machine gun kelly Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 Well, they are up to 6 opting out. It’s opt out watch added to COVID watch.

Rico Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 No big deal. If anybody can coach up scrub LBs to be good, it’s Belichick. 2

Georgia Bill Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 This season may come down to who can field the most qualified players with some degree of consistency. Some surprises will pop up, players or groups of players who test positive and get scrubbed from some games. It will throw a real wild-card into the "expected" outcomes. Imagine five or six top players testing positive days before the Super Bowl, with the associated gyrations in point spreads. Or the controversy, when teams get accused of playing individuals who had tested positive. Should be interesting - IF the NFL can make it through the season.

These SOBs are losing their top players AFTER losing Brady. I DON"T want them to get Trevor Lawrence. The kid has as much talent and potential coming out of college as did Andrew Luck and/or John Elway. 3 hours ago, Buffalo716 said: Belichick has way too much pride to go 0 and 16 I don't expect to see 16 games, do you?

OZBILLS Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 I have no confidence in a full season. Not without a bubble. Even then it's unfeasible
1st&ten Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 I'm sure the Pats can fill the holes enough to be competitive. As much as I despise Belichick, I don't think his ego would allow him to tank. I wouldn't doubt that he already has his eye on several QB's in the next draft class. Heck, there probably won't be a college season & he'll sign some kid just a year removed from high school.
Jeff1954 Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) Don’t think there’s any conspiracy. These players have all won, all earned more money than most people ever dream of, have legitimate reasons not to play the season and/or just decided they don’t want to risk getting ill to play a season for a team that is in decline because of the age of players and a step backwards or three in quarterback play. Who knows? A couple of them may have been iffy about playing a normal season. Edited July 29, 2020 by Jeff1954

Right now Kraft is handing out Massage coupons and dropping unmarked Bags of cash around the lockerroom. They brought in Cam to show the league and everyone else that they are serious about this season while they 'retool' during the unknown season. Seriously though, this could end up being similar to the scrub season and have teams looking to warm bodies to fill roster spots

They also lost LB Elandon Roberts to FA. also two other Pats players Danny vitale and one of their backup guards have opted out. interesting Who the ***** really wants to play for the hoodie... Looks like no one.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 Belicheat is low, but I don't buy him telling players to opt out. too much of a Tin Foil hat comment from Schefty

I disagree, if he's safe and the league has vigilant testing, he'll be fine imo. The issue is the guys who will hit a club , party , and act wreckless can jeopardize everybody. Testing is key but if he does his part, mask , washing hands , sacrifice a social life for football, should be fine. These guys love this game, it's therapy to alot of em. Respect to him. Helluva player too 1
MikeSpeed Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 Wait...so WHEN we win the superbowl this year it will mean nothing because the Patriots players decided they didn't want to play? Give me the asterisk and the superbowl. Never seems to bother Patriot fans.

No way tanking is even a thought for Belichick. If anyone thinks that's the case , they're delusional . Why even sign Cam then? Why not start stidham? I think it has some to do with D leader Devin Mccourty saying a cpl days ago , he sees guys acting wreckless and in the club and was pissed. I'm sure he was referring to teammates. They'll still go at least 6-10 -9-7 And these Pats players have rings , $ and are mostly vets. 1
