    Popular myth vs. reality article that addresses some widespread beliefs

    Saw this on ESPN while I was combing their homepage for scores. It covers a nice handful of popular fan theories like whether or not Brady gets more roughing the passer calls than other QBs, if sitting on the timeout in SB49 vs. SEA was on purpose, if Belichick’s choice to go with left footed...

    Let's talk about the OL

    It's obviously a major part of the offense and one of our main concerns heading into TC. What would be the "ideal" OL if it were up to you? What players do you see making the 53 man roster? Let's throw some ideas out there. I'll get it started by listing three pluses and minuses. PROS 1)...

    Question re: appeals process, etc

    Can anyone help to verify some reasonable time frame in regards to Brady's options here? We have a couple of cases to go off, most recently the Saints and Peterson cases. Per the CBA, we know that the NFLPA has set up an appeals process, which would then be followed by arbitration. These 2...

    If anyone needs a hotel room in Phoenix

    Please let me know. Apparently, my wife reserved one (non-refundable) in case one of our teams made it--DAL or NE. We recently found out last Friday night that our German Shepard has lymphoma and the early estimates for his treatment are between 6-8 thousand. Needless to say, it's not looking...

    "Everyone's got a Bill Belichick story" (Great NBC Sports article)

    Title says it all. Lots of great one-liners and stories about our HC from some of the great players and announcers. Figured that I'd share. Not an extremely long read, but a very good one if you haven't already seen it. http://sportsworld.nbcsports.com/everyones-got-a-bill-belichick-story/

    OT: 5 yr old from Foxborough has one dying wish--to receive lots of birthday cards

    MODS: If you don't mind, could we possibly keep this on the main forum for a couple/few days? Thank you. I'm sure that some of you living in the area have already seen this, but here is the link from ABC7: 5-Year-Old Boy With Cancer Hopes For Birthday Cards | ABC7 News "A 5-year-old boy with...

    OSU's Bradley Roby charged with DUI (OVI in Ohio)

    Uh-oh.... May lead to a bit of a drop for the Buckeye CB. Hate to see these guys getting into trouble so close to the draft! What in the world are they thinking? http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/04/24/bradley-roby-charged-with-operating-a-vehicle-under-the-influence/

    Logan Ryan possibly moving to safety?

    I think we've talked about this recently, but the general consensus was that he'd be taking over the "SS" role that Gregory had held down (understanding that we don't necessarily designate SS/FS). Now, according to Karen Guregian, Logan Ryan may actually take over McCourty's position, thus...

    Belichick simulating opposition (Wall St Journal article)--Thanks to Ian for the link

    Here is a great article from the Wall St Journal as it pertains to Belichick's moves made on the practice squad to help simulate real game players. It proves that he continues to be a step ahead in his use of all 61 slots, and provides an insight on why they so often change. It was the reason...

    Any chance that the Patriots could possibly lure TE Gonzalez back for one more year?

    I know that we've talked previously around the trade deadline a couple of months ago, but IF there were any chance whatsoever of any team having the capacity to bring him back for one final season, one would think that Brady/Belichick etc would be it. Gonzalez recently spoke of the situation...

    Belichick purposely allowed DEN to run on us Sunday night

    It should be noted that in reviewing the game film, the Patriots refused to change their approach to try and combat the run. On 90/90 plays including overtime, Belichick chose to continue to stay in a nickle defense, at one time even substituting Hightower out for Dane Fletcher making our run...

    NE/CIN observations

    I don't do many observation threads, but since I'm feeling down due to the loss and wish to kill some time while my wife watches the DAL/DEN debacle, I figured I'd give it a go on some of the things I noticed today: 1. I've been speaking loudly about the fumbling issues throughout LeGarette...

    Dennard violation hearing postponed...a whopping 10 days

    The original violation of probation hearing that was scheduled for tomorrow has apparently been postponed until next Friday 9/6. As we know, Dennard has already been arraigned on the violation of probation charges as of last month, and was scheduled to go in front of the judge tomorrow...

    Finding a gem in the WR free agency list (more realistic options)

    It's my opinion that this team will not spend the kind of money necessary for a "bigger name" WR who many here clamor for, so I would instantly cross someone like D.Bowe/G.Jennings off the list pretty much immediately. Others may feel differently, but I just think that there are many hints to...

    Article stating why it makes more sense to be the #4 seed

    At first this article seemed a bit silly to me, but after thinking it over for a minute it may very well be much better to drop to the #4 seed to gain matchups that may be more favorable. That would of course, mean losing out in the finale at home vs MIA, as Belichick would obviously wait and...

    Contract question for the experts RE: Myron Pryor

    Apologies if this is not in relation to the Myron Pryor situation, but I came across this article today which mentions a new provision in the current CBA that allows a player in the last yr of their contract to be retained if left on PUP all year. The example set forth is for Bears WR Johnnie...

    LB Bobby Carpenter coming back to Pats

    With Manning coming to town and Hightower dealing with a hamstring issue, it's no suprise. Carpenter should be able to provide a better coverage LB than what T.White brings to the table, which is no knock on his ST play, but he shouldn't be out there too much either.

    "Ignore the noise"

    Says the sign in the locker room... Let's remember that this is a team who will most likely compete very hard throughout the year, and a bad start (by a point and 2 points) shouldn't make that much of a difference. I am all for speaking one's mind and respecting others' opinions, but...

    Any interest in trying to recoup Thomas Welch for a developmental PS player?

    I saw that Thomas Welch was released today by Philly. As many know he was on our practice squad last year around Thanksgiving, until being signed off the PS by St.Louis. We originally drafted him, although I believe it may have been to be a guard, as St.Louis and Philly both used him as a...

    Wes Welker Speculation thread (pure opinion)

    First of all, let me apologize ahead of time for those who will take this the wrong way. This thread isn't going to gain me any popularity points here, but since it's kind of a down time, let's go over this again regarding the situation of Wes Welker and his future here: REASONS WHY HE...
