    Gone Brady Gone

    Head-to-head with Brees, twice a year. That's must-see-TV

    Gone Brady Gone

    That's pretty funny when you think about it: "What's the compensation for losing the greatest QB of all time in free agency?" "3rd Round pick" "Ok, then"

    Gone Brady Gone

    My guess is that any Pats fan who lived through the pre-Kraft era is at peace with this. We KNOW what came before. Tom Brady had 20 seasons with the Pats, and in the 18 that he started and finished, he took us to 9 Super Bowls and won 6 of them. No other quarterback is EVER going to approach...

    2020 TB12: The Decision 2020

    Here's what we know (based on the actions and statements of TB12): - He's never been "about the money" - He wants to play until he's 45 - He wants to win Super Bowls So as long as we're doing hypotheticals: "I can't be Tom Brady if the O-Line is a revolving door and I'll never last out the...

    2019 Game Goat Thread: Wk. 14 vs Chiefs

    Having the booth review "all scoring plays" should be exactly that. It was a scoring play and obviously the booth could see it. It's a logic fail that the booth can't step in when the guys on the field screw up (which happens so often that they created this rule in the first place). A scoring...

    2019 NFL Draft Rounds 2 & 3 Game Thread - No Spoilers

    If the Pats are going all-in on pounding the rock, don't want the strategy resting in the hands of one guy. Smart move.

    Thank You, Hondo

    For all his skills, John Havlicek is one of the few guys of whom you can legitimately say "and a better human being". Interesting note in the above clip - Havlicek was drafted in the 7th round by the Browns (who cut him).

    Greatest play in Patriots History?

    It's funny, that you make the comparison, because that's exactly why I rate the Roberts steal as equivalent to the Vinatieri kick. WPA is an interesting stat, but it's limited to a single game. Maybe for other teams in other cities, where there haven't been dynasties or transitions from long...

    Then start a new thread. That's not the topic of this one.

    Greatest play in Patriots History?

    The nature of the play absolutely factors in, but there are other things which made this so critical: 1) The kick doesn't go through and the Patriots lose. That directly affects the following: - No "First Dynasty". Assuming they still win a pair of Super Bowls in 03 and 04, that's not enough to...

    Greatest play in Patriots History?

    True, I should have omitted the bolded part, as the high leverage aspects were essentially equal for Butler and Vinatieri.

    Greatest play in Patriots History?

    That's an excellent point - the 7 for 7 on made kicks is pretty remarkable! But to quibble a bit on the Janikowski field goal comp, the winds and the rate of snowfall weren't constant throughout the game. I looked back at some old video and there was less snow on the field and the winds weren't...

    Undrafted free agent, so another "Butler-esque" Patriot player.

    Greatest play in Patriots History?

    I'm not moving the goalposts, although there's a decent chance the wind was doing that during the Snow Bowl! But kidding aside, one reason the Vinatieri field goal gets the nod is because it was the precursor to the glory era. Not an event which led to its continuation. It was a great play...

    Greatest play in Patriots History?

    Believe me, I understand the sentiment in favor of the Butler INT. Until that moment, it felt like some sort of curse had settled in, dooming the franchise to lose Super Bowls because of ridiculous catches. But at that point the Pats had already achieved dynasty status with 3 wins in 4 years...

    Greatest play in Patriots History?

    The case against the Butler play is that it didn't win the Super Bowl. He could have dropped the ball and the Seahawks still had to score a TD. Granted, they were on a roll and it certainly *seemed* like a TD was inevitable, but we don't know that. But even if the Pats had lost the game and it...

    Greatest play in Patriots History?

    The Vinatieri 45 yarder in a driving blizzard. All the rest are a distant second. Not only was it the necessary precursor for all the Super Bowl awesomeness to follow, but it came against the hated Raiders. As with the 04' Sox, the curse wasn't mentally broken by the World Series victory against...

    Gronk announces his retirement

    A generational talent. Really happy for him, but man, that guy will be missed.

    It's not your WIFI printer....it's Windows 10

    I don't disagree with your general sentiment. But in cases where multiple people are sharing the printer or you'd like to position it without regard to length of cord, a cable isn't always the best solution. Plus, if the device has WIFI capability, it's kind of annoying to lose that feature...
