he is as old as willieborisman said:I know we lost a few free agents & will lose a couple more. But, as far as I know we still have the best QB and 8 other starters on offense. On defense we have 9 or 10 starters coming back. Plus, there's also 7 picks in the first 5 rounds. So it's not like we have to replace 6 starters and have none of our best players coming back.
I want them to do something before all the good players are gone but not if it's gonna negatively affect the future. We still make the playoffs with our current team and there's plenty of off-season left.
Just think, Jason Fabini will sign any day now. :singing:

Pats lose McGinest and Givens while signing Hank Poteat and Bam Childress. Yup, order your Super Bowl tickets now.

DaBruinz said:More like Boston's Ambassador to the Chicken Little Club. We you one of the people lamenting the loss of Todd Rucci, Max Lane and Chris Slade? How did that turn out for the Pats? Were you also whining about Lawyer Milloy? What happened there?
1) I agree, losing McGinest stinks, but myself and others have said this looks to be somewhat of a transistion year for the Pats. I still expect the Pats to put a very competative team on the field.
2) Willie, David, and the others are replacable. Don't forget that it wasn't that long ago that the Pats had a no-name DE/OLB lining up opposite Willie and people were complaining about that. BTW, that "No-Name" was Mike Vrabel.
3) David Givens reminds me of David Patten with his attitude. Both thought they had #1 WR potential. Truth be told, neither of them has it. David can feel he was being under-untilized in the Pats defense, but David had a few key drops last year.
Also, its March 14. Why are you acting like the Pats are going to be last in the league? Part 1 of free agency is still on-going. The Draft and Part 2 of Free Agency hasn't happened yet. Neither has training camp. There is still plenty of time for this team to take shape and to be acting like any team is
the favorite for the SB shows a complete lack of understanding of the game of football.

Just get the F out if you can't handle the reality of how the Patriots have been doing business the last 5 years. Get a grip. I'm bummed about McGinest, too, but honestly, you people need to get back to recess and stay there forever.
Now, onto my thoughts on Willie:
I wanted him to retire a Patriot. I think he has at least two more productive years left as a situational pass-rusher.
I will say this - Romeo went after his man. He threw a (relatively) big contract at Willie. 3 years, 12 million. Even with whatever "fake" years are thrown in, that's a sizable chunk. Thing is, to the Browns, that's good value. Willie will bring major intangibles along with his on-field skills.
I can't say I blame the Patriots for not matching that offer, but I would like for them to have done SOMETHING to indicate an interest in one of the all-time great Patriots. I don't know what they're seeing that I'm not, but I watched McGinest have a very solid 2005, culminating in a record-breaking 4-sack performance against Jacksonville in the playoffs. To me that's a guy who still has something to contribute, even in a role-player and leadership in the locker room-type.
I also think that, while it's nice for Willie to get one more decent pay-day, he'll regret petering out at the end of his career, pulling on the orange and brown.
All that said, Congrats to #55. He was a huge part of 3 Super Bowl championships, and I wish him well. Glad the jets didn't get him.
yeah, because Belichick and Pioli have no idea what they're doing. Good take.Jacky Roberts said:Goddammit. One of the hearts of the Patriots defense is gone. Lets see how the pom pom wavers spin this one. This team is swirling the bowl right now.

Jacky Roberts said:Maybe they do, maybe they don't. The last time we saw the 'dynamic duo' in action, they were signing busts Monty Beisel and Chad Brown. The rest of this offseason is going to go a long way in defining the "genius".
JackBauer said:My God. How many days are we into FA. How much cap room do we have.
We could have kept McGinest. We did not. Obviously, the coaches feel his best days are behind him (I'm inclined to agree).
Stop whining!
It might be a good time to note that if these mouthbreathers had been running the show these last six years, there wouldn't have been one single world championship. Not one playoff game. Not one winning record. There would have been no Tom Brady, no Richard Seymour, no Deion Branch, no nothing. Just quiet, moth-ridden incompetance, dozens of ignominious losses, and empty, empty seats.Jacky Roberts said:Transition year? This is a Super Bowl team. Why dismantle it now? Look what Tennessee has done. Who do you think the Pats are going to replace him with? Just wait until they lose Vinatieri. Outside of Brady, McGinest may have been their best playoff performer in Pats history who is coming off a great year. I wonder how Pats such as Seymour and Branch feel today. Personally I'm disgusted. They should just put "Pat Patriot" back on the helmet and get it over with.
Snapper said:Right. Belichick and Pioli haven't proved anything.
Wow.
Honest to God, man, promise when the Red Sox start up, you'll go back to calling WEEI and logging on to Steve Silva's site and leave this poor message board alone. We'll see your front running ass back here next January when you jump back in yet another pathetic attempt to associate your lame self with another champion.Jacky Roberts said:Maybe they do, maybe they don't.

I doubt it. Some people are just dumb bastards, and there is nothing you can do for them.DaBruinz said:When you actually learn about the Salary Cap, please let me know. I think you might have something to offer then.
