Patriots/NFL Off Season talk - Draft Day 2022 - Patriots bringing back red uniforms and Pat Patriot helmets

[CDJ]

Bill. He hasn’t won a single thing without a quarterback named Brady. He’s coming off a season where they barely got into the playoffs and had their teeth kicked in, and now he’s playing games with the offensive coaches. It’s flat out stupid.

Ppl always say it’s Brady but iirc Develin went down and then the offense w Brady started to tank as well. Develin had to retire

Perhaps James Develin was the reason for the 2nd leg of the dynasty

 

[Maine Fan]

Again, no. You do you. I’ll root for the team and follow it however I want.

I am doing me. I declared the Pats. You are right; I shouldn't pick for you, but it seems you want pain, so I am suggesting it because I assume that pain isn't good for you. Have a nice day.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

There's a difference between thinking a fellow fan is hoping for doom and gloom and pain and them actually being a realist and seeing things the way they are.

 

[Troublesome 85]

Thats it @LSCII chose pain

 

[DangleCity]

Whats positive about this team? Mac is the only positive. Defense is still old and bleh and they didnt really improve. Offense the same.

There RB group is really good, there line should be definitely above average. They still have one of the better TE's in the league in Henry. At WR they have some wild cards in Nelson and the speedster Thornton. On defense I like their d line and safety group. LB is still obviously a big hole. The offense should be better with everyone including Mad having another year under their belt

 

[DangleCity]

Again, you do you. You want to be happy with the fact that Bill has decided to roll into this season with no actual qualified offensive coordinator in a crucial year of development for their young QB, go right ahead. I prefer to be more honest and real about how fundamentally idiotic that move is.

Things can change. Just because they haven't named one or the public doesn't know, doesn't mean they won't have one.

 

[EverettMike]

They won two Super bowls with Patricia calling defensive plays and I couldn't have been happier when Detroit hired him.

Marion Barber is dead at 38

I know life has been rough for him after his playing career. Wouldn’t shock me to see extreme CTE here given his running style

Man, if the Rams were in cap jail before Donald deal they must be on cap death row now!!!

NYT did a fun new piece on Watson, and it's pretty revolting.

66 women in 17 months. Real sexual predator behavior. Bauer got 2 years from MLB, how soft does the NFL want to look?

 

[CDJ]

SO MANY PPL

i dont see how ppl could still be on Watson’s side in the court of public opinion. That’s A LOT of mental gymnastics somebody would have to do to end up there

Trevor Bauer tweeted him congratulations for overcoming "lies and BS" when he got traded to Cleveland and signed his contract.

So yeah.

Gronk was an excellent run blocking TE as well, little things that don't get appreciated as much, their yards per carry and Rush Offense dropped off big time his first season after retirement.

Bauer might be a creep and a weird dude, but MLBs suspension was entirely over the top based on what I have read.

This Watson case is different in that there doesn't seem to be evidence to support any of the victims wanted to engage or knew what was coming ahead of time. Is Watson on the exempt list right now?

 

[quietbruinfan]

The Nfl is by far the harshest-and usually quickest- with their discipline among all sports. I can't believe Watson is not on the exempt list yet. It has to happen.

Why is Bill cancelling practices with new coaches, new offense, new play caller, 2nd year QB, etc?

Probably realized it doesn't matter how much they practice.

Gronk "retires". We'll see how long it lasts

 

[EverettMike]

f*** him, too.

 

[KrejciMVP]

still remember that 1st year with Gronk and Hernandez

 

[Alicat]

Good riddance.

 

[EverettMike]

Good riddance.

That's exactly right.

Awful stuff. Seems like a high quality person (on top of having a great nickname)
