Breakout Night for NE

[Mr Bojangles]

Well, we sure are hoping for a breakout night against the assclowns from NY. They'll be up for the game, as usual, so NE had better get it in gear early and often if they want to lay an embarrassing blowout on them.

I think the Pats are up to the task, and they usually follow any less than stellar performance with an ass kicking of their next opponent.

Time to get your mojo on, men.

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

I'm sure you'll find one or two 'non-Bronco' fans to give a crap.

[Mr Bojangles]

I'm sure you'll find one or two 'non-Bronco' fans to give a crap.

I agree. 'Cause most Bronco fans don't actually follow football

[WTE]

Half of NE's offense is injured and not playing tonight. Hopefully Dobson and Boldin are active and healthy enough to make a good contribution.

[olathebroncofan]

Got the game set up on my dvr. Well throw it on when we get home from practice. It will interesting to see how the offense does with out Danny and the running back they lost. I forgot which one. Plus didn't the other one have a slight fumbling issue?

Then the jets are the jets.

Can't wait.

Shane Vereen got injured and Steven Ridley has come down with a case of Hillmanitis.

Patriots need to pressure Geno Smith. I will accept nothing less than six sacks in this game for NE.

Moral victories are important when your team sucks.

Are you saying NE sucks kind sir?

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

Are you saying NE sucks kind sir?

Your diplomatic response is kind of deflating dude. This is the "smack" section, right?

I'm sure captain douche bag will jump in right away. :laugh:

Hello Skinny and welcome to the Game Thread. I saw that Brandon Boldin is out tonight. Things are getting tougher and tougher for NE.

But anyway, it's great that you're here Skinny!

[MOtorboat]

2-6 games for Amendola?

:eek:

[PatriotsGuy]

2-6 games for Amendola?

:eek:

That's kind of a big window don't you think?

Oh and WTE, it's Bolden

[MOtorboat]

That's kind of a big window don't you think?

Oh and WTE, it's Bolden

Is it the hamstring? If so, that's why. He lost 9 weeks to a hammy last year.

[DenBronx]

I'm not going to lie. I am picking the Pats to win tonight. The Jets don't scare anyone and I think the Bills were a tougher team. Either way, NE is in a weaker division kind of like the Broncos.


Hope you guys lose! :D

[PatriotsGuy]

Is it the hamstring? If so, that's why. He lost 9 weeks to a hammy last year.

Reportedly a groin, but seriously, who in the Patriot organization is going to be spilling any info like that? I think no one

[WTE]

Thank you for the correction Pags.

[MOtorboat]

Thank you for the correction Pags.

Remember how you said it was no big deal?

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

Reportedly a groin, but seriously, who in the Patriot organization is going to be spilling any info like that? I think no one

Welker would if he was still there. :laugh:

[WTE]

Remember how you said it was no big deal?

What did I say was no big deal?

[MOtorboat]

What did I say was no big deal?

His injury.

[SR]

Hope you guys lose! :D

I'm picking NE as well but id be happy to see them lose. To the JETS.

[WTE]

His injury.

Boldin's?

[MOtorboat]

Boldin's?

:sigh:

[PatriotsGuy]

Boldin's?


Anquan is going to go all terminator on the Jets :WTE:

[WTE]

(I don't post during Pats games, I barely sit)

I usually don't sit either but I'm not sure I can do that tonight. I just sat down. I'm beat!

[PatriotsGuy]

Can you see?

Out my left eye, sure!

[PatriotsGuy]

I usually don't sit either but I'm not sure I can do that tonight. I just sat down. I'm beat!

I'm sitting now, the games not on. I'm watching idiot Faulk on NFL network

[PatriotsGuy]

ok local pre-game is on. Later

[WTE]

ok local pre-game is on. Later

It's been on since 7 on Comcast.

[PatriotsGuy]

It's been on since 7 on Comcast.

wtf it's the nfl network pregame on channel 5 too?

[MOtorboat]

Is this where I discuss the Chadron State vs. West Texas A&M game?

[WTE]

OK guys, look for UDFA (thanks SR) Kenbrell Thomkins to have a good night for NE. He will be playing 1st team offense tonight so he will get his chances.

[PatriotsGuy]

OK guys, look for UDFA (thanks SR) Kenbrell Thomkins to have a good night for NE. He will be playing 1st team offense tonight so he will get his chances.

he played first team offense last week too. I like how in pre game they show Boston footage like it's anywhere near foxboro lol

[MOtorboat]

7-0 Chadron after one play from scrimmage.

[WTE]

7-0 Chadron after one play from scrimmage.

Mo! Get lost you little faggot!

[MOtorboat]

2 plays from scrimmage. 14-0 Chadron.

[WTE]

he played first team offense last week too. I like how in pre game they show Boston footage like it's anywhere near foxboro lol

I know. But most Broncos fans couldn't pick Kenbrell Thomkins out of a Von Miller line-up so I want to make sure they look for him.

[WTE]

2 plays from scrimmage. 14-0 Chadron.

That sounds like the box score of a Pee Wee football game.

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

ok local pre-game is on. Later

Oh goody goody, I'm so excited I'm gonna pee myself!!!

[PatriotsGuy]

I know. But most Broncos fans couldn't pick Kenbrell Thomkins out of a Von Miller line-up so I want to make sure they look for him.

do you think they use Washington as a scat back or strictly special teams?

[WTE]

do you think they use Washington as a scat back or strictly special teams?

5 -7 plays from scrimmage along w/ ST. Not sure how healthy he is either. I don't think he's 100%

[SR]

I'm sitting now, the games not on. I'm watching idiot Faulk on NFL network

Faulk isn't 10% as bad as Michael Irvin.

[SR]

Is this where I discuss the Chadron State vs. West Texas A&M game?

Remember the Abilene Christian vs West Texas A&M game? I was at that.

[SR]

OK guys, look for UDFA (thanks SR) Kenbrell Thomkins to have a good night for NE. He will be playing 1st team offense tonight so he will get his chances.

Would you look at that. Welcome back old friend.

[SR]

Mo! Get lost you little faggot!

Lmao

[MOtorboat]

Remember the Abilene Christian vs West Texas A&M game? I was at that.

Oh, no shit. Wasn't that the 90-80-something game? Chadron had a crazy one against Abilene a few years back too.

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

5 -7 plays from scrimmage along w/ ST. Not sure how healthy he is either. I don't think he's 100%

Not only that he's 73 years old.

[SR]

Oh, no shit. Wasn't that the 90-80-something game? Chadron had a crazy one against Abilene a few years back too.

Yeah it was ridiculous. That was when I used to live in Abilene. That game broke so many NCAA records for points and yards it made my head spin. Johnny Knox (who was a Bear but has to retired and whom my wife went to high school with at Channelview HS in Channelview, TX) was playing and had a good game. It was insane. I've watched Arena games that moved at a snail pace compared to that one.

[WTE]

Would you look at that. Welcome back old friend.

Well I gotta admit, being an irritant was much more fun.

[SR]

Well I gotta admit, being an irritant was much more fun.

That isn't who you are and we all know it. That's why you're WTE, not BTE ;)

I think Chadron had a quadruple OT game with OT like the next week. I think that was when Woodhead was there.

[MOtorboat]

21-0 Chadron State!

[WTE]

Yes Dobson! Our Generic Brand Offense!

Dear Bing!

I don't want to ask my friends the questions I went to google to ask. That's why I went to google.

Talib deliberately swung his legs into Hill to force the fumble.

Talib deliberately swung his legs into Hill to force the fumble.

So he tripped him and should have been called for a penalty?

[SR]

That throw before the fumble was pretty.

I will ignore the Troll and maybe he will go away.

Actually serius. Didn't see it.

Nope. NO TD. Popped out.

It was a nice drive by the Jets though. Ivory looked good.

That's what she said.

Yes

Dumb challenge for Rex.

Good job, Rex.

Challenging spots is so stupid.

I thought Adrian Wilson signed with the Pats?

[Army Bronco]

So did Patriots score 100 points yet?

[WTE]

There will be some growing pains until Amendola and Gronk are ready.

[AgentOrange]

Yes.

Tonight? No.

[SR]

Tom Brady acts like such a classless ***** sometimes.

[AgentOrange]

Tommy's upset.

[Thnikkaman]

Pissed off Brady is hilarious.

[SR]

The Jets are screwing themselves

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

Where's Moss, Welker, Gronk, and Hernandez to make you look better than you really are? :laugh:

In all seriousness, both of these teams look bad. Neither one of them look anything like a playoff caliber team.

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

That is not a TD.

[olathebroncofan]

So was geno Smith a running QB in college. I thought he was, but he is not acting like one. There were a couple of plays where I thought he should have run, but he didn't. I like what I see with Smith.

No, he's a pocket guy.

Guys, your good friend and buddy WTE is not a happy person right now.

[BroncoNut]

I have to admit, I thought this thread was going to be your coming out, and a beginning for you and me, but I guess we'll have to wait on that. but to not be a sour puss


GO PATRIOTS!!

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

Guys, your good friend and buddy WTE is not a happy person right now.

I can understand why. Fortunately for you the season is long and the east isn't very good.

[BroncoNut]

Guys, your good friend and buddy WTE is not a happy person right now.

should be. you have a solid lead

[MOtorboat]

5 plays, 71 yards, Madkins with 55-yard TD! Chadron 31, A&M 16!

[SR]

Guys, your good friend and buddy WTE is not a happy person right now.

You're up 13-3 against a team that can't move the ball. Cheer up.

[AgentOrange]

Gonna be a wet second half.

[PatriotsGuy]

Where's Moss, Welker, Gronk, and Hernandez to make you look better than you really are? :laugh:



Don't be silly

[WTE]

That was a great catch by Thomkins and should have been a TD. Fuk replay.

[MOtorboat]

That was a great catch by Thomkins and should have been a TD. Fuk replay.

Um. No it wasn't.

[WTE]

Um. No it wasn't.

Go back to watching your Pop Warner game!

[BroncoNut]

That was a great catch by Thomkins and should have been a TD. Fuk replay.

I agree. He had possession in the air. so the ball was rearranged in his hands by the ground. bfd. stupid ruling

[AgentOrange]

Suppose no punt returner is the next big thing? That can last only so long.

[MOtorboat]

3rd and goal from the Chadron 1 for A&M. Errant snap, Chadron Ball!

Suck it, WTE!

[Buff]

3rd and goal from the Chadron 1 for A&M. Errant snap, Chadron Ball!

Wait, MO, I just got here. Set the stage for me a little bit.

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

Nope, he lost possession of the ball.

[AgentOrange]

Nice drive in the rain for the Jets.

[MOtorboat]

Wait, MO, I just got here. Set the stage for me a little bit.

Chadron is on CBS Sports tonight, playing a rematch against West Texas A&M (NTL and NJ's alma mater) from last year's first round, playing at Jerry World. They are up 31-16, after scoring on their first play from scrimmage (77-yard yard TD run) and their second play from scrimmage (recovered fumble and passing touchdown)!

WTE is hatin'.

[SR]

Got a game now fellers

[chazoe60]

I see NE is destroying the cream-puffs of the NFL at a breakneck pace. :laugh::laugh:

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

This game is freakin beautiful.

[MOtorboat]

Shit folks, WTA&M got a great return on a punt and scored 31-23. 11 minutes left.

Need some offense, Eagles.

[WTE]

I hate getting behind a Cummins engine on the road! Those diesels fuk'n stink!

I usually just blow right by them in the passing lane b/c they're real slow.

what happened to Shonn Greene. he's no longer a Jet?

He is Chris Johnson's backup in Tennessee now

In the mean time I'm enjoying this.

You can **** off right now.

Carol with the rare smack appearance, NICE!

yep. big time. I have them on my ff team.

take your meds Mo

I want to throw something nut. And I want to throw it at WTE!

take your meds Mo

Mo is the Worst Troll Ever tonight.

Don't miss like Geno just did.

bam. roasted.

They should have started Tebow.

They should have started Tebow.
Who?

Who?

He just wins, AO.

When is the blowout coming?

When your boyfriend blows his load in your face in the next hour.

No. It was lame.

[BroncoNut]

I thought it was pretty clever. You didn't like it?

it was awesome dude. keep it up. Mo has a tendency to bury his hurt deep inside. in fact he has nicknamed his boyfriend's penis "Mo's hurt"

[BroncoNut]

No. It was lame.

omg Mo, just dont' post on it anymore. lick your wounds and move on.

[BroncoWave]

When your boyfriend blows his load in your face in the next hour.

That's just wrong dude. Mo couldn't get a boyfriend.

[BroncoNut]

That's just wrong dude. Mo couldn't get a boyfriend.

he could if he believed in himself a bit more. He doesn't exactly scream confidence. I never understood that.

[WTE]

That's just wrong dude. Mo couldn't get a boyfriend.

Ha Ha! You're right! Mo is such a loser!

[BroncoNut]

Ha Ha! You're right! Mo is such a loser!

no he's not. He thinks he is. there's no doubt in my mind he could have pretty much any man he wanted if he just believed in himself.

[PatriotsGuy]

Who the **** calls a pitch to a fumble prone back in a close game at the end of the game. Stupid call Josh

[MOtorboat]

Stay classy you ******* New England queers.

Who the **** calls a pitch to a fumble prone back in a close game at the end of the game. Stupid call Josh

Pags. Shhhhhhh. We're trying to restore Mo's confidence in his ability to score any guy he wants!

[MOtorboat]

Hey guys, booing injured players is classy, right?

-signed, WTE

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

I'm confused, I thought Tommy had turned a bunch of no name rookies into all pros. What exactly halpened?

[BroncoNut]

Pags. Shhhhhhh. We're trying to restore Mo's confidence in his ability to score any guy he wants!

let's consider making a thread for him. He's a good guy and he deserves to be happy. if you make it, make it in the lounge so he will feel comfortable. we'll try to not make it that public of an issue if you catch my drift

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

You guys are lucky the Jets are a really bad team.

[Dzone]

The Jets are a joke and so are the Patriots...They are going to both get destroyed by Buffalo this year...neither of these teams are any good and neither will make the playoffs...
Edit, I meant to say buffalo lol

[WTE]

Wow. The NYJ really proved themselves to be a bunch of classless ******** huh?

I'm glad my Patriots take the high road!

[MOtorboat]

Wow. The NYJ really proved themselves to be a bunch of classless ******** huh?

Just like the Patriots fans.

[Skinny]

If Sanchez plays, the Jets win this game.


Hows my trolling WTE?

[PatriotsGuy]

Just like the Patriots fans.

Faking injuries to get a blow, please Mo, spare me

[Dzone]

neither of these lousy teams can keep up with buffalo or Miami

[MOtorboat]

Faking injuries to get a blow, please Mo, spare me

It was fourth down, with a punt on the way.

Booing injuries is classless.

[BroncoNut]

Wow. The NYJ really proved themselves to be a bunch of classless ******** huh?

I'm glad my Patriots take the high road!

you should be proud as hell. no class. that's one thing I can't say aobut the NEPs, but other than that, I hope you guys lose when you play us :lol:

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

I predict the Patriots will sweep their division and go 8-8.

[Dzone]

If Tebow plays, the Jets pull it out in the 4th quarter. Tebow would have had 250 yards rushing tonight

[BroncoNut]

neither of these lousy teams can keep up with buffalo or Miami

well good for you. you remembered the other team in the Division.. wow, impressive. can you post it again, but this time use the mascot names? that would be swell

[Army Bronco]

I didn't watch the game but what happened with the Jets WTE? You guys are saying they are classless. what happened? I know Rex has set a bad precedence there and its trickling down to the players.

[PatriotsGuy]

lol I love week 2 smack. 2-0 guys and 10 days for Gronk to get healthier
10 days for the rookies to get more experience
10 days for Amendola to heal up
see you in December, good luck Sunday

[WTE]

Mo's anger issues were on full display tonight in this thread.

[Dzone]

well good for you. you remembered the other team in the Division.. wow, impressive. can you post it again, but this time use the mascot names? that would be swell
lol...I dont think they have a chance against the marlins

[Canmore]

I think the Pats are up to the task, and they usually follow any less than stellar performance with an ass kicking of their next opponent.

Time to get your mojo on, men.

They certainly regained there mojo with that beat down of the Jets.

[Northman]

Man, im so impressed they beat the Jets by only 3 points. What a smackdown! The way things keep going i may just have to bench Brady and put in Flacco. lmao

[WTE]

Guys, I'm sorry NE failed to provide the highest level of execution and precise performance that you have become accustomed to for so many, many, many years.

[TXBRONC]

You're receivers are hot garbage and WTE you're still a dipshit.

[olathebroncofan]

I didn't watch the game but what happened with the Jets WTE? You guys are saying they are classless. what happened? I know Rex has set a bad precedence there and its trickling down to the players.

After Smith threw his 10th interception of the night, mangold dove fir the knees of whoever intercepted the ball while dude was out of bounds. An almost bench clearing brawl ensued. Punches were thrown, refs were pushed, and players ejected.

They should have kept Tebow for such a time as this. Tebow would have run for dinner of those first downs. Especially the one where the jets were either in the red zone or super close, and dude throws an interception.

I hate to say it, and I think some one else said it, but Sanchez wins that game last night. With all the dropped passes and miscommunication, Sanchez would have driven the jets down for at least 2-3 field goals.

All smack aside, the pats were lucky tonight, and seriously exposed. Once they get gronk back they will be ok until he gets hit in the back.

But a win is a win no matter how ugly. We as bronco fans should remember that. NEVER FORGET!

[BroncoNut]

Guys, I'm sorry NE failed to provide the highest level of execution and precise performance that you have become accustomed to for so many, many, many years.

[BroncoWave]

lol first it was 2-6, I think that is PFT throwing shit at a wall hoping that it sticks.

Or maybe Amendola is just as soft and fragile as everyone said he was. But hey, keep calling him Welker 2.0 if that makes you guys feel better about things! :lol:

FWIW, I heard this on NFL radio. I heard the 2-6 thing as well, but they said 4-5 this morning. Who knows?

[BroncoWave]

You guys sure are cocky for a team that's played one game. It's a long season.

Well my post didn't really have anything to do with the Broncos, so I'm not sure what your point it. I don't see how stating a fact that Amendola is injury prone makes me overconfident about the Broncos.

[VonDoom]

What a stirring victory for the Pats! I'm sure they were just keeping it close so that the NFL would get better ratings. That's Belichick for you - always thinking of others. But they had it under control the whole time, right? Congrats on the victory, putting them one step closer to 16-0.

[Skinny]

Guys, I'm sorry NE failed to provide the highest level of execution and precise performance that you have become accustomed to for so many, many, many years.

I think the Pats "Breakout" is broken WTE.

Can you provide an injury history for him that shows he is "injury prone"? That is repeated so often it's believed as much as the Patriots taped the Rams practice prior to the superbowl.

[BroncoWave]

The fact that in the last 2+ seasons he's missed 21 games? The fact that he couldn't make it until week 2 before he got hurt this season?

Outside of his first three years in the league 08'-10' he has been injured the last 3 years consistently.

[BroncoWave]

2011 - torn triceps - season ending
2012 - broken clavicle - 3 games
2012 - minor foot injury - 2 games

2013. Groin injury - somewhere from 2-6 games.

So yeah 4 injuries in 3 seasons keeping him out for multiple games each. Nope, no injury-proneness to see here!

[PatriotsGuy]

Yeah I just posted it. That's not injury prone just dumb luck. Anyway it's week 2, We can judge this all at the end of the season and see where they both end up (Wes and Amendola)

[CoachChaz]

Bad comparison.

What was the comparison?

[BroncoWave]

Well he wasn't in the league in 08, so he only has 2 seasons of a clean injury bill. As compared to 3 without one.

[CoachChaz]

What was the comparison?

Wes and Amendola and where they both end up at the end of the season

Wes and Amendola and where they both end up at the end of the season

Oh that's because what's his face called him Welker 2.0, I was talking to him.

[BroncoWave]

Oh that's because what's his face called him Welker 2.0, I was talking to him.

That's because literally every patriots fan has said losing Welker is no big deal because Amendola is the same player but younger.

Well, I don't know how many Patriots fans you are exposed to besides me, WTE, Bojangles and NEP. I'm sure one of them said it (probably NEP).

[TXBRONC]

Yeah I know, pft started it and everyone else parroted it. It might be true, who really knows though?

How do you know they didn't come up with their own sources?

[PatriotsGuy]

How do you know they didn't come up with their own sources?


I'm always doubtful when it comes to the Patriots and sources just based on how tight lipped they are all the time. I could be wrong but that's my knee jerk when I hear something like that.

[Mr Bojangles]

Sorry I couldn't join you for the fun last night, guys, but I went out to the pub to watch the game with some of my crew. It was along, long night, to say the least, made worse by having to endure three hours of negativity from one fellow Pats fan and the subtle phony commiseration from Pats-but-packers-first buddy who was obviously elated by the performance put on last night.

I can handle the negativity if it's reasonable, but coming from a guy who can't understand why NE ever runs the ball at all, why Brady doesn't complete 100% of his passes (since he gets paid so much money, or why all eleven players on offense can't all go out for a pass at once, if they want to...well, I end up feeling like I'm watching the damn game with Red, Thnik or MO. Just added to the pain.

But, as I tried to explain to Red in another thread, we learn something new everyday, and we're never too old to learn. Here's some of the things I gleaned from last night's game and this thread.

1. Pats' rookie receivers aren't there, just yet. And will take a little more time for these guys to synch with Brady. Physical skills aside, it takes time to develop the timing and route running and these guys haven't got it down yet. is

2. We need Amendola to be healthy to make this Offense go. Gronk's return will be huge, but that slot guy is key.

3. Pags is actually a big Pats' fan, after all. I could sense it for the first time in his comments. Sitting alone....no distractions allowed come KO...that's the way to watch the game. Fire in the belly! I always did that, too, but one guy's wife pleaded with me to watch a game with her husband, and that started it.....total ******* mistake. Great guy, but how do concentrate on the game when someone's second guessing every play. Swear, he could sour a lemon.

4. Right now, sadly, I can think of 15 teams in the AFC alone that could beat NE on any given night....not good for a brash, trash-talking NE booster's schtick. Pats' have a lot of work to do over the next ten days to get things gelling.

5. Denver fans appear to be correct.....If the Broncos handle the Giants in the same fashion they handled Baltimore, I'll be inclined to consider them the cream, and I may be forced to tone down the rhetoric.... Of course, even a busted clock is right, twice a day.

6. Brady could better serve the cause by holding his emotions in check during the game, regardless of how frustrated he gets with those young receivers.

7. Belichick is absolutely not the cold, heartless ***** that opposing fans love to portray. At the end of last night's game, he raised his fist in victory, and probably a bit in relief, at that triumph of the wills. Scoff if you want, but playing that poorly and yet pulling out the victory is a triumph of sorts in that league, and Beli put his emotions on display, even if only for that one brief moment.

8. WTE is the class of this forum.....handled every abusive comment with dignity last night. And it's pretty obvious, he is loved here.

And last, but not least...

9. I realized, after perusing the thread, that here is nothing at all wrong with Red, Thnik or MO......that a personality transplant couldn't fix

[Army Bronco]

I didn't watch the game but what happened with the Jets WTE? You guys are saying they are classless. what happened? I know Rex has set a bad precedence there and its trickling down to the players.

After Smith threw his 10th interception of the night, mangold dove fir the knees of whoever intercepted the ball while dude was out of bounds. An almost bench clearing brawl ensued. Punches were thrown, refs were pushed, and players ejected.

They should have kept Tebow for such a time as this. Tebow would have run for dinner of those first downs. Especially the one where the jets were either in the red zone or super close, and dude throws an interception.

I hate to say it, and I think some one else said it, but Sanchez wins that game last night. With all the dropped passes and miscommunication, Sanchez would have driven the jets down for at least 2-3 field goals.

All smack aside, the pats were lucky tonight, and seriously exposed. Once they get gronk back they will be ok until he gets hit in the back.

But a win is a win no matter how ugly. We as bronco fans should remember that. NEVER FORGET!I finally saw some highlights and saw the hit you mentioned. Crazy how people like him and Suh would try to do something like that. They are supposed to be professional athletes.

[Mr Bojangles]

Can you provide an injury history for him that shows he is "injury prone"? That is repeated so often it's believed as much as the Patriots taped the Rams practice prior to the superbowl.

That's the other bullshit perspective I had to listen to all last night...."Pats should have signed Welker....Pats should have signed them both..!" Yada, yada yada.

I liked that a lot too, it showed that he also respects the opponent and knows that no game is a gimme

[Mr Bojangles]

Well you're not denying it. "literally" might have been a tad hyperbolic, but that was definitely the prevailing sentiment from Pats fans this offseason.

Wave...if Welker had blown out his knee in game one instead of game 16, would you be thinking he too was injury prone? He would have missed nearly as many games as Amendola, right?

Timing....and bad luck is what we're talking about here.

DA showed last week that he could do everything, and maybe more given the age difference, that Welker could do. Same money = almost a no brainer.

As Pags says, let's analyze it after the season is over.

Yeah, total bullshit that your key off season free agent signing is injured after the first week when that was the his main red flag heading into free agency. And that your WR play seems to be totally ineffective. And that Welker seemingly hasn't missed a beat in Denver. Total bullshit criticism that folks have pulled out of thin air.

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

Yeah, it's not like Welker hasn't been one of the most reliable receivers in the league or the Amendola has a history of injury problems.

[SR]

You guys. Stop. Wes Welker is totally over rated and completely replaceable. Give it a rest. It was a fluke that he caught all those passes and scored all of those touchdowns all those years.

[Mr Bojangles]

Let me start by commending you, Buff, on your amazing 20-20 hindsight....I'm totally impressed. But I don't know why, because a lot of you seem possessed of that skill.

Reminds me a lot of all the gurus who predicted the Randy Moss signing, given his history, was a huge mistake....I seem to recall that paid off with a few dividends overall.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to your crystal ball, and neither do the Patriots, so we couldn't foresee the certainty of Amendola's setback, or the early season ineffectiveness of the Pats' new WRs as clearly as you did.

We'll just have to sit back and wait to see how things pan out over the long haul, I guess. I'll suggest to Bill that he contact you for your advice since you have such great access to future events.

Oh, and BTW.... I was referring to my negative fellow booster who thinks NE should have signed both slot receivers, apparently without any consideration of cap and roster numbers....so yeah, it was a totally bullshit perspective.

Do you think the Pats could have afforded both of these guys, Buff? What does your crystal ball tell you?

The Amendola signing wasn't so bad - what was bad was letting Welker walk over a couple million dollars after he'd been so productive and reliable. But the Patriots pride themselves on being smarter than everybody else. Welker wasn't worth the money. Good luck with your Aaron Dobson-led Super Bowl charge!

[Thnikkaman]

Hey Fried Chicken, could you change your avatar to something a bit more Safe for work. May i suggest this?

[Mr Bojangles]

Yeah, it's not like Welker hasn't been one of the most reliable receivers in the league or the Amendola has a history of injury problems.

So, Al...are you of the opinion that a player who has had the bad luck to have suffered a few unrelated injuries should never be considered, regardless of performance otherwise, and any team who signs him is crazy and shortsighted?

[Mr Bojangles]

But the Patriots pride themselves on being smarter than everybody else. Welker wasn't worth the money. Good luck with your Aaron Dobson-led Super Bowl charge!

Well, that's interesting because I was originally of the opinion that Welker deserved the do-re-mi, if for nothing else, his tremendous contributions to the Pats success. Also, I felt he was not finished as a slot receiver yet. Coupled with the fact that I didn't know much about AD, I thought it was a travesty not to reward Welker and retain his services. but that's not how the league works, at least not among the perennial front leaders and successful franchises. I doubt it had anything at all to do with arrogance, as you imply.

As far as being a "bad" move....you're once again displaying that hindsight, I think. Remember, when all this transpired, Hernandez was still on the roster and in the mix and NE had signed some FA vets at WR. They were beat out by the rookies who obviously must have shown something early on. The situation appears more dire because they haven't caught on as quickly as hoped, Gronk is still out, Hernandez is gone and Amendola suffered a setback after wowing NE fans in game one.

[BroncoNut]

I remember thinking, when NE signed Moss, that Moss would be an amazing signing and that he would have the best stats of his career with Tom Brady throwing him the ball. Maybe it's because I didn't pay too much attention, but I don't remember seeing a whole lot of negativity regarding Moss signing with NE due to the conception that if anyone could reel his "issues" in and keep them at bay it would be Belicheat.

Agreed. The only "red flag" i ever saw with the Moss signing was his attitude which ultimately reared its ugly head even with the Pats down the road.

Uhm.....that's a poor attempt to twist my post. I'm saying signing him to replace Welker was not a good idea. I suppose if you knew you had no shot at Wes Welker it was a good idea, but expecting him to replace Welker's production was not likely, and there were indicators of that.

[Thnikkaman]

Then there was the reported "Suck my dick" comment by Bill, picked up by a bystander, after the 45-? drubbing in Foxboro a couple years ago.

I'll go out on a limb and say there's a possibility that Bill doesn't care for the Jets very much.

That's not hindsight. People were saying those things the minute they let go Welker and signed Amendola.

Now that it has happened it's not hindsight, it's being right.

Try reading Buff's comment and then put my remarks into context.

Sure, people were aware of the "red flag', Captain Obvious, but that doesn't mean Amendola should have been be avoided at all cost. Sure, there was a chance he could get injured again, just like every other player in the League, including Welker. But to say "See...I told you so" on that basis (a completely unrelated to past history injuries) is hindsight.

I guess, using your logic, if Manning gets his neck broken this week, all those who said he should have never played again were "right".

The difference between Manning and Amendola is that for 13 years before Manning sat the year out he had never missed a game in his NFL (or college) football career. The risk was much less with Manning and his neck than it was/is for Amendola and his fragile...well...whole body. Also, the difference between Manning and Amendola is that Manning's injury, per his surgeons, therapists, trainers, etc is not any more susceptible to re-injury than any other person' is to a first injury. The risk with Manning wasn't that he was going to get his neck hurt again, it was whether or not he would return to form. The risk with Amendola always has been can he go a whole season without missing multiple games? Now that Amendola is NE's primary receiving threat, be that as it may, his health becomes that much more important and THAT is why so many people raised the flag when NE signed him.

[MOtorboat]

Don't you think that's a bit of an over-simplification of what ticked TB off, Coach....In all fairness?

How fitting that you call him TB. He is kind of like a disease.
