JC! *&%%&^))(^^$%^&$()&(*&*&!!!!! How long have some of you been following the Pats? This kind of sh!t happens every few years in order to plan for the draft and/or a trade. Last year was a phenomenal experience as a fan, from free-agency right on through until the last minute of the Superbowl , but as long as BB and Brady are on this team, we will be competing for championships. Belichick is as human as anyone and can make good calls along with bad calls. I'll let his record speak for itself. For example. when he cut Lawyer Milloy everyone was screaming, but that turned out pretty good. Let the dust settle before everyone starts jumping off bridges. Come September, the Pats will be loaded and ready for another run at this thing. Based on the way Pioli, Kraft, and BB have done so far, I'd be willing to bet that they have already calculated and planned for the future, as well as the needs on this team so far. The minute they go away from the formula that has worked so far is when this era of Patriot football will start to crumble. I believe we are still in the midst of another if not two more Lombardi's.
