burmafrd;3929404 said:yeah and all this reloading has won them how many rings? They have not reloaded that defense very well, have they?
HoustonFrog;3929496 said:Alot of rings since Bill has been there. You are right. They are lucky to have been 14-2 last year and have one of the most stable franchises. What a bunch of jake-legs. You make no sense.
Chief;3929465 said:I watched a bunch of video of Solder yesterday. He's a real good athlete for a guy that size, but I saw him get detroyed against Cal. Gave up 3 sacks in the first half.
That pick really surprised me. I figured they would have taken Cameron Jordan or Mark Ingram.

Tom Brady is like 33, how about you stop playing around and go get Julio Jones?
People keep saying they are the smartest team but having Peyton and Brady makes you look smarter than you really are. Those teams arent great but they contend b/c of the elite QB play.
MarionBarberThe4th;3929535 said:They got lucky w/ Brady and cheated. Since then what have they done? Brady and Manning get you 10 wins automatically. The Patriots are not loaded and are burning Bradys prime w/ this cutsey bull****
realtick;3929719 said:Lol, most of the players would be starters here in Dallas. It's also funny to criticize the Patriots for not being smart, yet they do have Tom Brady, a pick of their own. They also drafted Matt Cassell who led them to an 11-5 record. They also win with no names at the receiver position and a midget at running back in Danny Woodhead.
It comical to criticize them when they are consistantly putting up 11-12 win seasons for the past decade.
realtick;3929722 said:Brilliant. How can anyone argue with that?
MarionBarberThe4th;3929730 said:They try to be the smartest guys in the room and it keeps coming back to bite them. No pass rush, no big play WR's? Lets get Solder and a 2012 pick. Tom Bradys reaction? Uhhh, I wont be playing forever guys.
No one would. If they did Jake Locker would just go top 10 again![]()
burmafrd;3929954 said:Like I asked- when was their last championship? Much more recent then our own of course- but if they are so brilliant why have they not won another since?
realtick;3930048 said:When was the last time the Steelers won a Super Bowl?
Is that franchise more "brilliant" because it's won a Super Bowl in more recent history?
Why don't we consider his resume since he took over the Patriots in 2000:
Four Super Bowls - 2007, 2004, 2003, 2001 (wins in bold)
Finished 1st place in his division 8 times since 2000 (including 4 championships)
Career record with the Patriots 116-45 (.720 winning %), postseason 15-4 (.789).
Meh, but he hasn't won a Super Bowl in four seasons, so he's really overrated.
Seriously, what were you saying in 1999, four years removed from watching the last Cowboys Super Bowl win and some bonehead fan says "meh, the Cowboys aren't that great....if they were, when was the last time they won a championship?" In doing so, they completely disregard the dominance of that dynasty and the brilliance from which they were put together.
LOLrealtick;3927675 said:Lol, really?
Wow, they grabbed Devin McCourty, Gronkowski, Hernandez, Spikes, et cetera last year.![]()
Yup, all they've managed to do in the last six years is win their division five times, get to the conference championship game twice and the Super Bowl once. Oh yeah, and have a 16-0 year. They must be idiots.burmafrd;3929954 said:Like I asked- when was their last championship? Much more recent then our own of course- but if they are so brilliant why have they not won another since?

And they finished only 14-2 this past season, a clear indictment of their drafting ability in the past few years.
The Pats won 11 without Brady a couple years ago.MarionBarberThe4th;3930199 said:And Peyton Manning keeps winning 10 plus games every year. Good QB's tend to do that
