Hey, draftniks – it’s that time again! And this time, @SMU_Sox has helped define a better-than-before draft contest approach, one that plays out in two parts. As in past years, you get to pick 20 players for the Pats. Please submit these as last name, first name, position, school. There aren’t...

WHen @SMU_Sox and I were setting up the draft contest, we had a follow-on in mind. And now that the season has finally begun, it's time! The Pats roster currently lists 15 newcomers, 10 rookies and five vets. Which of these guys will have the most impact in 2020? Please list the top five...

Hey folks - sorry, I'm very late with this. Whadda mean, it's Thursday! Thanks to SMU Sox for waking me from my SIP slumber... For anyone who wants to play, scoring is just like previous years: three points for each player selected by the Pats in the first three rounds - 4 for round 4, 5 for...

New year, new thread for BB! I loved today's press conference (and actually, I love that transcripts are a feature of patriots.com). Check out the sequence of five questions on Casserio about 1/3 of the way down (and who asks this crap, anyway?). As a bonus, he's asked: Q: What are your...

Hey folks! We're approaching another draft, and that means...time to try our annual 'think along with Bill' game! This year's contest is (as per the title) both new and improved. On the 'new' side, please join me in welcoming SMU_Sox as co-host of the contest! And with SMU's $100 comes a new...

Has 'Ask PFW' been banished from patriots.com? It's supposed to be weekly, but I don't see anything after Feb 26. And that was a Scalavino "piece" - that's would be an unfortunate end for a good Pats column.

My default for ESPN is www.espn.com/boston - but today, the link doesn't resolve, even though espn.com is fine. Does anyone know if they killed /boston?

Everybody's favorite feature: key plays from a Pats win! https://www.patriots.com/video/belichick-breakdown-top-plays-against-the-texans Lots of red zone

Nine days until the draft, and...I'm feeling a need to demonstrate that I'm out of my depth when I try to 'think along with Bill.' Anyone else feel like prognosticating? Unlike last year, when the Pats had no 1 or 2, they now (at least as of today) have 2 1s, 2 2s, and a bunch of other picks -...

This may not be the right place for this question, but I can't think of where else to ask it. In Sunday's Gray Cup game, Calgary led Toronto by 8 (24-16) with 5 minutes left, and were driving for another touchdown to clinch the game. Calgary completes a pass, but the receiver fumbles on the 1...

This is a running joke on SoSH. And yet, here's what the standings look like as of now: Bills 3-1 Pats 2-2 Jets 2-2 Fins 1-2 (note - I'd paste a table from NFL.com but I don't know how tables work any more. Please let me know how to find the new Tableizer!) History suggests that the Pats will...

By popular demand (okay, I only got one email on it, but Pappymojo is popular, right?), it's back! Unlike last year, when the Pats had no 1, they now (at least as of today) have no 1 or 2. What does this mean? a) I'm highly unlikely to guess any of the draft picks correctly, and b) someone else...

Riffing off a recent back-and-forth in another thread...here's a chance to show off your skills as a playoff prognosticator and do the Jimmy Fund a solid at the same time. It works like this. Predict the total point differential (positive or negative) for the Pats in this year's playoffs. You...

I didn't see anything about the practice squad, and new threads are good, so... Withthe signing of Vinny Sunseri and Mike Hilton (ex-Jacksonville), the Pats have a full practice squad roster. As of now, here is the full complement of 10: http://www.patriots.com/team/roster

"This town...ain't nothing but a ghost town..." Slow days on BBtL, with nothing happening in football. But I need something to read here! So...question for any of you who are reading this. What story line are you a) hoping to see in training camp, that b) has an actual impact on the team during...

Like everyone here, I'm pissed about the first round...but there's still a draft, the Pats will be making picks, and it's time to offer an opportunity for bragging rights to a SoSHer, and some dough to a charity. So...here's the contest for 2016. You get to name 20 players who you think the...

Frank Kearse, backup DL, recently of the Washingtons... http://espn.go.com/blog/new-england-patriots/post/_/id/4791021/on-instagram-dt-frank-kearse-highlights-new-beginnings-with-patriots

I'm sick to death of monitoring a half dozen threads to react, angrily, to yet another attack on the NEP.   So...I'd rather have a thread that celebrates the reasons I love rooting for this team.   Here's a start: BB's latest press...

I haven't seen any mention of this item from ESPN: Pats put Dominique Easley on PUP list.   This sucks, and also raises the spectre of "biggest Pats draft bust ever..."   On the brighter side of things, the LBs aren't on the PUP.   No doubt there will be people coming and going from PUP, IR, and...

My first binkie in this forum, Joe Gunkel, is now off to the Sons of Mark Belanger. I'd been wanting to start something on Jordan Procyshen anyway, and with the trade, I thought the time had come. So...   From milb.com:   Full Name: Jordan Procyshen Age: 22 (March 11, 1993)...
