I have to imagine going forward with Skinner and Chris White seeing significant time is not a viable option in the long run. What are the options for replacement? Fleming? Big Nickel with Browner? Trade (I mentioned Akeem Ayers as a possibility in another thread as he has fallen out of...

Being out in the Midwest, I don't have as much access to the local Boston media as I'd like. Has anyone heard anything since he was put on PUP? Is he getting healthier? I keep thinking this can be the only explanation for BB carrying so few DTs.

I know they're not common, but this a year I would really like to see BB make a move before the trade deadline. One guy I would like to see them target is Kerry Rhodes. He's a guy that made a lot of plays against the Pats when he was with the Jets. I know he's signed with AZ under a large...

I'm not sure if this is just because I watch the Pats so frequently and intently, but it seems to me our draw and screen game has become extremely predictable. Maybe it is because nobody fears us completing anything beyond 10 yards, but it does seem the draws and screens are being shut down a...

This defense is flat out terrible. I have no idea if it's BB's schemes, the players or anything else, but there is no more denying the awfulness that is the 2010 Pats D. We have faced two terrible offenses back to back and made them look amazing. The Buffalo Bills have nothing on O and we...

I understand BB is one of the best coaches of all time, and he is a major reason the Pats have won three Superbowls, but every coach's time runs out. Based on the remaining schedule, I can realistically see 6-7 more losses this season. What happens if the Pats finish 9-7 or 8-8 and miss the...

I am usually very pessimistic when it comes to the Pats going after big name players in free agency or in trade scenarios. However, I am starting to wonder if there is something to the unsubstantiated rumors of the Pats being in the mix for this guy. Didn't Michael Holley or someone else on...

Does anybody know where I can find Brady's 4th qtr QB rating broken out by year? I'm not sure if it is just my cynicism, or if Brady really has been coming up very short in 4th quarters in recent years. I would like to see what the actual numbers show. Sadly, it seems I now find myself...

I am sick of hearing the Patriot Defense talking points about everybody needs to "do their jobs". This defense needs more than that. They need people who can simply beat the players in front of them. For the most part, WR's beat our DB's, TE's beat our LB's and S's, OL beat our DL. With the...

This Brady the union guy thing is starting to really become irritating. Unions of any type have completely outlived their purpose. Brady states, "we want the money going to the players." Who is he to say that? He is an employee of the New England Patriots, nothing more. The owners should be...

I have read Silver's report about the supposedly growing disconnect between the Pats and Brady. I didn't really get anything solid out of this report as it seemed to be full of opinion and speculation. There did not seem to be anything concrete in the article at all. However, I was just...

Is anybody in this draft worth giving that pick up? I only ask because it is very possible Oakland could have the first pick in the 2011 draft which could involve slotting rookie pay. My ideal scenario would be for the Pats to keep that pick and have a legitimate shot at Jake Locker from...

I preface my comments by admitting I don't know what the cap impact of cutting Moss amounts to. I know I've said this before, but I think it's (Moving on without Moss) necessary for the Pats to get back to contending for a championship. It seems that in the last couple of years the Pats...

I know this is a very unpopular thing to say, but I firmly believe the Pats would be a better football team right now with Matt Cassel at QB. Brady's long admired accuracy and pocket awareness have been missing this season. I recorded the Ravens and Broncos game and have watched both several...

This guy continually is getting pushed into the backfield on running plays. I have no idea what the team sees in him, but he is always being manhandled. Can somebody let me know what this guy does well? He seems like a nice guy, and I'm sure he is one of those "smart" players that BB so...

I know a lot of the pundits keep saying things like, "if Haynesworth got xxx, what is Peppers worth?" I personally don't think Peppers has put himself in position to ask for that kind of money. I believe he may have lost that leverage when he made it crystal clear he wants to play OLB in a...

I do not believe the Pats addressed their most pressing need whatsoever in this draft or offseason. Last year was so frustrating to watch simply because of how bad they were on 3rd and long. I know I've said this before, but it got to the point where I actually expected teams to convert 3rd...

1. Resign Wilfork 2. Draft best 3-4 hybrid DE at 23. I would give a name here but there are several I would be happy with us taking. 3. With one of the picks in the 2nd round, take Jarron Gilbert to replace Seymour next yr. Not just because of his jumping out of the pool Youtube video...

The Pats need to significantly upgrade their OLB before next season. I don't think need #2 (WR in my opinion) is even close. As I have stated in other threads, of all the 3-4 teams, I would put the Pats current OLB position near the bottom. The guys people on this board seem to talk about...

Why in the world do so many people on this board want Chris Long? Of all of the projected top picks, he is the absolute worse pick for us. Where is he going to play in a 3-4? Not mobile or fast enough for LB, and not stout enough for D-Line. The Pats D needs to get faster. I don't know why...
