Brandon Lloyd meeting with 49ers: Patriots are gonna blow it

[SoonerPatriot]

Yeah, watching this team make the playoffs every year is a real drag.

Not in my book, big guy.

It has significantly more to do with execution and luck, or a respective lack thereof, than it does with talent.

So when we won 3 out of 4 SBs it was mostly luck? I guess we should just keep the team the same and just hope for luck, maybe Ocho gets lucky and has a good game. Lets pray.

So what are you whining about, then?

Consider the current state of the Patriots' rivals during their dynasty era. Now consider the current state of the Patriots. We are incredibly lucky.

Next year is going to be more of the same. Pats are going to be one of the top scoring teams in the league. They will go 12-4, win the division. Then they will run into a team that "clogs" the short middle of the field with their freed up safties....were Wes and the tights run their routes. Brady will then have know where to go with the ball.

Sick of this *****

Step into the Wayback Machine to 1992 and sit in section 209 and we'll see how sick you are of this era of Patriots football.

I think you need to adjust your monitor. I was responding to someone else.

Or you can just bugger off.

I have no preference.

Next!

Well, since you seem more comfortable arguing with yourself, I'll leave you to it.

If you want to read what is actually written and respond accordingly, do let me know.

You're damn right we are. As they say in SF, who has it better than us?

NOBODY!

If you were responding to someone else, why would you quote my post?

Probably your animal magnetism.

Is that an AFC Team.

The fact remains that the team is paper thin at WR and nothing is being done to correct it. They struck gold getting a GOAT for a 6th round pick and they're giving him crap WRs to throw to.

Adding better WRs is not some magic pill that automatically wins championships if you have a great QB. In the current era look no further than the Colts, who used the formula so many here are pleading for; net result was one championship in fourteen seasons. Similarly you can look in the past to players like Dan Fouts (zero in fifteen seasons) or Dan Marino (zero in seventeen seasons).


The other thing to consider is this: people seem to have contracted amnesia regarding the state of the Patriots defense. For every dollar spent on the wide receiver position, that's one less dollar available to spend on all the positions in need of upgrade elsewhere.

I see your point but I think we have tried that the past couple of years. One deep pass would have put the game away instead of 40 short passes and one drop that ruins it all. Its frustrating that we have to bust our ass to drive with two nonathletic skeletons while Eli chucks it 80+ yards in the final minute.

If you want to assess blame for the loss then I would say that is equally, if not more of an indictment of the poor performance of the safeties in aiding the corners in coverage than it is of the receivers in not doing their job. It's also worth noting that the longer the route, the more time the opposing pass rush has to get to the quarterback and cause an errant throw.

Thanks Jackie!

There's enough money for a Welker deal, a WR deal, a S deal and drafting defense in the draft.

Eli Manning with Nicks-Cruz and Manningham???? If we have an Offense that sustains Drives that equates to less time for D on field...I want a WR that can Stretch the field not name Ocho or Branch.
