granted, "predict the roster" makes more sense, but you have any idea how many poll responses you'd need? :D

Just stating the obvious. I went on to post my admittedly optimmistic "predict the score" prediction, and saw that everybody joined me in their optimism. Granted, we've seen in the last two games that we can beat up bad teams really efficiently. HOWEVER... The "what if" is starting to loom...

Yes, TyQuantumleap Thorntonofpotential went under the knife on August 22, 1 month and 1 day ago. His recovery time was thought to be 6-8 weeks. 4.28 speed not in BB's doghouse and in synch with Mac.... look forward to his return

So, there was a transscript of BB's interview linked on the site front, but now it's vanished, at least from here, for me. However, I was surprised to see... "But right now our focus is to review the Miami game, talk about the things that happened, good and bad, and then once we’re done with...

The very unfair rigged Super Bowl in 2008 was just the last act of the un commissioner of the NFL's campaign to rig the game and every other game the Patriots lost ever. I was all ready for the Patriots to win that game, frankly we DID win that game. We won EVERY OTHER game that season, give me...

Just in case this doesn't show up in an official thread: https://www.si.com/nfl/patriots/news/new-england-damien-harris-abortion-roe-wade-comments-twitter?src=rss Please note that you've read this, but don't comment on its content, because we do not have political threads. Sad that the...

I can't believe this is (in my mind) thread-worthy, but I saw them picking the Pats to win 7 games on NFLN, and I'm seeing it become the sexy cliche that we have a big collection of 2s and 3s at the offensive skill positions, but no true #1s... and granted, I am buying reports out of camp about...

So the linked front page article, to my surprise, has this long involved description of the "stop trying to make fetch happen" line in Mean Girls. ((It's the "Chain Reaction of Competence" article). I was so shocked I now have to go back and certain that the writer is using it to mean, let's...

Forgive the clickbait, but let's pretend that we only know what we truly can verify. Our NE Patriots organization sees value in sending out a fan-friendly explainer, pick by pick, to at least tell the story of how the war room functions, regardless of the truth or falsehood of that story. Why...

TAMPA, FL - Sparking, then dashing, Patriot fan hopes of The Impossible Reunion, Tom Brady announced today that he never had any problem playing under Coach Belichick, and that his disciplined approach to acquisitions, communications, and practices were never a problem for the third-decade...

We know that Mac Jones' nickname is "Joker." I don't think we know precisely which, if any, Joker he relates to. There's Joker in "Full Metal Jacket," who wasn't really that funny, he just wised off at the wrong time. Then there are all the Batman Jokers. You got your Cesar Romero Joker, your...

I won't do the whole letter, but just the paragraph toward the end where he talks about the fans... Finally, I will miss some of you, all of you Patriots fans, at least the good ones, more than you know. You guys on the PatsFans GDT hurt my feelings, and it's like I had to be are the epitome of...

So, the Free Agency/Cap era was introduced specifically so that the rest of the league did not have to suffer through a San Francisco or a Dallas (or in the AFC, Buffalo, a dynasty of losers). You other old-timers remember when the 49ers were the big dog, with some frequent flyers winning the...

WOW. Okay, I reacted strongly to the narrative that AB pulled his TB departure because he didn't reach an incentive. It was being argued that Tampa Bay was unfairly trying to not let him earn an incentive or somesuch (that was before he released the narrative that he was being forced to play on...
