Damn Levi, I didn’t think it was possible for someone to hate the Patriots more than me.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:They are finished. THere's no grand plan. They clearly have no idea what they are doing.
So it was their "plan" to purposely not pick a franchise quarterback until the 6th round for before going on to win multiple championships to prove the coach is magical? and now he has somehow lost said magical powers?! interesting
Quoted from CrazyLevi:What I do know is the Pats are gonna blow for the foreseeable and it's gonna be awesome watching the Jets, Dolphins, and Bills pile up the wins in a half-empty Foxboro.
On this we agree

That’s pretty much what I said, yes.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:No, I don't think they would have gone to 9 super bowls or whatever had it played out that way. But I guess we'll never know.
What I do know is the Pats are gonna blow for the foreseeable and it's gonna be awesome watching the Jets, Dolphins, and Bills pile up the wins in a half-empty Foxboro.
it'll be like the old Steve Grogan days! Maybe they'll bring back the old astroturf.
The Patriots lost to the Dolphins last game of regular season in a meaningful game (seeding) and lost to a mediocre Titans team in the playoffs during Bradys last year there.
I agree entirely that Brady is THE GOAT, but lets not pretend Bill B is a bad, or even mediocre coach. His team went to shit. Brady hand picked his next team and won a super bowl.
You hate the Patriots almost as much as I hate the Steelers, which is respectable.
Quoted from hwyhed:Brees has announced that he’s retired. Next stop..Canton
Hopefully he can keep his fuckin mouth shut on politics, he really seemed intent of fucking up his tv gigs for a while.
Glad he’s retiring. Probably hung around a year too long but doesn’t seem too worse for the wear. He was a great qb, I saw several games in New Orleans during their super bowl run and it was a sight to see!
Quoted from TheLaw:Looks like a decent deal all around.
I clearly dont know anything. Glad we were able to get a deal done, I figured the rosenhaus signing was the end of the road.
The Taysom Hill contract is pretty interesting, 4yr/140 million, but entirely voidable after 1 year. Teams are getting pretty creative with freeing up cap space.

https://sports.yahoo.com/amphtml/here-are-signals-saints-are-sending-in-their-phantom-140-million-extension-with-taysom-hill-032108446.html
Can anyone explain what the thinking is here? I know nothing about Taysom Hill and that looks like a ton of money, but protections in place in the event he shits the bed after 1 season?
Not arguing who its a good deal for, its just way over my head. Maybe I am overthinking it.
Patriots signed tight end Jonuu Smith and should have 8 players back that sat out last season (assuming all 8 return). plus free agency has just began and the draft yet. finish this sentence:
I think old Bill is gonna surprise Levi with ____wins next season!
*I'll say at least 8.49 wins

They also sign LB Matthew Judan from Bal for 4yr/56 million, they’re spending a ton of money of free agents, which is something they normally don’t do.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Seems like the Pats are desperate to win the offseason.
It's unseemly! That's not the Patriot Way!
They did have the 2nd most cap space behind the Jets. I think they’re just trying to prove you wrong.
Well I know from experience that overpaying a bunch of mediocre vets in the offseason never backfires on desperate teams!
Quoted from CrazyLevi:What I do know is the Pats are gonna blow for the foreseeable and it's gonna be awesome watching the Jets, Dolphins, and Bills pile up the wins in a half-empty Foxboro....it'll be like the old Steve Grogan days!
Uff, so even in their weakened state they'll still make a SB?!
Quoted from TheLaw:Uff, so even in their weakened state they'll still make a SB?!
I meant the 1-15 Steve Grogan days.
And they sign CB Jalen Mills from Phi for 4/24 million, I agree that signing a bunch of free agents rarely works.
Shaq Barrett and Lavonte David back in TB..... Two critical signings for TB.... Glad to have both around.
Washington doing absolutely nothing with its massive cap space as of yet. Not even signing its own players to extentions. Also rumblings of Mitchell Trubiskey.

You mean he might say something that you disagree with!Damn it will just fire his ass!
Quoted from TheLaw:KC got a needed OL too
After spending half a billion on a QB last season. Meanwhile, the Bengals who have THE worst oline in the NFL are out to lunch.
Im used to it.
Quoted from Dee-Bow:what I wonder is if that sore on his face will finally heal..
Got to resolve the herpes before he goes on camera. One evening of Bob Costas’ pink eye soured me on the olympics for years!
Quoted from Erik:Lol that Dupree contract! Tennessee's ceiling is 7-9
Wow, at least it’s only 3 years. I haven’t seen the guaranteed money on it.
Quoted from Dee-Bow:Brees put his foot in his mouth over the kneeling during the anthem days..in honor of who-dey.. let's just say they shared the same opinion! but what I wonder is if that sore on his face will finally heal..
You libs are just angry and mean!
God bless the queen Megan sucks balls!
Fitzmagic is bringing his talents & beard to the Redskins errr WFT! I hope that he slings it, and helps the skins errr WFT contend for the division! That division was a fn train wreck last year, yet, I still followed what was goin on..
Quoted from Dee-Bow:well it saves that Heineken kid from getting burrow'd. he can learn from the comforts of the bench.. until the magic runs out
Week 6
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Washington doing absolutely nothing with its massive cap space as of yet. Not even signing its own players to extentions. Also rumblings of Mitchell Trubiskey.
The Cowboys only got a long snapper 
Quoted from Daditude:The Cowboys only got a long snapper
An often underlooked player of importance!!!
Quoted from jandrea95:Meanwhile, the Bengals who have THE worst oline in the NFL are out to lunch.
They signed Hendrickson from Saints to replace Lawson but I'm really not all that excited about it. They need to get off the damn couch dump Bobby Hart and a couple others and get some OL players in there.
Rumor is Dalton may be headed to Chicago which doesn't make a lot of sense with Foles there but it's the Bears so who knows.
Quoted from Jaybird815:Interesting that the Patriots also sign Hunter Henry to go along with Jonuu Smith.
2 things,
1. Return to their vaunted 2 TE packages without a murderer
2. When your QB cant throw over 6 yards get as many TE as possible
Quoted from Jaybird815:Interesting that the Patriots also sign Hunter Henry to go along with Jonuu Smith.
Their "dream team" spending spree is gonna make their failure that much more satisfying next season.
I really think it's gonna be a shitshow. Seen it with Washington in 2000 and the Eagles in 2010.
Quoted from TheLaw:2 things,

I’m surprised that NE is sticking with Cam tho. He’s got a lot of heart and legs but his passing is horrible like Tim Tebow bad. I’d have liked if NE had got Fitz or Winston or someone better than Cam. But I’m confident that NE will be better than last year.
Quoted from TheLaw:2 things,

Shitty QBs lean heavy on their TEs.
I’m curious what people think about this.
They say the Eagles can’t get anything out of the WR they draft and horrible pics of JJWA and lesser of Agalor and Reagor and they should have drafted Justin Jefferson and DK Metcalf etc.
However who’s to say that JJ and DK would have been all pro players in Philly?
I’m an Eagles super fan but I’ve been greatly dissatisfied with Wentz for years thinking he throws into the ground or 7 feet too high, he’s not all that good and since his injuries has been less willing with his legs and scared in the pocket.
Look at Agalor who had ton of potential but didn’t do crap with the Eagles. My take is that’s more on Wentz and Peterson and that Medcalf and JJ while studs could have been much less players with the Eagles of the past several years.
