Stop making excuses bro the Pats lost fair and square!!!
Real cracks?
You saw a pats team with lack of experience on offense and massive injuries on defense make it to the AFCCG, and really only begin to unravel once Talib once again went off with a boo-boo?
That was the beginning of the end?

Don't see it happening anytime soon until the rest of the division gets their heads out of their asses.
This coming from a guy who is tired of Brady vs Manning 74 or whatever number they are on

Just imagine how it feels to pull for one of the teams in that division.
Belichick on Mankins: "Logan Mankins is everything we would ever want in a football player. It is hard to imagine a better player at his position, a tougher competitor or a person to represent our program. He is one of the all-time great Patriots and the best guard I ever coached. Logan brought a quiet but unmistakable presence and leadership that will be impossible to duplicate. Unfortunately, this is the time of year when difficult decisions have to be made - and this is one of the most difficult we will ever make - but like every other decision it was made for what we feel is in the best interests of the team."

Pats have the cap space they just didn't think he was worth the money.

Something about playing with Peyton drives kickers to drink.
That's still 8 million dollars in dead money for a player not on the team :/. It sucks!
I can imagine.
At least when we were really terrible in our early years the Jags and Titans rotated on pushing the Colts
8 million in dead money or 27 in money tied up to a player not performing well enough to earn even half of that?
Pretty easy decision.
Hey guys I'm new here and I'm from the UK, I've always enjoyed watching the Super Bowl so I decided this year I'm going to follow the season and see if I can start to understand the game better. I've always enjoyed the games I've watched so I just thought I'd post in here as I'll most likely have many questions over the season and it looks like fun
Choose Falcons.
They're on Hard Knocks this year so you could watch that and get acquainted with the team and the game. They also play a game in London this year which maybe you could go to in person who knows.
Also, their quarterback is Matt Ryan, who as you can clearly see has two first names. TWO.
We also have the most hilarious, weird touchdown celebration dance in league history.
Being a Falcons fan is great. No other fans in the league suffer in quite the same exquisite way that Falcons fans do. Our suffering is....poetic.

$27m will buy Kraft's whore a lot of acting lessons.
Salt is strong, yankee what would your kid in the future think if she read such a potty mouth you had!
Perhaps but I can't help but be annoyed at the signing then in the first place. The Patriots get praised for most of their moves but this one is puzzling to me with their line play being iffy.
Do you need a timeout bro?

Oh dont you worry about her hating the Pats. I have already been explaining these important matters to her. Hopefully her first sentence will be fuck the Pats.
No I am having a great day. It is usually the Eagles making shitty moves like this so it is nice to see it happening to a team I hate for once.
In the NFL, if you can play special teams, you can have a roster spot. Especially if you're 6'2 215lbs and can run a 4.3 forty. I always liked DHB even though he couldn't catch worth a damn. He came to work and worked his ass off everyday in practice.

If we can get to Brady we have a shot week 1

Just make sure you don't leave your underwear on some stranger's towel. He might post about it on GAF.

It would help if you outscored us too
No doubt. Division games just became a lot tougher. Dolphins, Jets, and Bills all have pretty stellar defensive lines that will give our interior fits.
If only it were that easy. Ask veterans like Kave about his experience with "good" quarterbacks.

Choose the Vikings. Were fun but mediocre with lots of talent. Potential to get a lot better.
Get on the bandwagon!
You act like the Broncos were perfectly healthy.
Von Miller, Chris Harris, Kevin Vickerson, Ryan Clady, Raheem Moore, Derek Wolfe were all injured for the AFC Championship.
Not to mention a hobbled Champ Bailey, an old ass LB who I can't even remember his name who played in the XFL, and backups who all are pretty much gone held Brady in check.
Pot Roast, Irving, and Trevathan are all that remain from that starting squad iirc.
Now it could have been a bad game by the Pats, or the injuries, but they looked real bad that day facing a depleted defense. Cant really use the injury excuse when key players on both sides were gone.

Bey gonna be our number 1 when he's cut.
I think Kave would have a breakdown.

Shame Jordan went and got suspended...idiot.
Saints did it and ended up winning a SB.
of course they also used corners off the street in the game against the Pats because sometimes thats enough. I think it was an ex Raven Mcallister and old man McKenzie in that game.

My biggest concerns:
1. Growing pains of the offense manifested in ways such as snapping to Tannehill when he isn't ready or Tannehill throwing an idiotic INT because he wasn't on the same page as his WR's. Basically classic "lolphins" stuff happening where they beat themselves.
2. Covering Gronk. Who is going to do this? Delmas? Any of the LB's? I can see him eating us alive.

The Patriots lost more key players though.
Carl Nicks was an amazing player. The locker room was full of disease.

Do we really want to argue a pissing match about who was more hurt in the AFCCG?

#1 seems to be a concern every season.. :/
#2...Is he cleared to play? Because if he is...fuck.
Screw Carl Nicks because the Bucs are too cheap to properly sanitize their locker room?
lol ok.
