I live in Denmark and of course the Gamepass is the best option (although there are NFL games televised on cable TV at 07:00 pm and 10:30 pm local time but of course not always Pats are televised). But this year with the BS I am looking at other - not as legal - options as I would rather not...

Count me in the thumbs up camp. Why is trading away your best OL guard a good idea? Because 2 TE offense is a staple of this offense as it gives so many options that are hard to defend. Cause the disparity in play between Mankins and the new starting guard is not as big as the disparity in play...

Early 70's listening to the games on the radio in the car with my dad. Seems like we were always driving up to Vermont or NH for some reason on Sundays. So as a teenager, I remember well listening to the 'Ben Dreith Raiders playoff game in 76 season and being crushed by the loss. I never saw...

Directed at no one in particular - applicable not only to this threat but many other threads in the draft forum: It continually never ceases to amaze me how people can look at draft picks and their future sucess in the NFL - and then 'pin' that sucess or failure onto the person(s) that...

Congrads Frezo! Awesome post. Think this will be a short thread as I doubt no one will top that........ As time is running short before the draft -here is our combined work (though my first part pales to your second part). Cheers from Copenhagen :) 'Twas the night before draft day...

Please help me finish the beloved poem 'Twas a night before Christmas....' done NFL / or Patriots style. I have writers block! 'Twas the night before draft day...... and all through his house, everyone was partying, plus even Janoris Jenkins spouse. The name tags were hung in the war...

Then that is not good news for SeaBass - with all the back problems last year. Plus (as I have been reading old rookie scouting reports on our recent draft picks) - I believe he also had back problems while at Houston. True, just found it: "Back surgery to repair a herniated disc in his back...

I would normally agree but not necessarily so - especially in this draft because: 1) Nick Caserio said this was a deep front 7 draft 2) Many offensive players might go off the board early in the first round (2-3 QB, 1-2 WR, 1 RB, a 4-6 Olineman) and then 3) Defensive players with high...

Sven.....that was a good guess. You know more about Denmark than you are letting on..... You keep sticking to one or two SB games as a basis of your opinion .....which i am not sure what it is actually because everyone and their grandmother (yours too) knows that this defense has to get...

Blow outs are not the norm in the playoffs and are increasingly rare as the playoffs progress. You hear quote after quote from NFL players and coaches saying how close the level of competition is in todays NFL. Gone are the blowouts of SB's in the 70 - 80's, which is why NFL today is so...

I have been a big proponent of trading down /out til next year - for the last many years - and IF Bill trades that is usually a good thing as it means: a) he found a trade partner (sorry that Dead Al can no longer be bait) and B) Bill believes it is worth trading as he doesnt trade just for...

Question: What would you think if we traded out of the 1st Rd. entirely? Answer: I would throw up in my mouth. And yours too. Makes no sense to trade BOTH picks out. Bradys career is nearing the end and the team is built to WIN NOW. I could see maybe trading out with one of the first...

Great thread and posts.......I am sure this link is in another thread somewhere -but in case you missed it - here is one of the best analysis I have ever read about NEP draft (and trading ) strategy on ESPN (NOT insider content !): It mentions just about all the things we have talked about in...

Besides the 'annuity' principle which is well explained earlier in this thread, there are other factors as well which make Bill the best trader. The trading back or into next year strategy yields in some rounds multiple selections. This years first round is a great example with picks # 27 and...

It is a good signing IMO. I'm sure Bill had a chat with Pioli to get the scoop on Waters production, locker room leadership as well as why they cut him. Often teams will cut declining vets at big dollars to bring along cheaper up and coming younglings. As has been said, at the very least it...

Re: Pats trying to trade Brandon Merriweather Knowing the system (Merriweather) does not mean FOLLOWING the system. Was very telling that Matt Patricia was assigned the safety group this year to try to get them in order. Matt and Bill must have not like what they saw (Sanders, McGowan and...

I also like the silvers. Was actually hoping to purchase a silver Welker if it became the alternate this year (paging Ken Flanders). Don't get me wrong Pat Patriot lovers - those are also cool but the drawback is that Pat is only on the helmet - not on the jersey. Would be cool if he was on...

Re: Pats release Levoir Agreed. Otherwise doesn't make sense as alittle thin already on O-line and still 3 preseason games to play. Hopefully we can go through unscathed.
