    I grew up in Western Connecticut as a fan of both the New York Yankees and the New England Patriots. Many people find that hard to believe these days, particularly in New York. They would not have found it hard to believe back in the 1980s though. I suffered through that decade when I was young.

    I feel pretty confident about Tom Brady having much better chemistry with his new set of wide receivers this season. Last year produced some growing pains. Hopefully this year will produce some touchdowns. image

    let me be the first to say that Ridley sucks...in anticipation of his first lost fumble of the year.

    Be great if Gronkowski plays every game

    Thats the thing, Ridley doesnt suck except that he cannot be trusted to hang on to the football he is a talented runner and thats why the Pats havnt cut him yet, someone in the division would scoop him up in a heartbeat.


    I was suprised we didnt trade him to an NFC team

    I am not a big fan of Stevan Ridley. As a matter of fact, I have not been a big fan of any of the New England Patriots running backs since Corey Dillon. Even Laurence Maroney turned out to be a tremendous disappointment.

    The problem is that they dont invest heavily in any Running Back, they havnt since Dillon. That being said, I do like Shane Vereen as a multi role runner, its going to be a committe approach regardless.

    I was just watching the NFL Network, and the experts were predicting Tom Brady and the New England Patriots to have a very successful season. I have to admit, I was a little surprised to hear how confident they sounded, particularly about Tom Brady's projected numbers. Let's hope that they knew what they were talking about.

    The 49er part is a joke right?

    I don't know if the Patriots were that bad or the Dolphins were that good.

    Brady was under pressure all day and could not do anything in the 2nd half.

    He better shave that beard, it looks stupid anyway.

    Agreed, the Pats played awful in the 2nd half.

    Hopefully it was just a bad game, I seriously have/had high hopes for this Season!

    I don't know, I did not renew my NFL package this year because I end up getting to see most of the Patriots games out here anyway so why pay the price if they are not going to have a good team.
    Come on spring training!

    I love it when the patriots take a beating. Brady must have had a fit after the game.
  • bigmarty58bigmarty58 Posts: 2,002 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Pats looked very tentative almost as if they were unprepared for the fins. I don't think it was a good day today for the coaching staff. My guess is next week we will see a better prepared offense and defense, IN Bill We Trust.

    Brady had the Brady face halfway through the third quarter. Belichick won't let Ridley run the ball, which (once again) was exactly what was needed.

    By the way, Ridley's fumble percentage was better than Blount's or Vereen's last year (or sproles, tate, bush, JBell, Gerhardt...). Not good, but not bad enough to waste a talent.

    Speaking of Bradys face, Im reading that he shaved that stupid beard off.

    I dont blame Bellichek for not trusting Ridley, as far as your percentages point didnt Ridley have far more carries then those guys?
  • Bosox1976Bosox1976 Posts: 8,551 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Yes - but fumble percentage is # of fumbles divided by # of touches, so that is taken into account.

    Glad about the beard. image

    He keeps throwing like he did the other day he may need that beard so no one will recognize him.

    had to look that one up! That Ridley looks like he could get a better grip on the ball and fly through defenses. We'll take him in the backfield in NE!

    This team is not going anywhere this year. The offense is horrible and so is the defense. This is the worst team since '02 in my opinion.

    Has Bellychick or Brady actually won anything since they stole super bowls from deserving teams after the cheat film scandal ? Should be the ' Lance Armstrong Patriots '

    I'm so aggravated at these bums. How many times has Brady restructured or left money on the table thinking they would spend the money on improving the team? Instead they just pocket the cash , he should just get out of there and finish with another team.

  • perkdogperkdog Posts: 30,582 ✭✭✭✭✭


    << <i>OMG that Bellychick interview after that game. OMG You could just tell he was realizing he stole Super Bowls from deserving teams and that POS is finally busted at it.

    Dude you sound like a complete idiot, please be quiet and let the adults discuss the Patriots in this thread.

    Bob Kraft and Bill Belichek are the sole reason why the Patriots have imploded and have not been able to get another Super Bowl Win, Kraft is so freaking cheap, and Belichek is one of the worst GM/Coaches, he makes decisions on his false sense of "Im smarter than everyone else"

    As much as I love the Patriots they have been nothing but an aggrevation since the 2007 Season, just think about how well we might have done if we actually got Brady some Receivers and spent money on DB's over the last 6 years!

    Its a complete shame and I hold Bob Kraft the most responsible and BB a hair below him.

    Let me just throw this out there.

    Brady actually has Svcked IMO, yes he is under pressure but how many times does he throw into double coverage and try to force throws? He looks for Edelman nearly every time regardless if he is open or not.

    There were times when he threw very quickly but didn't seem to be under a lot of pressure. The way he drilled the ball into the ground a few times looked like ryan mallette in the preseason

    It was a good run. Remember the old days? In case you forgot how bad they were, I suspect there will be a reminder soon.
