| New England Patriots 2007-2008 Posted: 9/5/2007 3:19:57 PM | no goddamn way did touchdown tommy get outplayed. and if you people continue this blasphemy i'll be forced to ..to..hold my breath. the golden boy getting out played.ha, that's like saying bullishek got out coached. it just could never happen | |
|
| New England Patriots 2007-2008 Posted: 9/5/2007 3:31:24 PM | "what?....blaming the offense?...so...are you saying the golden boy got outplayed?"
Brady DIDN'T get outplayed... Reche Caldwell did. So did the linebacker's in the second half. | |
|
| New England Patriots 2007-2008 Posted: 9/5/2007 4:32:42 PM | Last year was last year and I know the Patriots are not dwelling on the past. They have upgraded on almost every position this year, so the odds of falling apart due to Harrison's 4 game, Mosses attitude, or even Tom Brady's new baby will not distract this team. They have come over adversity several times and they will come over this one too.
Thank goodness Caldwell was released........ | |
|
| New England Patriots 2007-2008 Posted: 9/5/2007 4:48:04 PM | i told you e!!!! brady didn't get outplayed. it was someone elses fault. now go light a candle | |
|
| New England Patriots 2007-2008 Posted: 9/5/2007 7:33:22 PM | Eman, filthy.... Why are you trying to break it down to one player or coach? The PATRIOTS' offense, with a make shift bunch of receivers, got outplayed by a Colts D playing its best game to that point. And it STILL came down to a dropped pass. It was NO ONE PLAYER'S 'fault'. And I believe the question YOU asked was, " isn't that the same defense that......", to which the answer is STILL ....NO. Better yet for this year....it's not the same offense either. Will it be a huge improvement? Probably. Will it guarantee them a SB win? HELL no. But it improves their chances. PLEASE GOD, let the games BEGIN!!!! | |
|
| New England Patriots 2007-2008 Posted: 9/5/2007 7:41:50 PM | I do have a small question for you, eman and filthy. Is there a reason the two of you aren't rallying in support of your OWN team(s) rather than throwing barbs at someone else's? You spend your time throwing out incorrect statistics and narrow minded generalizations that attempt to break the game down below the team level just to denigrate a team you don't care for. I have been objective and polite, and simply supporting my favorite team while you toss out your inane diatribe. It is sophomoric and tiresome. | |

| New England Patriots 2007-2008 Posted: 9/5/2007 10:48:42 PM | | @ marks i thought this was a pats thread thats why i posted my toughts on them, if it hits a nerve well..... tough shit. | |
|
| New England Patriots 2007-2008 Posted: 9/5/2007 10:53:26 PM | | and you know what?.....i was never a bronco fan. couldn't stand them. but ... i hope that if the steelers don't win the trophy the broncos do. only because the pats fans say some of the dumbest shit. and the lone bronco fan on these pages at least has a grasp of reality | |

I have said this many times. When the pats win a game by the other team turning the ball over, everyone is gushing on how "thats how the pats win the tough games....making the other team turn the ball over".....
but as soon as a team beats the pats at there own game....(broncos beating the pats in divisional playoff game in 2005)....then everyone says...."pats lost the game...broncos didnt win it"...If you look at that game, shanny dominated billecheck coaching in that game....brady was confused all game with our blitzing, our offense was doing what it wanted, and we forced some huge turnovers.....all I heard from pats fans was "well...if we didnt turn the ball over so much...that game was ours....
ironic...pitt beat us at our own game....we couldnt figure them out the next game...and got our asses handed to us at home...that game was over at kickoff...
when indy beat you...all i hear is how.."one dropped pass changed the whole game".....our linebackers were gassed.....for all those excuses...didnt the golden boy have the ball last?...and didnt he make a bad throw?...(i know im not suppose to say "brady makes bad throws"..it happens trust me)...again..pats never lose a game..its always something they did wrong to blow the game.....
I respect the pats. they have three rings...conversation ends there. but when the pats get beat, i just want pats fans to say...."we got beat"...instead of "well...if we would have......" | |
|
| New England Patriots 2007-2008 Posted: 9/6/2007 12:45:19 AM | Give me some quotes that people have said these things......
Everybody gets upset about the tuck rule, but the Pats never made that rule. The NFL did, but you use excuses too, stating the Pats won because of the tuck rule. Then you say the Pats barely won their games because of close scoring games, but if you look at last year so did the Colts. Also Pats won last years game against San Diego because of bad coaching calls.....whatever you say. This has gone both ways with people making excuses, but the proof is in the pudding and week 1 starts Sunday. | |

| New England Patriots 2007-2008 Posted: 9/6/2007 5:21:31 AM | | So, what are the Pats fans thoughts on the Jets game? Should be a tough test right out of the gate.It will be interesting to see how the timing is between Brady and the new receivers and how well the D comes together with the recent shuffling (Samuel's return, injuries, Harrison issue). I am ready. | |

| New England Patriots 2007-2008 Posted: 9/6/2007 5:35:13 PM | eman doesn't remember when all of the sports reporters sucked on Elway's jock when his brokebacks were in their dynasty.
The stealers had plenty of media coverage also... so filthy can get a dirty sanchez from eman for all of that.
Onward...
The Jets game will be a good old rivalry; so it should be a good game. Of course the Pats win it | |
|

| New England Patriots 2007-2008 Posted: 9/6/2007 9:17:52 PM | I think that the media is sucking on Peewee Womaning MUCH more than Brady... just look at all of the terrible commercials that they try ramming down our throats.
ESPN is strangely all Pats though... usually they're not. | |

the guy actually knows a lot about the game...one of the few smart ones on the 4 letter network...but damm...his head is huge for his body... | |

Yeah, but ESPN has always been the biggest bandwagon jumpers and front runners of sports networks. Just a few years ago, John Clayton and Chris Berman had Kurt "Flash in the Pan" Warner and the so-called Greatest Show on Turf labeled as the greatest dynasty ever.... That's just how ESPN rolls....they are all for flash. I figure that the Moss Syndrome is why ESPN is so interested in the Pats this year. They never really jumped on the Pats bandwagon during the SB wins cause those teams weren't flashy like the Colts with Peyton Manning or any team Moss, TO or Chad Johnson played on. Remember that about ESPN....Entertainment in their monnicker comes before Sports does...

| New England Patriots 2007-2008 Posted: 9/9/2007 3:45:17 PM | [has anyone seen randy moss lately??]
Ask Tom Brady....I think he spotted him 9 times for 183 yards and a TD this afternoon. I wonder what Moss could have done today if he wasn't washed up?
Pats looked great...so did the Colts, Steelers, and a couple of other teams. It's week one, but the fun has begun!! | |
|
| New England Patriots 2007-2008 Posted: 9/9/2007 6:12:33 PM | I can't wait until the classic showdown. Colts Vs. Patroits again in AFC final.
We'll see how healthy both teams can stay, but ya can't count out Steelers, Chargers or maybe even the Ravens to challenge that conferance. Its gonna be an exciting year for the AFC. | |
|
| New England Patriots 2007-2008 Posted: 9/9/2007 6:21:01 PM | Speaking of Chargers...I do believe the Bolts will be travelling to Foxboro next week. All this talk about how loaded both teams are....this is gonna be a good game. As much as I hate to side with anything that has to do with Randy Moss, I'ma prolly take the Pats in this game when I do my Yahoo picks. That might be bad news....I had an awful week one...including last play of the game field goal losses 3 times (I picked the Bills, Dolphins and Eagles to win). | |
|
| New England Patriots 2007-2008 Posted: 9/9/2007 6:37:32 PM | | Next week should be a great game. Pressure will be the key for the Chargers; Welker and Faulk could be really busy as check off receivers. Chargers will also need to run the ball well to keep Brady off the field. Pats need to key on the run and trust there DB's to stay with the Bolts receivers. Adalius Thomas could be a key on D, probably getting to stay with Gates across the middle. We'll also find out about the Pats "aging LB's" since they will need to plug holes to keep the Chargers' running game under control. No blowout here....27-24...but who gets the 27? | |
|
| New England Patriots 2007-2008 Posted: 9/9/2007 7:00:12 PM | Vrabel was a monster today... he was almost never even talked about.
Moss was really washed up today, not really that good of a game ;-)
The oline really played well today.
The only guy that stunk today, was Matt Cassell. | |
|
| New England Patriots 2007-2008 Posted: 9/9/2007 7:50:06 PM | | don't be fooled by that steeler blowout. cleveland is as bad as people thought they were. brady quinn probably pissed his pants hoping he didn't have to go in.. moss played well today and i'll give it up to him. | |
