Might as well not watch them this year if that's the case.
I thought NFL GAF long had Brady listed as the catcher?

I think the defense will be better this year. At least the front 7.

Yeah, it's hard to really disagree.
Pats are stupid for releasing him, he's innocent! The only thing he's guilty of is smoking a little ganja and having some criminal friends who include him in their murdering and have him shoot the guy sometimes even though he has a lot to lose and probably shouldn't do anything to get in trouble because his life right now is pretty cool.
Get it through your thick skulls, NFL-Gaf.

Patriots aren't building a stout defense. They're building one to slow down running offenses.

They cant be any worse than the last few years.
I cannot tell if you are serious with these posts about MJ. His fiance's sister was dating the guy murdered. That in no way suggests a marijuana connection at all. He very well might hardly ever smoke marijuana and still test positive for it because the drug remains in fat cells long after it has been smoked . longer then almost any other drug.
No they are definitely building a balanced defense, they got their pass rushers the past 2 drafts and their secondary is looking much better. They really shouldn't be a push over like last year. Lots of young talent in the secondary.
Yup. Defense is stuck in the past. I love Jones, but for the most part everyone else around him(except big Vince of course) is mediocre to bad. I love Spikes, but he can't cover anyone.
And this is were you are wrong. They can be worse actually much worse. Pats are going to be playing much closer games, and the offense isn't going to be putting pressure on the other teams like they used to.
No look at their linebackers. None of them can cover anyone. They are a run stopping team that can occasionally get at the QB.

Hernandez was my favorite Patriot. Now I have to find a new fave.
It was written more then once. Baltimore fans are delusional, but Patriot fans are tripal AAA delusional even about the sex of their QB.
Edit: Autocorrect is horrible.
Because he was a Gator? Racist.

No because he was good.

If 7 NBA players get arrested in the next 5 months then i'll see your point.
They can easily move on without Hernandez. Gronk. Not so much. It just stinks they can't use any of his cap hit money next year because he's a scumbag.
I'm still stunned they cut him, though I guess I shouldn't be. The NFL is ever media conscious. "Former Patriots player Aaaron Hernandez arraigned" is a lot better than "Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez arraigned"
Now I have to hold my breath that Fisher doesn't claim him off of waivers. I'm only sort of joking

The additions the Patriots have made this offseason, like Armstead, Kelly, and Adrian Wilson, all suggest an added emphasis on covering the pass over stopping the run. I also think Jamie Collins can become the coverage linebacker they need, as well as Wilson, and Dane Fletcher was decent in coverage in 2011.
It will require a lot of "If" scenarios to unfold, but if Talib can stay healthy and if the Patriots can find a decent third pass rusher behind Jones and Ninkovich (possibly Francis taking the next step or Michael Buchanan), then I think the defense has the opportunity to be much improved. Unless a rash of injuries occur, I think it's very unlikely that the defense will be worse than the 2010-2012 stretch. That being said, your point about the defense no longer benefitting from the offense putting them in blowout situations is spot on. Close games will test them considerably more.
Thank you for supporting Browns-GAF.
Unlike ray aaron is guilty
wtf, what a dumb idea. i hoped that they could pick up a couple of veterans with the money aaron would have made.

Was the Browns player the same guy who sold weed at practice?

Lmao, there was really a guy literally selling at Browns practice?
Goddamn, these players just can't leave the hood alone can they?
Nope. Never heard of this guy.
Armonty Bryant, our 6th round pick, was arrested at a HS practice (I think) for selling weed.

He sold it in college I think.
That's because the Browns are stuck in the past. They need to take lessons from the new breed of PAC coaches, i.e. Pete, Kelly, Harbs, and distribute their drugs in the locker room.
We're winning at least one against the Pats this year.

Beat EviLore at pool.
Tebow is the only one that can save the Pats.
Their only really tough games are against the other AFC division winners and Atlanta. I think they still will take this pretty easily. Worse scenario to me is 6 loses with that schedule for the Pats still.
I still can't believe he (or his friends) are stupid enough to throw the body away a mile away.
And the charges have to be more than obstruction, since if it was only obstruction, Im sure if he sold out his loser-bro friend he would have gotten some nice deal. Maybe hes a dumbass and wont see out his friend, or maybe he was actually there cheering the dudes on.
Either way, wat a dumbass.
