Are you surprised the Pats haven't made any moves yet ?

When reached for comment regarding the possible signing of any vested veterans whose contracts would no longer be guaranteed, the Patriots front office released the following statement:

"…zzzzzz…"

I presume you are referring to the dearth of receiving options which, to be fair to pessimists, was a major factor in the AFCCG loss.... though it was still a loss in the AFCCG.

I think of the following year. Can't stop the run, no quality DL depth (or even starting options aside from Wilfork, frankly). Enter Branch and Siliga, stop playing Jones at 3-tech and viola! Hold Indy to 4 yards on 14 carries off the bye and the run D was never much of a problem again, with the possible exception of the playoff game against Baltimore.

That's what the "if they play like that against...!" crowd doesn't seem to understand. The body of evidence suggests that week one issues do not presist throughout the season, so they have little reason to think this disaster scenario will occur.

Most certainly receivers. We had the reanimated corpse of Collie haha.

I also think of that secondary. Was that 2013? Where like. Somehow. Every damn game. 3rd/10 a 20 yard bomb would be caught. They had Talib but the drop off from him was astoudingly bad haha. It was the most frustrating thing to watch. Man. A bad secondary is just. It's so annoying haha.

I see a move or two at the deadline depending on where they stand record and depth wise by then

Remember 2004? Troy Brown at CB. DBs like Earthwind Moreland, and Hank Poteat signed in the post season to cut some classes and play in the Super Bowl?
