Bedard: There was second guessing about Mayo over summer and him getting a second year isn't guaranteed

[TheRainMaker]

They were loaded.

The entire core was dope.

It's good to see that even Patriot fans disrespect the skill their players had. It's why they kept saying no one respects us. They were talking about you.

Dude. Thw core carried them to 3 titles.

They are literally the definition of loaded.

No one was better than them that era.

Not one analyst picked the Pats to even make the playoffs with their loaded core in 2001.

It's time to just accept the loss and move on.

Ah, that makes sense. I thought it was a photo op set up by Stid himself. Seems like a weird thing to do unless you are under the impression the job is yours for the taking.

I only knew after looking it up today because I was curious what the story was with that photo. You'll see other rookies in the chair as well.

Perhaps you need to look up what hindsight means.

No, I think you do.

 

[festy1986]

No, I think you do.

Truly I don't bud. Hindsight certainly doesn't mean who predicted the Patriots to win BEFORE the season

You’re not making any sense at this point.

Jarrett stidham has all physical tools but mentally so shot...wish he had the mental fortitude of zappe. Could have turned into a brock purdy on steroids .

Having a “core” isn’t being loaded.
They added an awful lot of players before the second and 3rd chemopionship.
If they were loaded, wouldn’t they have made the playoffs in 2002?

Washington’s success is because of more than just Daniels.

I’ll take Maye, thank you very much.

I like Maye. I really do.

But not a team in the NFL - including the Patriots - is taking Maye over Daniels. You're delusional if you don't realize this.

 

[XLIX]

I am too. I really like Maye's size, athleticism, and character. I think Maye will grow and get better for years to come.

Jayden's size is a big risk in the NFL. He might survive, but one big hit and he might not ever be the same.

Congratulations. You just described every single player in the NFL, especially at the QB position.

Don't triple down on the embarrassment. Don't be that guy.

They was loaded. I don't know what you're talking about. That team would win the Superbowl this year.

The problem people had was that he threw players under the bus. If he included himself in the soft proclamation it would have been different.

I agree with you that it was a problem, but he said a soft football team across the board. I took that as everyone involved with the football so coaches included.

You are on crack

 

[captain stone]

I can't believe you're arguing in defense of the 2024 Patriots.

There is no value in winning 5 games. None.

Unless it's Maye who's winning them. If we were 4-4 instead of 2-6 however, then this is an entirely different discussion.

...None of those people are "new" except Maye and conveniently enough he's the only one that's going to be sticking around.

It was a useless win. No one is going to be screaming we won the Superbowl in 2026 because they won 6 games this year vs 4. Not a single person. Not even you.

You'll be saying they won the Superbowl because they nailed the draft.

I was actually hoping that Stevenson would've been ruled down by contact and short of the GL after that feeble-ass blocking demonstration by our Jumbo package.

I have No interest Whatsoever in watching Any more "victories" led by Jacoby Brisket gifted to him by incompetent competition.
Unfortunately, that's probably exactly what we'll be given again this Sunday.

That is ad hominem. Reserved for when the argument is capitulated.

Thanks for the dub.

No it’s an observation. No one has ever called that team loaded before today.

I don't know why you're getting hung up on that word. That team was fire and people have since recognized it as such.

They used to say if you played the rams a 100 times the Patriots would only win that one time.

I don't ****ing think so.

Hung up on the word that is the basis of the argument?

 

[festy1986]

Well you hung up on it because you can't understand it. They were loaded.

It's one thing to say in 2001 they aren't loaded It's not a thing to say in 2024 that they aren't.
