jeffismagic Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Pats already the best team in the NFL and now are clearly trying to go 19-0 Pats are playing Madden in GM mode and every other team is set on the lowest setting. You must have this class confused with 2018 Nope. I want to wait till 2020.
rowisu80 Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Get the pick at 12? i have to think so. Patriots are always about acquiring picks! either they take their QB of the future, OR, they are not going to be able to resign Hightower and they go LB there, either foster or the kid from Temple
Solomon Grundy Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Bills better draft some awesome DBs Like I've been saying, I see the Bills draft going WR, S, CB. Unless Davis is gone.
stinky finger Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 19-0 ?!? I see a lot of movement by the Pats but are they better right now than the team that just won the SB? As I see it, the Pats D is worse with who they stand to lose than what they've gained. That said, they are LIGHT YEARS ahead in the AFC East.
Alphadawg7 Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Before everyone goes off the deep end here...lets remember Cooks has played his whole career with a QB who averaged 5000 yards per season during Cooks career in the NFL. He's never had more than 84 catches, even as the primary target. Had only 78 this year in 16 games. Never had a 1200 yard season. This is not Randy Moss part 2. Yes he is a talented WR, but lets not over react...its not like Cooks all of a sudden challenges Moss receiving records in NE. I mean he played with one of the most prolific passers in NFL history and still put up good but not great numbers. AND...and this is a big AND...who cares. Until Brady retires, the Pats are one of the top 2 or 3 picks to win the SB every year. This didn't change anything.
BuffaloRebound Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Pay some undrafted free agent to deliver late hits to Brady until he gets kicked out of game. Then do it again the 2nd game. That strategy would be more effective than anything we've done the past 15 years.

The Saints had no hesitation sending him out of town as soon as they got the value they wanted.
What a Tuel Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) It's not about one single player. It's the entire arsenal along with the guy pulling the trigger. To be fair, who knows with Gronk, and they lost Bennett. So they did lose people. I think its an upgrade, and it sucks but we will see how they look in September. Edit: Thought Amendola was gone? When did they sign Dwayne Allen? They have been busy. Edited March 11, 2017 by What a Tuel
BillsFan4 Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 So the Patriots don't have a 1st, 2nd or 3rd round pick in this year's draft now? That's unusual for them.You usually don't see the Pats notmpicking until the 4th round of the draft, or signing free agents to high price long term contracts with lots of guaranteed money. Maybe they are going all in on next season? Or maybe they have a trade in the works for Jimmy G to recoup a number of the lost picks.
Bronc24 Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 The only saving grace is that the *Pats are shedding picks, which has me hoping if (when?) they win it all, the Brady Belichick train will ride into the sunset.

I really think the pats are going to make that trade...they WANT picks...always. They will get 2 picks from the Browns...at least.
Rockpile233 Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Can't argue with the logic of wanting to go for it while Brady is still around. Aggressive moves for sure.

That would be quite the grand slam for this soul eating franchise.
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) You don't understand? No wonder why the other site got shut down... A ton of new members have no brains. Those poor good new members had to deal with these people.Who might need a WR like Cooks more? Tyrod or Brady? A qb that is a middle of the road starter with only 1 real passing weapon? Or a guy who is most likely the best QB to ever play the game and can make pedestrian receivers look like pro bowlers? My point was the Patriots are never satisfied and even though they are already great. Working every day to add pieces and get better. That's what winners do. Your response was...they have Tom Brady? What does that have to do with what I'm saying? I don't understand what you don't get about it. They have Brady and yet they still go out and make the moves that we should be making. They are in the business of producing winning football teams and we are in the business of producing excuses and let downs. Edited March 11, 2017 by Brianmoorman4jesus
Alphadawg7 Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 It's not about one single player. It's the entire arsenal along with the guy pulling the trigger. Thats my point...adding Cooks didn't suddenly put them out of reach for the Bills to win the division NE was going to win a min of 13 games next year. All Cooks is going to do is take catches away from others, but those catches were going to happen either way. Its not like the Pats were "1 receiver away from being a contender". I would have been more pissed if the Dolphins or Jets had gotten him.
