Re: finally an intelligent person
I honestly think you guys will improve if you trade one of those QBs, but I would trade Brady because you are in good cap shape. Brady is overrated and can't throw more then 10 yards, Bledsoe would be a top QB if he could play with Troy Brown and David Patten this year, as they were both good. Look at the Patriots passes, and they are all short with a lot of yards after the catch.

another thing
Even if you do trade one of your QBs, I doubt you guys will be even close to as good next year, but I am not gonna say it is definate since you guys are the Champs.

Re: the Pats seemed destined
I have nothing but respect for what the patriots accomplished after brady fumbled the ball against the raiders. However, it doesn't matter what you do after the game should have been over. I am not a raiders fan nor do I hate the patriots. I am simply a fan of fair play. I in fact was cheering for the patriots to win the game because I don't like the raiders. However, after the game was over I knew the patriots got away with one and I hoped that someone would knock them off because there shouldn't be any doubt about who is the true world champion when the season was over. I had the same feelings back when the titans did what was in my opinion a forward lateral to beat the bills. At least in that case there were a few people who believed the play was legitimate. I haven't heard or talked to 1 person who thought brady threw an incomplete pass. Everyone knows it was a fumble and that the refs came up with some bs argument to justify their agenda. I hope that one day my team wins the superbowl but only if they can do so when they deserve it without any controversy. Once the ref made that bogus call it completely corrupted the playoffs because no matter who won the superbowl the raider fans can always say they were screwed and that it could have been them. The patriots will never be looked upon by most people outside of the new england area as true champions because deep down everyone knows that you can't have an incomplete pass when the quartbacks arm isn't even moving forward in a throwing motion when the ball comes loose. Patriot fans will claim they are champs but deep down they all have that funny feeling of unsatisfaction because they know that they got away with a gift call and the refs not the players decided the outcome! I have never said that a team that won the superbowl wasn't the true champs until this year! This is a black eye on the entire 2001 nfl season!
got this off the pats board 39

Practice Squad
I dont understand how the pats d can go from mid 20 rank in the season to holding the rams to 3 points through 3 quarters. if a game plan can turn their d into such a good squad we need to get rid of bates and find someone who will bring up a safety every once in a while and let the strongest part of our team win games for us.
i think dolphan39 has metioned it.........
i know i have, in the playoff game against the black chickens, he didn't draw the safety's up till half way through the 4th quarter!:yell:
the Rams did themselves in...If it wasn't for the turnovers it would have been Rams 17 Pats 3. Plain and simple...The Rams didn't bring their A game and weren't ready to play..The patsies took advantage and controlled the tempo from the first Int on. If the Rams would have given Warner protection and functioned like they had for most of the year...the Patsies would be home right now. That's ok...Time for the Dolphins to take out the Champions 2 times in a row next year :D
are you trying to say............
the pats defense didn't cause some of those turnovers. the INT for a TD was directly caused by the blitz, there were several hits that caused fumbles and faulk was taken out of the game completely. not to mention that warner was on the field, but had no idea what defense the pats were in!

Maria & LauRen Aha!
I have changed my opinion on Bates - we really do not need to replace Bates - we need Wanne to spend much more time scheming the D and let Norv (I hope) take care of the O by himself.
Bill B changed the D scheme and R Seymour started playing better that is how their D got better. They also get healthier toward the end of the year; unlike us. It was Bill B's well designed and blitzes and horrible pass protection that caused the big TO/TD to Law.
