Pats Off-season

[BS1]

you are forgetting one main name on that list....

[rearadmiral]

Because it wasn't known when he posted.

Big Bang done.

[AY]

Brandon Tate gone as well

[DC]

Interesting note from Peter King:


New England cut the 24th pick of the 2007 draft, safety Brandon Meriweather, and added free-agent Pro Bowl guard, Brian Waters. You know what says it all about Brandon Meriweather? That there was more interest over the last few days in signing James Sanders when Bill Belichick let him go (Atlanta won out over Kansas City) than there was in dealing for a two-time Pro Bowl safety with a reasonable 2011 salary ($1.65 million).

Meriweather twice back-doored the phony-baloney Pro Bowl by making it as an alternate. Emboldened by thinking he'd arrived, he never worked like he should have to be a great player. The difference between Rodney Harrison and Meriweather? Harrison worked every day like he was trying to be great; Meriweather thought he was great before he really was.

By the way, kudos to Belichick for letting Sanders walk last Monday, when he had time to catch on with a team and have some extra time to learn the defense well enough to play opening day.

The Brian Waters signing is right out of my Madden franchise owners manual.

With the board being dead this year I can make up stuff to post here.


Pats go 14-2 have to beat the Ravens and the Jets in the playoffs to win the Super bowl.

[B Luc]

Who are they facing in the super bowl?

[lugnutz]

I think Green bay...but I'd love to see Matty Ice and Atlanta get there. Probably resurrect the board!

[lugnutz]

Your 2011 Patriots Team Captains: Tom Brady & Logan Mankins (offense); Jerod Mayo, Devin McCourty & Vince Wilfork (defense); Matthew Slater (special teams)

[Section 40]

Pats opening tonight and its crickets around here?
I'm looking forward to finally being able to watch the Pats play for real. Some good games yesterday, a few big surprises, I hope we don't see more this p.m.

[lugnutz]

I was going to predict Pats 45 Fins 0 but after yesterday's odd happenings I feel I should revise it to expect the unexpected.


Pats 45 Fins 3

Hernandez is going to be huge tonight

[Section 40]

I'm not concerned about the offense at all. i am eagerly anticipating the turning loose of the newly revamped D-Line.

[AY]

This should air during the game tonight.

[Section 40]

500 yards passing and I'm the first to mention it...... An hour after the game. Sad

Not indicative of fandom, it's just a result of the apathy towards what was one of the better (Internet) time-killers at work.
