Official Patriots Thread

[empirestrikesback26]

they re kind of similar. Both have intangibles and both don't really have the best stats.

[stocker323]

A football QB is totally different from baseball. To be the best you have to prove that you can drive your team to victory in the big game with little time to go. If you look at the history you'll see that every great QB has done that.

Also, look at overtime winning percentage, and playoff win percentage for Brady, then tell me he means nothing.

[CrespoBlows]

Culpepper is the best QB in the league. 5 TD's, wow! I give those wins to the defense both super bowls, one they shouldn't of won, Brady fumbled.

[YanksHater213]

Defense won both superbowls? HAHA! Both were offensive games. Who did Culpepper beat? The Cowboys, they have a great defense

[CrespoBlows]

The Cowboys finished first in defense last year, so they have a good defense. The Patriots defense won in 2001 20-17 isn't an offensive game. I believe Ty Law took one back, and so did McGanist so the defense won the championship. Brady isn't the best QB in the league, Culpepper is faster by a lot, he has more arm strength, and better accuracy. Brady is just on a loaded team, he's a good QB, not a great one.

[CrespoBlows]

Don't try me in football, boy. I'll own you

[empirestrikesback26]

You re right, football is not even close to baseball, also brady shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as jeter. Jeter is just so more important.

[YanksHater213]

You can't be serious... without Brady, the Pats have 2 of 3 losing seasons and get no Super Bowls. Jeter isnt that great of a hitter, he can only hit for average. Its the team around him that makes him better.

[CrespoBlows]

He's actually right, football is more of a team game, something the Patriots understand well. Brady is the man for that system, he's the type of quarterback, who, when the games close won't kill you with a mistake. In baseball, you can relay on 2 players and win a lot of ball games, example the San Fran Giants. Their team sucks, besides Bonds and Schmidt. They can't afford the loss of any of their players. In football, if the Patriots were to lose Brady those 2 out 3 years, they had an very competent quarterback in Drew Bledsoe, back in 2001. They sucked it up big time in 2002, but Damon Huard also fits the Patriots plan of turning around and handing the ball to the running back. Brady is an important piece to the puzzle, but not a huge piece, the Patriots team all are pieces of the puzzle.

[empirestrikesback26]

Ok then if the yankees don't have jeter, they don't win all of the WSs they won since 96. The year he joined. Coinncedence? I think not,just like the year brady gets the starting job, they win.

[CrespoBlows]

We aren't talking about Jeter right now. And they probably do win it all because of this $$$$$$$$

[empirestrikesback26]

eagles start strong unlike the pats.

[stocker323]

What was unstrong about beating the Colts? The Eagles beat that real strong team in the Giants.

[CrespoBlows]

f*** the Eagles, I hope TO breaks his leg

they just barley won.

[YanksHater213]

It doesnt matter if it was by 2 point or 30 points, a win is a win, and thats all that matters.

if only that were true...

[CrespoBlows]

Why is a New York fan, rooting for the Eagles, against the Giants?

[empirestrikesback26]

I'm a giants fan, but I know truly the eagles will win. Basically I'm a fan every team but the pats and dolphins.

lol you shouldn't be the on talking about defending complaints.

[empirestrikesback26]

I'm not complaining about anybody.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Camp and pre-season less than a month away. How do we look. Great at quaterback, but linebackers, wide receivers defevsive backs, etc. Anyone getting excited ?

[Sox fan in Tex]

Pre-Season schedule:

 

Aug. 12, 7:30 pm: @ Cincinnati Bengals

Aug. 18, 8:00 pm: vs. New Orleans Saints

Aug. 25, 8:00 pm: @ Green Bay Packers

Sep. 01, 8:00 pm: vs. New York Giants

[YanksHater213]

I am excited for this season. Going for the three-peat. Can Terrell live up to his potential? Can Mangini sufficently run the defense as Crennel did? Its going to be a pretty interesting title defense.

[PeskysPole49]

One, How's Teddy Doing....Two, Ty's gone for good.........shall we survive. =) about Flutie. He should retire a Pat.

[PeskysPole49]

Pre-Season schedule:

at least it's not a demanding pre-season schedule. To bad they wouldn't do a Eagle/Pat match like the Sox and Yanks did in spring training

Deion Branch is the man...recivers are good. I heard something about Troy not returning to the Pats....that true?
