Congrats to Miami, they were able to close out at the end of last two games, they deserved it. Sucks we didnt have Rondo healthy as I would have liked to see how we would do but you cant change that, Miami beat us. Not sure where we go from here to be honest. Definitely need to add some guys if we want another shot. Big 3 will keep getting older and while I think they can all still play, they cant go as long or quite as good as before so we will need something. Perkins trade just keeps feeling worse and worse. Might have cost us the title.

Wow talk about some bullshit. Stupid flagrant earlier, yet the Jones foul on Pierce isnt one? Then kicking out Pierce on that screen, we can see how the refs will be this series. Also James Jones totally threw his head back, Pierce face grazed his he didnt headbutt him. Probably would have lost this game anyways but every time we have gone on a run its been stopped by some bullshit.

Yeah we needed OL with Light a FA and Mankins getting the tag. We completed revamped our running game though, we had spots with Faulk, Morris, Taylor expiring. It looks like we might run the ball more this year, if we can add a real good run game our offense is scarier with our TEs(I know BJGE ran for 1k but he never really scared you and he failed on drives a lot on 3rd/4th and 1-2s when he got stuffed). We can never have enough CBs as we learned last year losing Bodden, Dowling is a great athlete and only slipped because of injuries this year. Wish we would have gotten a OLB but with the young guys on our team our defense will only improve and I am guessing BB felt with the lockout hurting rookies coming in and the way our team played last year we could replenish some spots for the future and continue our revamp to be a more physical offensive team. I am fine with no WR as I think our roster now we can do well there this year. As for Mallett its just a value pick. Carrying a 3rd QB isnt a bad thing and Mallett could net us a 1st or 2nd in the future from a QB needy team, or even Hoyer. Plus having a quality backup is never a bad thing. As long as Brady is around and healthy he is our guy but as we saw in '08 you need a backup. But as always with the draft we will never know until we see these guys play.

Frank Ocean is my favorite from Odd Future his mixtape is just awesome.

Just go to the person who is posting all these vids channel. http://www.youtube.com/user/trizzy66 Its all teenage girls singing some song and then that black guy comes in to rap a few lines like 2/3 of the way through randomly.

I bet if they were in LA and Kobe denied to sign something for the Celtics ball boy you guys would love it and say how awesome he is. It was a Lakers Ball Boy why should KG or any Celtic have to sign something for this Laker fan?

It was really a terrible decision for Peyton Manning to stay an extra year in college. Same for Bradford(who did get injured and missed most the season but is fine now). Just awful decisions I am pretty sure it didn't work out for them.

Both teams these guys played suck. Sorry if I don't think Vick having 3 turnovers and 2 TDs is the same as Brady with 3 TDs and no turnovers.

Vick really looking like an MVP tonight. Looks like those "prorated" stats people love to throw around about if he played all 16 games forgets that he cant put up those same numbers every game for a whole season.

I think Packers/Saints for NFC. I can see the Packers beating the Giants. AFC looks like: 1. Patriots 2. Steelers 3. Colts (or Jaguars if Colts slip) 4. Chiefs(could be Chargers if Chiefs lose a game) 5. Ravens 6. Jets Not sure of specific order but those teams should be in for the most part(other then those AFC South/West division teams which could change)

Maybe I just don't understand what you did but how could he complete 72% of his passes when he is only completing 63% on the year and has gone over 66.7% only twice(once was the Redskins game he got hurt in and went 5/7 passing). Also how would his passer rating be 105 when he only has 3 games over 103.3(though 103.6 is his season average). Just curious.

Yeah but he didn't play in those games so we don't know what would have happened. You say he almost has as many touchdowns, but he also has more turnovers in 9 games then Brady has in 14.

Oops he lost to CHI, my bad should of noted that. Yeah we played 3 of those teams they played. They only have 4 wins against teams with winning records. The Patriots have beaten 7 winning teams, PIT, IND, BAL, SD, NYJ, CHI, GB, I think thats quite a bit stronger opponents then the Eagles have faced. But you play the schedule you are given. I don't think its really an argument that the Patriots have played tougher teams and Brady has been on fire with a 12-2 record, leading the NFL.

Well in the games he has played the whole game he has gone over 300 total yards 6 of the 9 games. He has gone over 330 total yards 4 times. But look at who those wins have come against. @DET, @JAC, IND, @WAS, NYG, HOU, @DAL, @NYG. Only the Jaguars, Colts and Giants have a winning record. Not exactly the best opponents. Brady has 31TDs 4INT 109.9 passer rating in 14 games and has beaten some of the best teams in the league. Vick has been great this year but so has Brady for the team with the best record in a tougher AFC and has played 5 more games then Vick has.

Not to mention what Bill Cowher said on Boston radio(I think it was 2 weeks ago? Or was 3). Basically he said that the league took it out on the Pats because the media blew it up(he was talking to them about the Broncos filming and how the fines were different). He then said that the filming was no big deal and that it didn't change anything the Pats accomplished. Did tape change Bradys amazing accuracy or make the Pats shut down the Steelers, he didn't think so and said they were better. He also said that he did the same thing(so many coaches have admitted they have now) but they would film and have people in the stands writing/drawing/filming the play calls. But of course this never got play on ESPN cause they hate the Pats. People just want to use spygate because they are jealous or hate the Pats and the media hates the Patriots because they don't give into the media like other teams do.

McCourty has been amazing and I think the great thing is he has been improving not only every week but even mid game. I have seen him get a penalty(earlier in the year) and go to the sideline talking about what he did wrong and later in the game you see them throw to his side and he doesn't make the same mistake again. Kid is going to be amazing, I remember everyone upset we drafted a "special teams" player with our top pick, it sure does look like he will be a special player.

I am hoping that they decided to hold him out as a precaution just because we were winning by so much. We will see though, if he misses any time it will hurt. I was really glad to see Butler/Arrington step up though with him out, they were pretty solid.

Agreed. When Revis went out for some reason the Patriots decided it was time to show Moss how much they appreciate him by throwing to him over and over again even though he wasn't open and losing the game. Should have kept spreading it around like in the first half and having 3-4 WRs with a TE on the field. @ECN that called run back sucked. I wish we would have kept giving the ball to Taylor later on and not Green-Ellis every run was like no gain. Taylor seemed to do well at the start but they went away from him. If they kept with him and spreading it out I think the offense would have been much better like in first half when they really couldn't stop us, but one nice catch from Moss and Revis gone makes us suddenly lock in on him. Also all the penalties killed us, we could have stopped them a few times if not for that. The late hit on Banta-Cain was stupid, it was a late hit but a wussy late hit lol. Just a dumb move on his part, keeping a drive alive with 15yd penalty. Then Butler getting the pass interference calls, on the first one he had his arm on him, and turned around and batted the ball, if he had just turned around he could have picked it or stopped it, no way it was completed too low. Then the next one he kind grabbed him on his way back but it looked like he probably wouldn't have caught it anyways, just bad moves. Without that we would have had some stops. But the combo of offensive not doing anything second half and dumb penalties on defense kept the defense on the field so they were tired and couldnt stop them. Frustrating to say the least.

Once Revis was out for some reason we decided to go away from what was working all day and Brady just locked in on Moss and kept trying long passes to him, I don't get it. We have so many weapons why do that? I am fine taking a shot 1-2 times a game to him long but to do it so many times is dumb, especially when we have so many guys and were moving the ball pretty well before that. Needed to keep spreading it out with 5 guys, we were rolling, then we suddenly go away from what works cause Revis pretends his hammy hurts. Our defense needed a rest and our offense couldn't give it to them with awful play calling and execution in the second half.

Not surprised given we really had no use for him unless injuries happened and in his time here he just hasn't performed well consistently. Also he is in the last year of his deal.

Lol yeah, are defense sucks, we have no run game and the Bengals D will easily stop us. Thats what everyone was saying. This game just made me even more excited then I already was for next week.

The defense was great ECN. When the game was close they dominated, then in second half when it wasnt even close they made them go on long clock consuming drives to move the ball down the field by giving them the short stuff. Pats were great overall,

Just a great game for us. Defense looked really good, offense was good. Go Pats!!!

Great to see, he deserves it. The media made a big deal when it wasn't he was never going anywhere

I only got a PS3. So if anyone wants to play, add me PSN: aluvium I see now in the PSN/XBL thread it lists me as XBL but in my post I wrote PSN. Just a typo in there.
