Wait, you’re not a fan of wheeling out all those diaper wearing geriatric legends once a year to celebrate some random team finally losing their first game?
I’d actually prefer it being Patricia or McDaniels taking over after BB retires. Both have been here for a long time and the transition would likely be seamless rather than some new guy coming and replacing everyone.
I scrolled down a bit to read that Sony Michel possibly getting traded article and thought the Falcons could use another RB, maybe Bill convince them to take Michel plus a lesser pick for Julio Jones. Although if BB tries trading Michel elsewhere he basically killed his value by not picking up the 5th yr option where some team could get him for two seasons rather than one.

I think that Shula (RIP) made a mistake when he called the Patriots the "Cheatriots". I'm of course speculating, but I think that might have added fuel to the fire.
He’s likely looking at, at least, five more seasons if he wants to break Shula’s record unless he can turn this franchise around quickly. Do we think Belichick will stick around that long?

Cam injured his throwing hand in practice today. reports are it’s not broken but they have to do more tests to see how bad it is and how long he’ll be sidelined.

Let’s just call it the way it is. Mac Jones is our Starting QB
Cam's injury will mean more reps for everyone else. I don't necessarily see it as making it more likely Jones starts earlier. I would imagine this might eliminate any talk of camp competition, with the job remaining Cam's by default. As long as he is healthy for the season.
Gilmore was a no show today for the start of mandatory mini camp. There were reports that he could just be holding out for a new deal and another that the team might be keeping off the field while the could possibly have a trade in the works.
At this point unless there is a comparable player coming back in a trade I’d rather to just hold onto Gilmore as the #1 CB. His play may not be at the DPOY level from two seasons ago but it’s probably going to be better than last season when hampered by injuries.
He’s in his last year of his deal due to make 7.5m but with another 7.5m in dead cap money that stays on the books whether he gets dealt or not. I doubt BB would give him stupid money if he’s trying to get out of the 7.5m for this year by trading him.

Harry’s agent officially asked for a trade out of NE,hopefully Bill can get a somewhat decent return for him. Earlier during this offseason I’ve read that Arizona was looking to move on from former BC WR Andy Isabella who has a similar contract financially, i’d like to see a swap of these two and see if they can better develop elsewhere.

Alright. After watching both Newton and Jones tonight, I'm ready to not see Cam again. He gives me no more confidence in the pocket than he did last year.
Lol. What a train wreck. Unless BB is playing it close to the vest the Patriots are in for a long season. Between the 2 QB their longest pass went 4 yards past the line of scrimmage. One holding penalty on any drive will be a punt. It’s going to be another long season for Patriots fans and honestly no one in the league will have any pity for them.
With the plethora of high powered offenses BB refuses to change his field general mentality even though his field general is in Tampa Bay.

Defense looked good but 13-19 for 87 yards is 4 yards per attempt. Looks a lot like last year. I didn’t see much separation for receivers and they don’t have another Gronk. A running back might lead the team in receptions.

Honestly, I’m not too worried about how their offense looked last night. It’s the first preseason game with a rookie QB throwing mostly to a bunch of wide receivers that are still trying to learn the NE system, that connection just isn’t there yet. If Jones has to make the offense move by throwing to James White,then so be it, that’s why he’s there.

I will keep watching a real quarterback who was let go by the patriots as I don't want to go back right now to a team that I watched from their beginning. I went through to many years of growing pains to go through that again. Newton is a joke!
Mac looked overall pretty good tonight. three scoring drives in six possessions and would have had two TD passes had Zuber held onto the ball in the end zone before Stevenson ran it in a play or two later. 10 of 14 for 156yards.
I doubt Bill names him the starter though,he’s likely to go with Cam as the #1. At that point I don’t think there is anything Mac can do to gain that job other than Cam leading this team to a prolonged losing streak. Cam could be playing like ass but if the team still manages to win a game every few weeks, that might be just enough for BB to leave him in that starting role.
Now that the preseason is over Vegas has the Patriots at over/under 9.5 wins. Any predictions? I think the consensus is the Bills repeat as division winners. Do the Patriots pass Miami? Earn a wildcard? Start Mac by week 4-5-6?
My prediction. 9 wins
Just miss the wild card. Too many 10 win teams finishing 2nd in other divisions
2nd in the division because Tua isn’t all that.
Cam plays until or if the season is completely lost.
Opinions welcome.
W.C.Fields "I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
If the Patriots are winning and/or being very competitive, I do not see Belichick replacing Cam until at least week 6. He doesn't want Mac playing against TB, and he doesn't want to pull Cam as a knee jerk reaction to losing to TB. 10 wins will be tough. I don't have my hopes up for this year.
i think if Cam makes it through the entire season as starter then ,factoring all the additions that were brought in, NE is likely landing in the 8-9/9-8/10-7 range,imo. The only pathway I can see to a better record with Cam under center would be if their passing offense starts clicking with better talent all around or if BB's defense performs at a top 5 level.
Their depth at the RB,TE & OL along with Cam should give them a stronger run game than a year ago where they were 4th in rushing, Rhamondre Stevenson & Damien Harris look like they're going to be a great 1-2 punch.
I think their passing offense will be better just for the fact that they'll have better passing targets to throw to in Nelson Agholor,Jonnu Smith & Hunter Henry compared to players like Damiere Byrd,N'Keal Harry & Ryan Izzo a year ago. How much better remains to be seen.
I'm really looking forward to seeing what their defense will look like once the games actually start. Every position looks pretty deep and getting back both Hightower & Van Noy should be a huge positive. The only question I have about their defense is will the Stephon Gilmore situation finally work itself out?
Like I mentioned in my previous comment,I don't see Mac taking over the starting QB job unless Cam leads the team to a prolonged losing streak. With all of the talent they've added this offseason I don't see that happening.
@erikthredd Running offenses are great as long as they stay ahead of the chains. A holding penalty or a 5 yard loss at anytime during the drive is a killer. Get behind 2 scores is a tough hill to climb with 20 minutes to go. Not saying it can’t be done but this game today you need those consistent 15 yard passes. Just ask the Ravens. They play downhill as good as any team and have yet to reach the championship and I believe their roster is stacked compared to the Patriots

I will keep watching a real quarterback who was let go by the patriots as I don't want to go back right now to a team that I watched from their beginning. I went through to many years of growing pains to go through that again. Newton is a joke!
Mac looked overall pretty good tonight. three scoring drives in six possessions and would have had two TD passes had Zuber held onto the ball in the end zone before Stevenson ran it in a play or two later. 10 of 14 for 156yards.
I doubt Bill names him the starter though,he’s likely to go with Cam as the #1. At that point I don’t think there is anything Mac can do to gain that job other than Cam leading this team to a prolonged losing streak. Cam could be playing like ass but if the team still manages to win a game every few weeks, that might be just enough for BB to leave him in that starting role.

Now that the preseason is over Vegas has the Patriots at over/under 9.5 wins. Any predictions? I think the consensus is the Bills repeat as division winners. Do the Patriots pass Miami? Earn a wildcard? Start Mac by week 4-5-6?
My prediction. 9 wins
Just miss the wild card. Too many 10 win teams finishing 2nd in other divisions
2nd in the division because Tua isn’t all that.
Cam plays until or if the season is completely lost.
Opinions welcome.

If the Patriots are winning and/or being very competitive, I do not see Belichick replacing Cam until at least week 6. He doesn't want Mac playing against TB, and he doesn't want to pull Cam as a knee jerk reaction to losing to TB. 10 wins will be tough. I don't have my hopes up for this year.
i think if Cam makes it through the entire season as starter then ,factoring all the additions that were brought in, NE is likely landing in the 8-9/9-8/10-7 range,imo. The only pathway I can see to a better record with Cam under center would be if their passing offense starts clicking with better talent all around or if BB's defense performs at a top 5 level.
Their depth at the RB,TE & OL along with Cam should give them a stronger run game than a year ago where they were 4th in rushing, Rhamondre Stevenson & Damien Harris look like they're going to be a great 1-2 punch.
I think their passing offense will be better just for the fact that they'll have better passing targets to throw to in Nelson Agholor,Jonnu Smith & Hunter Henry compared to players like Damiere Byrd,N'Keal Harry & Ryan Izzo a year ago. How much better remains to be seen.
I'm really looking forward to seeing what their defense will look like once the games actually start. Every position looks pretty deep and getting back both Hightower & Van Noy should be a huge positive. The only question I have about their defense is will the Stephon Gilmore situation finally work itself out?
Like I mentioned in my previous comment,I don't see Mac taking over the starting QB job unless Cam leads the team to a prolonged losing streak. With all of the talent they've added this offseason I don't see that happening.

@erikthredd Running offenses are great as long as they stay ahead of the chains. A holding penalty or a 5 yard loss at anytime during the drive is a killer. Get behind 2 scores is a tough hill to climb with 20 minutes to go. Not saying it can’t be done but this game today you need those consistent 15 yard passes. Just ask the Ravens. They play downhill as good as any team and have yet to reach the championship and I believe their roster is stacked compared to the Patriots
