Gonna have some fun at the Linc in 2 weeks!
I, along with everyone else, totally forgot about this clown. He knows this isn't a thing anymore, right?Lane Johnson continues to come across as an asshole.

You've just described Lane Johnson.this is rote and dumb.
A-You are correctI readily admit:
A. I don't know who this guy is, other than guessing he talked trash after the Eagles won the superbowl.
B. What the the "thing" that is not a thing anymore was.
In my desire for maximum enlightenment, I would accept explanations.
If you google Lane Johnson you get this bozo...but your point still stands.Funny when just googling Lance Johnson I get the former Whitrsox CF. So this shtick is a chance for an OL guy to get some attention.
Yeah, but how does he feel about winning six Super Bowls?Lane Johnson (not Lance) talked a lot of shit about the Patriots in the lead-up to the Super Bowl two years ago, all through that off season after they beat the Patriots. It was a little weird.
“There was obviously some stuff behind closed doors. Their owner talking s— to our owner. Bill talking s— to our head coach (Doug Pederson) before the game. I’m not going to say it, but a lot of s— kind built up to that, and I just got tired of hearing about it, man, to be honest.”
Basically, I'm not going to say something, but let me say something about something that may have happened behind closed doors and that someone told me about but that I didn't witness.
He seems to think the Patriots are arrogant and that the way the team prepares (the Patriot way) for games is too much work. He called the Patriots a fear-based organization.
“Here’s what pissed me off,” Johnson said, via ESPN’s Tim McManus. “The Patriots, obviously, I respect their coach, I respect Bill (Belichick), I respect Tom Brady, but just because the way that they won the Super Bowls, the Patriot Way, is that how everybody else is supposed to do the same thing? No, it’s not. And that’s what I got mad at, the arrogance by them."
Like, the Patriots as an organization want his team to prepare the same way that they prepare? No one in the Patriots organization gives a shit about you or how you prepare.
Most famously, though, and this is what his tweet was in reference to, he said “Not to be reckless, but I’d much rather have fun and win a Super Bowl than be miserable and win five Super Bowls. But hey, it is what it is.”
BB talked shit to or about the Eagles coach before the game?“There was obviously some stuff behind closed doors. Their owner talking s— to our owner. Bill talking s— to our head coach (Doug Pederson) before the game. I’m not going to say it, but a lot of s— kind built up to that, and I just got tired of hearing about it, man, to be honest.”
Posting about it is not crying about it. It's bye week talk on a message board.Patriots fans are absurdly thin skinned.
Just because you think something is insufferable doesn’t make it so. It’s light banter during a bye week. There are plenty of better opportunities to make your point than this thread.Just because everyone else is doing it doesn't make it any less insufferable. For the record, I am a Pats fan.
I made the original post in a thread called Eagles Chatter. My post was about something an Eagles player said. You know, as in chatter. Chatter from an Eagles player even. A bunch of other people asked who Lane Johnson was. Clarity was provided.Like where? There have been like 12 posts complaining about mean things Lane Johnson said about the Patriots and how he's an idiot and sucks and clearly doesn't like winning. It's comically insecure.
We get it. You’re the rare, level-headed Patriots fan (thanks for the clarification). You could have easily ignored this thread. You chose not to and instead decided to play thread police. I find that to be insufferable.Like where?

Norm van Brocklin was born in a town called Parade, and died in a town called Social Circle.Back to Eagles chatter folks.
Nicknamed "The Dutchman", he was a QB and a punter. One roster spot for two valuable positions. BB is slacking.Norm van Brocklin was born in a town called Parade, and died in a town called Social Circle.
Was he Dutch like Honus Wagner or Dutch like Jonathon Schoop?Nicknamed "The Dutchman", he was a QB and a punter. One roster spot for two valuable positions. BB is slacking.
If they saw a van in your name back then, they may have called a you a Dutchman, which van Brocklin was. Honus was actually of German heritage, like the great German composer Richard Wagner. Honus got that nickname from a Richard Wagner opera of the same name. Long two weeks here.Was he Dutch like Honus Wagner or Dutch like Jonathon Schoop?

Thanks for the painful memories. God that game was infuriating.Edelman finally off the list? good to see.
also any given Sunday... last time we faced the Eagles in the regular season the Pats laid a complete turd at home, part of that horrible slide that slowly cost us a Super Bowl 50 appearance...
Cowart actually played more snaps last game than he had all year, though that was likely Jackson related. If Cowart is active again, you would think that means that two of Olszewski, Harry and LaCosse are inactive. Maybe one if Chung can’t go.Any early word on if Harry is likely to play? Seems like the offense was finding a groove spreading out BAL. Given the Eagles defensive backs, you have to think that's in play again.
I was in college in Philly from 1983-87. Most of my schoolmates were NY and Philly sports fans but there were a few of us from New England. I went to this game with a friend from Mass.Thanks for the painful memories. God that game was infuriating.
OK, so here’s some more bad Eagles-related memories. When the Pats played the them at home in 2007, I took my son and his friend (they were 11 at the time) to the game. My son was a BIG Eagles fan at the time (blame it on Madden), and had brainwashed his friend to be the same. So they’re both decked out in Eagles gear. I’ve got on a Pats hat, but that’s it for team gear.
The game starts and the fans around us are more amused than anything else by my two junior Philly fans. That slowly shifts until, at some point late in the 3Q people really start to become concerned that NE could lose, and then it gets ugly real fast. Grown men are throwing hostile comments at me and the kids. My son and his friend at first think it's all a big joke but at some point realize these guys are serious, and that's about the same time I decide that we’re outta here. I grab the kids and start to leave, but even that was an adventure as drunk Pats fans were prowling the concessions area, and a couple of times I was convinced someone was going to try and rip their jerseys off.
Thank god no one did and we made it to the parking lot unscathed, and soon were on our way.
The madness of crowds at sporting events is a real thing. I don’t care what team it is.
“we can’t allow that to affect us moving forward” (Slater) is an invaluable life lesson. It works both ways but is particularly redeeming after a big setback. This is key to avoiding a downward spiral, where you basically accept a negative narrative about your life and unwittingly go about fulfilling it.Great article here about how the Patriots were able to overcome the SB 52 loss to Philly...

From media reports, Harry was caught in a numbers crunch because they wanted to have extra D-linemen available against Baltimore. I think he goes this week.Any early word on if Harry is likely to play? Seems like the offense was finding a groove spreading out BAL. Given the Eagles defensive backs, you have to think that's in play again.
It is an interesting situation (with a lack of a true deep threat for Wentz) , though I think Gilmore's speed would be wasted and he will be isolated against the weak side WR (Jeffrey/Matthews) to allow a doubles on the others on the strong side. Wentz is historically great against the blitz, so do the Pats rush 3 or 4 and play a low zone?I really think we will see some of Gilmore on Ertz on Sunday.
Yep. If the Eagles run successfully, they're probably going to winCurran: "... the Eagles can run it. They’ve been over 4 yards per carry in every game but two this season and ran for 364 in their last two contests against pretty stout defenses – Chicago and Buffalo."
The Ravens are simply an outlier, because Jackson is a singular threat which carries over to the run game as a whole. But they gave up 150-plus to Chubb and company the week before as well. It would behoove them to tighten the run D
Frank Gore was effective too, in one of the few games they've played where it was close enough for the opponent to try to get a running game going. The Washington team also ran effectively, though the one big run kind of skews things and that game wasn't all that close so it's hard to take much out of it.Curran: "... the Eagles can run it.

I suspect that will be one of those 30 for 30 things after Bill and Brady have retired... and the truth will be far less exciting than what we all have built up in our heads.Does anyone else find it surprising that we never heard anything about what happened with Malcolm Butler in the super bowl? I wouldn't expect BB to spill the beans of course. But, I do find it surprising that after all this time, no former player, no friend of MB, no former coach, no one - anywhere, ever leaked what was going on? Is that because only BB knows? That would seem a bit odd to me for two reasons, #1) is the Pats coaching situation so that no other coaches can ask a question and get an answer? It's an exaggeration, but could BB say "Brady is not starting this week" and no coach would ask for an explanation? I hope not. #2) Would MB not deserve at least some conversation as to why he wasn't playing?
