With Julio, the Pats have the horses to beat any team, including Tampa. Our offensive line and secondary are better than theirs. C'mon, WFT almost beat them last year.
Cam is the poison pill. Even if Mac Jones is starting and Barmore is great... Tampa is a buzzsaw. They're returning their entire team and learned they had to run the ball toward the end of last season, they'll only be better assuming health. If Mac is great, the Pats will have a chance against anyone assuming health, but Tampa and KC will be tough to beat for anyone.

No one is saying Tampa isn't tough, but they are not world-beaters...last year's close calls against WFT, NYG, Chi, LAR, and GB prove that. Are they a better team now? Maybe, but they are essentially the same team as last year on paper. And injuries will inevitably happen as they do to all teams.
 
For how much?
30,000 pounds of bananas is based on a true story.



On March 18, 1965, a 33-year-old truck driver, Eugene P. Sesky, was on his way to deliver a load of bananas to Scranton, Pennsylvania.[1][4][5] Sesky, an employee of Fred Carpentier—operator of a small truck line in Scranton—was returning from the boat piers at Newark, New Jersey, where he had picked up his load. The load was destined for the A&P produce Warehouse in South Side.[1][6] Sesky was driving a 1950s Brockway diesel truck tractor with a 35 ft (11 m) semi-trailer and was headed down Rt. 307 when he lost control. That section of Rt. 307 contains a two-mile descent extending from Lake Scranton to the bottom of Moosic Street that includes a drop in elevation of more than 500 ft (150 m) in less than 1.5 mi (2.4 km). Sesky was unable to control the truck's speed down the hill due to a mechanical failure, variously attributed to the truck's brake system[1][4] or its clutch.[3] As a result, the truck cruised into Scranton at approximately 90 mph (140 km/h), sideswiping a number of cars before it crashed into a house[1] at the southwest corner of Moosic St and S. Irving Ave (41.4000°N 75.6550°WCoordinates: 41.4000°N 75.6550°W),[3] close to the bottom of the hill. Witnesses reported that Sesky did everything possible to avoid pedestrians and other motorists,[3] including climbing out onto the truck's running board to try to warn people,[1] and some have suggested that he may have deliberately flipped the truck over to avoid striking either bystanders or an automotive service station[7] on Moosic Street that could have exploded in flames, causing a greater loss of life. Sesky was thrown from the truck and killed[1] and bananas were spilled and strewn when the rig came to rest; 15 others were injured but only Sesky died. The road was closed for cleanup[4] as Johnson's Towing Company helped out in the recovery. Trucks over 21,000 lbs were required to go down the hill in first, low gear. Trucks over 21,000 lb (10.5 t) are no longer allowed to travel that route (they must use Interstate 380 via Dunmore).

1965 bananas aren't worth much today.
 
Patriots don’t need tall receivers, to be quite honest they’d be better with the shortest wide receivers they can. Guys 6’4” have a long way to go to reach down and get the balls thrown at their feet. A 5’6” guy has a much smaller distance to cover to get to Cams spikes
 
2020: Tom Brady leaves because BB won't get him any weapons
2021: BB spends $150m(or whatever) on weapons for Cam Newton

Last year for about a third of the season they led the NFL in penalties, mostly the result of false starts. They also didn’t realize until they set an NFL record for fewest rushing attempts in a single game getting shellacked by the Saints late in the season that nobody can afford to become one dimensional offensively. Their three young corners, all drafted in the last two classes also came into their own finally. They were a juggernaut by seasons end, substantially better than early in the season.

Kansas city was a juggernaut too after the 2019 season but injuries caught up with them (Mahomes turf toe and their two starting tackles). I don't understand how some of you are already conceding the season to Tampa.

Sure, no need to consider that the Pats had almost zero salary cap room in 2020, but those are minor details...remember when Brady made us waste a draft pick on Muhammed sanu?

Not conceding the season to anyone, I also said "health provided" the Chiefs will be tough also. Health is a consistent theme with any potential champion.

Injuries can derail any team. If we can count on that happening then you have a point but its kind of.......well duh!
 
stop pimping your obvious head up the azz lust for Magomes and KC, Tommy...it's getting really annoying. Your heroboy LOST and got MURDERED in the process...stop blaming O linemen and toes...idiocy...just butthurt secret KC fan and Magomes adorer B.S.
 
As long as a team is comfortable with the potential extra injuries an aging WR can have, and as long as the team doesn't have to play all manner of cap games, what's the reason for a team without a complete and high end WR stable not to try bringing in Jones?
 
I don’t know it would be nice for Julio to get a ring, not a first please.
