***OFFICIAL NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS SEASON THREAD*** (13-4) - Patriots @ Broncos - Sun 3:05PM EST - Bra

[str8drop]

 Man I'm disappointed, y'all boys know damn well our stingy *** front office didn't give him 9 mil straight up 

Agents always throw out the sticker price cause it makes them both look good but from what I've seen its up to 9 mil with a 3.2 mil signing bonus i.e.  bruh will have to hit every possible playing time incentive and roster bonus on the paperwork to see all that paid in full

I kinda like the signing tho for depth and versatility reasons, the two things BB loves the most 

 

When Vollmer went down last year at RT he actually filled in pretty well. He's been inconsistent as hell this year but he can also play at G so he has a lil value. Looking ahead to the offseason as I said on the last page we've already picked up the 7.4 mil 5th year option on Solder. Imma take a wild guess and say they probably gonna want to sit down with him after this season and I think this gives them a bit of insurance.

As far as the Easley situation I ain't eem mad let him rest up and get healthy. With Siliga getting called back, the emergence of Ayers and Jones return getting close we should be fine.

Hopefully he can have a strong camp/offseason and show some of that explosiveness he had at UF next year.

the Easley news is frustrating , but if its better long term im okay with it . our front seven and the depth of the defensive line has been a pleasant surprise this season , and with Chandler Jones scheduled to come back soon i dont think the team will skip a beat

Chandler Jones
Chris Jones
Siliga
Wilfork
Alan Branch
Ninkovich
Ayers

this is low key an awesome ******* front. got some big boys in the middle and then some nice ends. starting to really come together

SI did a pretty good article that kinda gives some insight on Brady and his stringent preparation, gives me a lil hope he'll stick around longer than expected 

It's a long read but definitely well worth it

^ just read that. good article. i always read these articles on brady and as much as people try to say that he's just a normal dude...he isn't. he can't be. normal dudes aren't wired that way. he's just completely committed to the game and playing at the highest level possible.

Aaron Dobson (IR'd last week) will not require surgery and did not tear his hamstring, per source. Just a bad pull. Good for 2015 prep.

good news for AD. next year is his last shot to sink or swim with this organization. better make it count

great article . gained a ton of respect for him

Jamie Collins is getting a lot of love as a "freak athlete" from his teammates

Defense is stacked

Don't get me wrong, I was born and raised in Dade county. I'm 305 all the way, BUT! Man do I hate those dolphins.

It's going to be a hell of a game tomorrow!

Pretty sure I'm gonna get a lot of hate for walking into hooters in the middle of Miami with a Patriots jersey on [emoji]128518[/emoji]

Gameday fam!

Always love divisional games 

. You guys have any predictions on the final score? Since the Fins always seem to play us tough,I say 31-24 but I could also see a blowout if the offense gets off to a hot start which has been rare lately and the defense continues playing stoutly.

Gameday fam!

rolaholic you never really know what Dolphins team your gonna get

I predict a close game tho, they always play us tough and their post season is essentially on the line today

True,you just gotta admire the fact that every game against this team is always treated like the Superbowl by each team in the division .

Last time I checked, Dolphins can't swim in the snow

34-21 Pats

On screens inside Patriots' training facility, NE displayed quotes from Miami players after they beat Patriots in opener, about how Patriots quit, about how they took it to them. Each Patriot was able to repeatedly walk past and read the multitude of quotes the Miami players said about them after the opener.

These dudes better come out fired up

Classic BB making use of bulletin board material 

. As if they didn't need enough motivation to wrap up the division. I'll never forget the America's game on the '04 Pats where BB put up during a team meeting,newspaper articles from Philly outlining the plans for their Superbowl parade
