But it's Day 1 and we're already losing the off-season!

 

[TheRainMaker]

How did the Pats lose the Super Bowl ? Honestly, I’d like to hear people’s responses.

They lost because the OL was awful and they Seahawks exploited it. The Pats also didn't have WR's that can get open quickly enough which included Diggs. Diggs can no longer beat man coverage and had defenders constantly dragging him down immediately after he'd catch the ball.

OL needs a C and G. People thinking Wilson is the favorite at C is straight up insanity.

Defense cracked because they were constantly on the field.

I’d definitely like the player but I’m not sure it’s a priority

Seems like a high priority to me.

Seems to me that You win and Lose on the line.

Yeah but I’m not sure they’re going to spend on the OLine and in FA this year. We’ll see though it’s only day 1

OL should be #1 priority.

Damn the Raiders are winning the off season... without Ben Dreith's help

Shaheed to Seattle 3yrs 51 mill, expected

Still time but as of right now we currently have a team that's worse than last year, funny when we had Brady we heard all that Kraft BS about how big an advantage the rookie QB contract is for teams and we have one at like 50m under his true value and aren't maximizing it.

We got zero star skill players on offense and 2 cheap tackles.

Good thing it's 6:30 pm on the first day of free agency.

The Pat's didn't call any plays to have the WR get open quickly.

Me personally, I think we lost the Super Bowl because our offense couldn’t do ****, and our defense was on the field all day. Our QB didn’t have time because of a porous Oline. Our receivers & TEs disappeared in the playoffs. Our offense averaged 14 points in the playoffs.

They cut their best WR, so now their WR room is bottom 5 in the NFL. They need to fix the Oline. They have ONE NFL tight end. The offense needs serious help. There needed to be more urgency in day 1 of Free Agency, I’m not seeing a front offense trying to fix problems. Unless our new Fullback is gonna also play LG, WR & TE, I have every reason to be extremely concerned about their lack of urgency.

We lost the SB largely in part because of our lack of depth. We were too injured, including Drake.

The fact that the Pats made it to the SB so early in the rebuild was amazing.

I’m sure Vrabel is well aware we are ahead of schedule and will build the team accordingly, to last.

Let’s also not entirely let Drake off the hook. He played VERY poorly in the Superbowl. There were plays to be made, and he didn’t.

Yes, he was under pressure, but that will happen. The great ones make you pay for pressure when it counts.

Do think they need to shore up the line, and add some quickness but Drake also needs to be much better against good teams.

C’mon people - what happened to “We alk we got - we all we need”??!!

Oops! Forgot the new slogan, “we’re looking for the better, younger, cheaper player”!! Just didn’t clarify when the search would commence - certainly wasn’t today!

 

[Huckleberry1]

But Vrabel has only been with the team for a year but according to Patriot fans he’s been at it for years.

26 years to be exact, that's why they can't draft receivers.

I think “cheaper” did.

 

[Wozzy]

Good thing it's 6:30 pm on the first day of free agency.

And they still have 30 or so roster spots to fill, and 11 draft picks before they reach their limit of 90 for camp.

The NFL really needs to expand the offseason and free agency from its current 3 1/2 hours

 

[Joey007]

Little unhappy now. Guard market is dry besides older stop gap kinda guys. Would be a little confused if we sit on our hands and do nothing there.
