  1. This time a year ago, people were saying the same thing about Colin Kaepernick. That's the problem with being prisoner to the moment.

     

    Actually you can dig my posts up on the subject. I said Kap was a flash in the pan. To risky at QB and the wrong demeanor for a leader. I also said that Wilson was by far the best of all the young QB's. Wilson has the "It" factor that eludes many of the most gifted athletes.

  2. The Seahawks are a better overall team than any other.  Is Russell Wilson better than luck?  No way Jose.  

     

    When the Colts played the Broncos their defense gave up 24 first half points.  Seattle's d gave up 3.  If u don't understand what these numbers mean u don't get football.  

     

    Ask yourself "would I trade my qb for theirs?"  I don't think u would find one taker that is a Colts fan.  Not so long ago Big Ben was the greatest ever running a similar team.  Big Ben is really good but nobody even hints at him being in the "elite" company of Manning and Brady anymore.

     

     

    Who won that game?

  3. We're not going to lose to Jacksonville, Tennessee, Cleveland and Dallas....

    ...when the schedule came out...we ALL knew 0-2 was a possibility

    Very true on the 0-2. I see 1-3 at best in the games mentioned. Cleveland isn't a pushover and Dallas is on par with Indy.

  4. Which teams do you cheer for in sports?

     

    I'm a Boston sports fan.

     

    I think this is the beginning of the end of the Brady era in NE for a couple of reasons.

     

    1.)  He's 37 and declining.

    2.)  Pats look like they got a good replacement in Garoppolo.

    3.)  The Pats' organization needs some soul searching to be a super bowl winner or they'll continue to go 12-4 and lose in the play offs every year.

    4.)  Belichick's philosophy and ways I think are a hindrance now.  He doesn't know how to build a good defense or draft good consistently.  There's been more busts under Belichick than great players drafted.

    5.)  The AFC East is getting better and more competitive and the Pats can't rest on relying on others in the division to lose to benefit themselves.

     

     

    Some truth and some garbage to your post IMO. I do know that they are the only team that a 12-4 record without a SB is considered a failed season. Why they're held to a higher standard than the other 31 teams is anyone's guess. Envy? Unmatched prolonged success? Organizational excellence? Do you know why? 

  5. Yeah, but didn't they have more a complete team that year with a good offensive line, good defensive line, Charlie Weis and Romeo Crennel?

     

    This current Pats' team has so many flaws at the most important positions (O-line and D-line).  They're run game isn't that good either.

     

     

    Yes that was a good young O-line and a solid D. I 'm not to worried about the O-line but the D scared me. I expected a noticeable improvement immediately and it was like watching last years D play WITHOUT Talib in the lineup.

  6. What's wrong with having a real defensive coordinator?  They haven't had a good defense since Crennel left.  Belichick's way doesn't work and it hasn't worked since the Pioli/Weis/Crennel days.  Those defenses in the early 2000's under Belichick, well many of those guys were drafted by Parcels and Carroll.

     

    Many Pats' fans can't connect the dots.

     

    There's a good dose on truth here but BB's had some very good points against D's.
