Brady's Bedtime Buddies

WE definitely need to keep an eye on the Pats & see what the press says about them mid and late season. If the Pats fail or struggle, they will inevitably be compared to the Skins.

They deserve all the praise they get, but I just don't see them taking this team that far. I see 9-7, maybe a wild card. Of course on paper they've improved, but over the last couple of years on paper they've also regressed when they lost key players.

Everybody said they'd slip & they didn't. Well, now we may see at least a slight drop. My reasons for feeling this way are simply that they have changed the formula that got them super bowls. Maybe they will be able to get this team to gel, but in the last 2 years they've let some vets go while now bringing in some vet guys, which seriously alters the team's chemistry.

It also seems like their O line needed some help last year, but I can't say specifically that it's a weakness at all.

Ripping it up? I'd give you adequate with what he was given.

Yeah, 7th in the NFL in passing yards isn't very good considering his targets...yes, I'd say he was ripping it up.

You are also leaving out the number one pick from last year Chad Jackson and a stud TE.

Bottom line is they have Tom Brady. No one spreads it around like he does. Plus the guy sees the entire field. I mean if they pick up one more first down against Ind. they are playing in the SB. And they would have been playing with some hammy down WR's. So the guys they have now are upgrades. Then you add in Randy Moss. I know a lot of NFL teams would like to have Moss, Stallworth and Kelly Washington/Chad Jackson. I would rather have that threesome then Moss, Lloyd and ARE.

Yes, I left out the players who were on the team last year on purpose, I was talking about the new additions. And I'll make this point again... You can say that the Pats were one 1st down away from playing in the Superbowl, but I say they were one Charger fumble, a fluke charger fumble at that, from not even playing in the AFC championship.

Do you really think that anyone is going to jump on your bandwagon and nitpick the Pats? As a Skins fan, I'd love to be in their position right now.

This is not a bandwagon. I'm entitled to my opinion. I'm not nitpicking, I'm just making some points.

Unfortunately, your points were weak at best.

Do you remember what Stallworth did to the Skins last year?

Well Manusky, I respect the fact that you think my points are "weak at best." Fortunately for me, I don't give a shit what you think.
You pointing out that Stallworth had a big game against the Skins last year is really what's weak at best. The Skins had the worst defense in the league. Wow, Stallworth had a good game against the worst defense in the league, I'm really impressed now. He must be awesome.

I thought you were in the "Brunell isn't getting it done" corner because top 10-12 wasn't good enough. Brady was better than 10-12 (at least by pass yardage), but if 7th is ripping it up, and 9th or 12th or whatever Brunell was when he got benched isn't, where's the line?

I thought Brady had a sub par year by his own standards. I don't think Caldwell and Gaffney are world beaters of course, but Brady had done much better with mediocre-to-good guys like Branch and Troy Brown, so I don't think having slightly different mediocre receivers changed very much.

Do you remember what play action does to Sean Taylor...like every time?

Yes, damn that QB trickery.
