Call the national guard we murdered your season!

 

[Ring 6]

Zappe is functional but not the long term answer

Zappe is the floor of a qb you would want to put out on the field and with him all season we are in the playoff hunt.

 

[condon84]

Classic Bill win.

We were down to our 6th CB, missing Henry and JuJu, and we pull it out with some clutch defense, clutch QB play and a clutch kick.

If only Zappe started all year, smh.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Zappe is functional but not the long term answer

Functional works as a bridge qb heading into next season.

 

[festy1986]

Pats could be picking at #5. Joe Alt will go in top 4

If they beat the Jets they literally can fall all the way down to 8.

 

[Horace's Ivories]

Well that was certainly unexpected.. Chad Ryland for prez!

 

[signbabybrady]

Let's go wreck Buffalos season if we can too

 

[TheRainMaker]

Posters wanting a higher pick…

 

[gtfanboy]

I share your sentiments.

The bottom line is the future of the team really looks different now.

You had to get a franchise QB. Now...what?

Still need the franchise QB. Zappe isn't beating top tier teams.

Maybe, depends on what happens. Alt goes 4 if another team doesn’t fall in love with Daniels.

 

[Joey007]

Good bye Maye

I am a fan of Maye. But are we sure he’s a can’t miss prospect?

They try and sell us that Zappe was the guy all along.

Zappe. The same guy they cut.

He hasn't played Anyone that matters and when he did the chiefs smoked him.

 

[sb1]

Knew all along Ryland was money that was a no doubter for me

 

[Ring 6]

And when the Patriots try and sell you a season of zappe and they're sitting at 4 and 13 and doing this all over again, just remember. It's ok cause you feel vindicated over a useless win because they choked away real wins with real stakes in Denver years ago that have nothing to do with tonight.


I would have been banned tonight if a certain ex mod was still around so at least we can speak freely about our thoughts.

They have over 100 mill in cap to spend. Where they pick isn’t a big deal. The qb you are dreaming of will probably be a bust anyway.

 

[upstater1]

The funny thing is people are crying because we’re not tanking, but if you read the “which qb should we take??” Thread, everyone has different ideas about the top 3. All 3 will be available at the 5th pick unless there’s a trade and the patriots can match any trade because they have the 5th pick

 

[Ring 6]

I was hoping he got a shot to vindicate himself.

 

[UGAPatsfan]

I wanted them to lose, I admit it. But can not be too upset that they the team played very hard and gave everything they had.
I will predict now that if they beat the Jets, BB will be back next year. That is the reality

Exactly what I was just thinking…plus, if you look at Tankathon, it’s Dallas that really F’ed us. They win vs Miami and Wash has worse opponent win %.

Pats could slide all the way to 8 maybe 9 I believe if they win out and I totally see RK trying to sell “the team is trending” to the base.

 

[festy1986]

Who they gonna spend it on? A bunch of 30 year old wideouts? With no one to throw to them?

It's not just About the QB prospect. This also cost them potentially 5 drafting slots per round.

If Bill is here, he's gonna trade out anyway.

 

[VectorPrime]

They’re gonna win week 18 and Belichick is gonna talk that stupid bastard Kraft into bringing him back. Fu.ck everyone.

 

[Lavictoire]

thrilled with this win. cant decide…zappe or ryland jersey before they sell out.
