Patriots Fans

Why would that surprise you? He's the Drama Queen to end all drama queens in the NFL. LOL

Was yet again disappointed in my team yesterday, but I will not jump ship. #1) Chilly was outcoached (AGAIN). But then, even a jr. high coach could do that, let alone Belichick. #2) The defense has definitely taken a step backwards from the previous seasons, especially last year. They outgained them, and won the time of possession battle. Takes a special team to lose games when they do that. LOL Fire Chilly!!!!! (Should have been done a couple years ago, though).

Pats sitting on top with the best record in the NFL
Yes sill a long way to go, but don't it feel good to piss off all the haters
Farves press conference was pathetic

[VTDragon]

Great win vs Farve, Moss, Peterson and the rest of the Vikings.
Some thoughts:

Once again Belicheck out coached the opposition. Yes, I'm a Kool-Aid drinker.
Imagine what our running game would be like with a healthy Fred Taylor - I'm not disparaging either Green-Ellis or Woodhead, but give lots of Kudos to the offensive line. Great job by the big boys up front.
While passing out Kudos, the defensive line wasn't too bad on the goal line stance at the end of the half either. That stuff was great to see.
Wes Welker was the only starting receiver that Brady had yesterday who started last year (Tate was still recuperating) and now the Pats are atop the league. I wonder if the guy in the horseshoe hat could do that?
The defense is getting better every game. I still wish they would blitz more, but what do I know - Bill likes them playing soft.
Remember when the draft experts criticized Bill for drafting McCourty - how did you like that pick/steal he had, (2nd in 2 weeks).

I really like this team. They do not have the most talent in the league. They make mistakes and can be very frustrating at times, BUT-they play hard, they play with emotion, they never give up and they learn from their mistakes. Fun team to watch.

True, but come on Brad Childress?

I don't think Bill really strained himself.

Does Minny not even bother with a guy in the booth?

Even Marvin Lewis wouldn't make that challenge call on the should-have-been-intercepted Brandon Tate catch in the first half.

Moss loves the Pats so much, you think he will be asked back?
Vikes just waved him

I'm thinking Dallas... Jerry Jones is desperate

Chilly couldn't coach himself out of a wet paper bag. He gets outcoached EVERY game. Bill could have outcoached him with his eyes closed.

As for that goal-line stand, Chilly is known for bonehead calls like that...Run AWAY from your Pro-Bowl LG and LT...SMART move there, Major Dad. I am SO sick of him! Have not thought highly of him ever since I watched the idiocy that was his first season in MN. Last year they made it as far as they did despite him, not because of him!

Our (MN) D-line is not what it's supposed to be. I think that they read too much of their own hype, but it's possible that Father Time has caught up with Pat Williams, and that's affecting everything else. Of course, the missed tackles didn't help, either.

UGH!!!

Pretty good deal... the Pats got a 3rd round pick and Moss played for the Vikings for 4 games. I wonder how many Vikings fans ran out and picked up the new "84" jerseys. The Moss shorts are now deeply discounted at 2 locations.

It should be interesting to see where he lands. I wonder if the Jerry Jones makes a move... he's desparate! Plus he can realize his dream of landing Moss.

Iirc, the pats now have 2 first round, two second round, and two third round picks. They set themselves up because this was a "rebuilding year".
They're an amazing organization. It'll almost be a shame to see the Steelers step on them.

I've never seen them in the same room! That literally had me lol'ing.

[Bruins Fan]

Only way Moss will be back in Foxboro is if he buys a ticket.
Belichick got rid of all the bad apples and has taken back the locker room.
It's the Pats way or the highway

This has got to be the best line in this entire thread....

You're going to talk to Pat's fans about 'not jumping ship' ???
We suffered for almost 20 years! Suck it up!


Moss won't be back, no matter how much he drops his contract to. He is a great player that someday will be in the HoF, but he is too 'Me, Me, Me' oriented.
I'm not usually the 'wisened seer' of things, but the writing was on the wall after that Press meet...


We definitely looked better this weekend, and I'm diggin' the fact that Branch is back.


Now, I foresee Playoffs!

20 years....oooooohhh. LOL I'm 37 and have yet to see a title here. The franchise is in year 50 with no titles, too. They haven't even been to the big game since 1977.
