YUP!

it will be interesting to see who OUR PATS, The Greatest Team of All Time, pick up and trade for. Curious that Bill has already done the free agency thing somewhat. some interesting choices made.

i always like the first coupla rounds, the hype can go away, but i like to see the kids' reactions, and seeing Quinn "sweat" last year was priceless. Patriots should do well. Question is will they go D or O??

isn't it SOOOOOOOOOO SADDDDDDD

how franchises that couldn't even hold the PATS jockstrap

want to be the first ones to point out the fact that the Patriots choked?

what does that kind of a wannabe comment say about the G-Men? imho, they smashed the Patriots in the mouth and deserved to win a well fought SB XLII. Big Bill got outcoached as well, and that is where you might could say that some choking was involved..........................everywhere else the Giants wanted it MORE!!

as for the greatest team of 5 months, Mike P?

how's about the Greatest Team of this Decade and they will most certainly be,
before they are said and DONE, the GTOAT.

what, ya think Brady and Company are all KAPUT after such a gruesome defeat? i DON'T, quite the contrary Old Bean! i look for THESE Patriots to continue their domination of the League, on BOTH sides of the Football and if you think that the Boyz from Foxboro had sumpthin' to prove LAST year............

the '08~~'09 season is gonna be one for the record books as well.
and remember the Pats never said they were the GTOAT, it was the media and experts across the Country and around the League that vaulted them to such high praises. and why not, they certainly had the numbers. yeaaaaahhhh, and Mercury Morris can lick my @#*&%%. he needs to get back on the pipe, then maybe he'll start sounding reasonable again.

that is ALL, for now.................
keep dreamin', RRonnie; maybe
your team will win 5 games next year

And the Pats go younger at ILB..FINALLY.....

How much are the Faiders paying Rhode Island native, son of Huggy Bear, Justin Fargas?

Al has lost his mind and is no longer relevant in the NFL.

I appreciate your loyalty, RR. You're a true fan. It's all cyclical so better days are ahead. But you wil probably have to wait for Davis' dirt nap 'cuz he ain't no quitta.

I'de bet $$$ most of the phony diehard Pats fans would have jumped ship long ago if they went through a 5 year stretch like the Raider have been in !

I'm a lifelong fan of NE as well but I think Ronnie is right about the amount of fans that would be lost if the Pats went through a stretch like the Raiders have gone through. Seems like I could find tickets easily to any game prior to Parcells.

Any of these guys ring a bell from the last down cycle:
Hart Lee Dykes
Marc Wilson
Hugh Millen
Vagas Ferguson

I was still a PAts fan when the best day of the year was draft day.
