I’d like the Patriots to sign and start John Lynch. I’d love to see Favre air it out against an ancient/inexperienced secondary and have Keller going over the middle against an ancient/inexperienced linebacking corps.!

The Pats have always seemed to be capable of making “something out of nothing” with their defenses, but if you look closely, there was always significant talent there (Seymour is excellent, the linebackers were all smart and capable like Bruschi and versatile like Vrabel, and they’ve always had some seriously talented players in the secondary who’ve come and gone over the “mini-dynasty” years).

This is the first time I’ve felt that the talent level isn’t as good on the Pats’ D as it has been over the years. Hopefully I’m not forced to eat my words! The D-Line still has superb talents and the LB corps still is savvy and all, but the D-backfield is either pretty old or pretty raw.

this post from Aug. 29th shows you are half right

Gholston is not a bust he is a rookie playing a new position. The Jets made the right pick. It was a need and if they didn’t the Pats would have taken him. Then what would have all the negative people be saying right now.

Now Clemens is a bust and we can’t waste a roster spot on him with Mr. 253 consecetive games in a row on our team.

pat d,

What has Simms or Harrington ever done? They both suck.

So you’ve seen enough of KC to say he’s a bust? 8 games in his second year with a terrible OL, and you want to get rid of him. I bet your one of those who has labeled VG a bust also.

Klecko71-
They push every rule far more than any other team-like the injury report. The league could tighten all that but choose not to. I don’t disagree that the whole league pushes but nothing like the Pats. I personally agree that it should just stop and play football. Beli seems to think this all fine-so be it. We cut a guy he picks them up. Fine Let’s just play football. Do you see the Cowboys picking up every Giant that’s cut or visa versa? It is just a bunch of crap.

My feeling is that the Pats are on the fade. Their defense is full of past prime guys, they cheat and Brady is a true scum bag…as is their head coach.

I feel their time is up, and they are ready to be challenged. The Giants gave all teams a road map on how to get it done, and we have the guys on defense to mess with shake up, bother and intimidate Brady.

May the football gods be moved by the lack of integrity and character NE is so full of, may the Jets jell as a team and realize the potential they have, and please just let us beat them once this season.

Because if we do we will make the playoffs…and like the Giants last year just maybe its our turn.

The only QB that KC is as good as on that list is Bollinger. I just added him as a joke. Besides these QBs Brady Quinn or Derek Anderson will be available next year.

THIS IS WHY I DON’T LIKE THE PRESEASON. ALL THE GOOD PLAYS ARE LEFT FOR THE REGULAR SEASON. THESE PLAYS ARE PROBABLY HIDDEN FROM EVERYONE TO PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM SOMEONE BEING PICKES BY ANOTHER TEAM AND AND HAVING THEM SELL THOSE PLAYS. THE PRESEASON GAMES ARE AS BORING AS THE PROBOWL. BUT WITH AVERAGE PLAYERS OF COURSE. IT’S TIME TO PLAY TO WIN THE GAME…

LET’S GET IT STARTED!!!!

Sack,

I agree, Eugene Wilson would be a good pickup. I don’t think Lynch has anything left other then playing in the box to stop the run.

pat d,

KC is as good or better then Harrington, Simms, and Bollinger, and IMO is actually better. Culpepper is not a good fit for us. You make KC out to be Rick Mirer, he has not had a chance yet, and last season was not a chance, not with the OL we had. It’s 50/50 whether Favre will play next year, we need to have QB’s on the roster.

If we were to get rid of KC (we’re not), he would just go out and be a good QB for someone else ala Jeff Blake.
