Preseason is over and we survived without any major injuries.
Saddest part: the retirement of Teddy Bruschi, he will be missed.
Scariest part: seeing 350 lbs. land on top of Tom Brady. He seems to be OK though.
Most exciting: Brady and Moss haven't missed a beat... now this should be fun to watch.
Also exciting: Julien Edleman, (a Wes Welker clone it seems), Chris Baker, (look out for your job Ben Watson)
Should be a fun season, Go Pats!

New England Patriots Trade Seymour to Raiders? SAY WHAT??

Gargoyle · 09-06-2009, 12:17 PM

NO KIDDING! I was half expecting that this was part of a 1-2 punch to get Peppers in... but that looks doubtful now.

No big loss, a lot of dog in Seymour and he did not play as an elite player the last few seasons.
Now the Pats have the cash to pay Wilfork and not have to listen to Seymour.
What I like about the Pats, is reputation don't mean jack, play hard or your gone.

It gets rid of Seymour after he gave the Pats an ultimatum that he gets an extension or he walks at the end of the year. It frees up $3.6 million to sign Wilfork and helps with Brady. They took a first in 2011 which is after the uncapped year and when they think that there will be hard cap slots for rookies. They also have faith in their rookies who did look good even against first team players from other teams. It will take a year to see if they made the right choices.

Bruins Fan · 09-06-2009, 04:43 PM

With Richards contract coming up he would have been looking for say 25 million guaranteed signing bonus, Pats were not going to pay that.
One of the Pats strengths is the D line with a lot of depth.
The 2011 draft pick is all about the future, coach Bill knows what he is doing, I think

VTDragon · 09-08-2009, 08:19 AM

Seymour had some good years, but his best are behind him and the Pats never were going to be able to re-sign both him and Wilfork for next year. No doubt that the trade hurts us a little this year, but I beleive it will work out to our benefit in the long run. In Bill we trust.

Bruins Fan · 09-08-2009, 10:14 AM

Seymour is a no show in Oakland

Pats suck....good win Jets!

Go Bills!!!

Gargoyle · 09-21-2009, 03:35 PM

I think it had to be a frustrating game for both Jets and Pats fans in the first half. Neither team was hitting their stride and the game was right there for the taking for anyone that could show a little discipline and execution. It was almost like a stalemate of ineptness and the team that sucked less would not lose... vs. someone stepping up to win.

The Jets came out from halftime and seemed to fined some rhythm and had a couple of nice-looking drives before they started to fall back into an offensive funk as well. But it was enough to win.

While it could be said that both defenses were playing well, it felt more like the offense struggled to find any consistency for both teams. While D plays a hugh factor into that, there were too many mental mistakes vs. plays made on the field.

While I certainly want to see the Pats win, I can take a loss (with much swearing along the way) if the effort was there. I just didn't like it was this Sunday.

The Pats will be fine.

icantbejon · 09-22-2009, 07:24 AM

The Pats will not win the division this year. I'm calling it now. Not sure who will, but it won't be the Pats.

Go Bills!!

The only way the Pats are going to the playoffs this year is as a wildcard. I have no doubts the Jets can and will take the AFC East spot.

I'd love to say the Bills stand a chance, but I have to be realistic. Oh well.
