When did the Pats EVER look "frighteningly" good? They aren't/weren't about beating you with supreme talent, they beat you with strategy and good game planning. Don't get me wrong, they're not devoid of talent, but nobody gets the most out of their players than they do. They are put in position to win. That's coaching.

Given the carries, yes, I think A-Train would easily get 990 yds. But that's no big deal, I would expect that from just about any RB provided they get the carries. I suspect we will not need to lean so heavily on him, however. I believe more help is on the way. Younger, fresher help that may well exceed the sub-1000 yd sum.

1) He'll never see all that money 2) Who cares if he's with his thug friends? 3) The Ravens will not come close 13-3 next year. They're getting too old in key areas. 4) This is what WM wanted?

Right. Where on Earth will we find a RB that can scamper for 990 yds?

OC checking in with some very good posts in this thread. I believe in most of what you have stated. Good job.

Geez....just unbelievable. What a thug. The good news is The Dean knows the reporter that was good liking at one point in time........back to you, Dick.

If anyone here thinks the Pats, the 12-4 division winning Pats, the "one good half away from winning another SB" Pats aren't better because of these moves, you're mistaken. Mind you, these signings guarantee nothing, but don't fool yourself, they're better. Period. Like a poster stated earlier in this thread, if you're not worried about, why make a post about it. That's flat out denial. Brady, a seasoned Maroney with these threatening and talented WRs with a dash of Belichick and sprinkle in extraordinary OL & DL play not to mention the foul taste of their defeat to the Colts, look out. Lets not mention the 2 1st rounders and 4 of the first 90 or so picks in this upcoming draft. Yea, they're desperate....desperate to win another championship.

Yep. For Baltimore's 3rd JJ would be a steal. For our 3rd it's merely good, which would be plenty enough. Teamed with A-Train we'd move the pile. I'd do it.

A good re-signing. Now, where will our go-to guy come from?

Hows abouts bone white?

This would explain why he never fumbles. Imagine the "grip" he must have.......whoa baby!!

I keep coming back for the refreshments. The pastries served here are out of this world. More please.

Nope. I believe that wagon is being driven by a boy from tennessee.

Ohhhh to turn the clock back to 1981. Walking to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays because I had study hall back to back periods to start the day. Those walks more often than not included puffs of a joint and a couple swigs of Yukon Jack. Who would have known the QB of my favorite team was just coming out of the oven at this very proud time in my life. In any event, HB JP.

The defense rests.......well put.

"Freedom on my mind......carry me away for the last time......oohh..ohhh...yeeeaaaaaa" Of all the tunes that I spent playing air guitar to.......this was my favorite. My fondest memories had Boston in the background for many of them.

LSI you shall lead this band of merry men. LSI you shall be the "big toe" LSI you shall rename this group of vagabonds the "AUXILLARY POLICE"

I'll do your frontyard with my ....ahem....Lanacane. (sorry....couldn't resist )

Well then....a hearty welcome to Tim Hardaway. 5,000 since '05? You're suppose to change boards every 3,000 posts.

.......and this band of merry men were called............"CADETS"

"......With the 12th pick in the first round, the Buffalo Bills select...BRADY QUINN...QB.....Notre Dame....." When do your "benefits" kick in?

Tough to argue ANY of this.

Would you submit a blood sample for a DNA test? I have a sneaking suspicion here....... Hmmm..... bflodan....assuming you're in the vicinity of LSI......swab him!

Right. So why assign a grade? Lets retool and assess afterwards. Much of our help will come from the draft so you still won't have your answer. There is no quick fix. We've tried that. Doesn't work to well.

Nice post Poeticlaw. Rarely do I read a post as long as this, but you kept me compelled. Anyway, I think we'll sign one of the available FA's (Train, Brown, Dillon) and draft our stud. Probably in the 2nd round. Defense will be our focus in the first.
