--- THE OFFICIAL NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS THREAD --- OFFSEASON THREAD

[Sharpshoeter13]

Felger&Mazz are annoying at times but I can't front, they're on point on some takes. I listened to their episode yesterday (sans both dudes) and I agree that Solder ain't worth THAT much. Bedard brought the goods and it's hard to ignore (and weird) the kind of uncertainty we're dealing with right now. It was a cool episode overall, though, kinda feels like the 05-06 season #CaldwellSZN.

The lack of FA signings is expected but it's hard not to feel a lil jelly that the rest of the teams in our division are strapping up while we're "standing pat."

In all seriousness, the passive aggressiveness attitude in our team gotta stop. Sam Wickersham wrote the piece like he's Zemo in Civil War

Whatever happens, happens and I hope the team figures this s*** out.

this. it's like high school over there right now. or my ex-gf

 

[Sharpshoeter13]

We got highly paid, grown-*** men acting like yutes on social media

Props on Butler though, it'd be hard to find someone like him in the future.

Oh yeah, dudes on Felger&Mazz yesterday were talking about a rookie the Pats got last year and they said he was Wes Welker Lite

The McCourty bros

 

[Sharpshoeter13]

Clayborn & Hill

Thoughts? Seems like a good signing. I can see Hill battling up in training camp with Gillislee. Either of em could be cut but I think BB will keep em both.

 

[getback]

Hill fits a need in the backfield since we don't really have a power guy. I think Gillislee's days are probably numbered.

The Clayborn signing I like. Needed a dude with his skillset that we missed sorely last year. Pretty agile for a big dude. Hope he's consistent.

We also got an OT from Seattle. Don't know much about him though.

 

[DeadsetAce]

Hill and Clayborn fit needs. I'm good with those.

The OT from SEA I don't much about. He's from SEA though and they didn't want him...which is telling

 

[Sharpshoeter13]

BB gonna make the tackle we got from SEA a Pro Bowler by next year

dog i wouldn't be surprised

Scar can coach anyone up. he fixed Cannon and LeWaddle

 

[Sharpshoeter13]

That Scar dude worked wonders. Though during the SB media night he said that he doesn't know if he'll be back next season. Doubt that he retires this year, though, BB bout to tell to retire with him...

NEXT YEAR

loljk

 

[ggarvinxx3]

I hope we sign Ebron

we need another TE

 

[da hen]

We need a pass rush

 

[getback]

Need a solid addition to our linebacking corps. Priority on speed and athleticism preferably.

 

[Sharpshoeter13]

Shore up that D and we're good!

I think if Gronk intends to leave (disgusting to even think about Gronk leaving ), I think we have a chance to land Ebron. But it would be nice to add depth at TE.

Missin the Chico/Gronk combo...

 

[DeadsetAce]

Gronk not giving the team an answer is kind of annoying at this point

 

[Sharpshoeter13]

Gut feeling tells me that he MIGHT announce his decision during Wrestlemania just to mess with our feels...

i can't lie...i love him but his whole off the field schtick is getting kind of annoying

can't fault him though

 

[Sharpshoeter13]

Fo'real man! Lol

Media here dubbin Brady and Gronk as "Planet Players" and one of the sources said they're unhappy because they're under-appreciated.

I do think Gronk will be back, though. I'd give him another year injury-free, get paid, and he can do whatever he wants next year. Same with Brady.

I like them both but man... it has become WAAAY TOO PETTY.

 

[DeadsetAce]

just like Hightower last year

 

[Sharpshoeter13]

He made the Pro Bowl 7 times?!

But yeah, heard about this earlier on the radio. They speculated that this could be the reason why we're signing a bunch of ST players like Bolden and others cuz we might lose him to the Steelers

I hope he comes back.

 

[DeadsetAce]

we're getting our return guy. hopefully the cost is not too high....

 

[Sharpshoeter13]

IMO, Deatrich Wise and Derek Rivers will have breakout years next season. Both of 'em are young; Wise showed flashes and Rivers did well in training camp before tearing his ACL.

It's a good thing we're strapping up on D-line by adding a lot of depth, but LBs need fixing BADLY.

I think Patterson could see some mins during games other than returning kicks/punts. He's gotta have some skill in him to be a difference maker. If I was him, I'd show out and cash out somewhere when the deal is up. I mean that has become a trend for most players we had.

[Sharpshoeter13]

Top heavy, huh.

Week 10 bout to be emotional AF

 

[rrickrude]

Worst case 6-4 at the bye ??
Too much drama going on right now.
