    2019 Pats: In-Season Roster & Injury Discussion

    A supposed source who called in to WEEI’s morning show claims that he got Minka Fitzpatrick trade to the Steelers right and that Stephon Diggs will be (or very likely will be) traded to the Pats. Take it FWIW. Probably not real but stranger things have happened. Given how soft the early...

    Mookie BBetts - 2019 Campaign

    Your mileage may vary but some in the twitter world have pointed out that Mookie is not pictured on whatever it is that the Sox send out to season ticket holders. Xander, Rafael and Eduardo are. Now those three were arguably the team’s best players. But it’s a little weird not to include...

    AB Watch II: Quarantonio Brown

    Except that the Pats were not the only game in town. To land Brown, the Pats had to beat other offers. I doubt that it came down to just the desire to play with Brady and for a legitimate SB contender. The Pats took a calculated risk and paid what the market required to land the player. One...

    2019 Pats: In-Season Roster & Injury Discussion

    It’s hard to see Wynn not being activated at the earliest possible time. As between Harry and Develin, it’s going to depend more on what’s happening at the time. How’s Johnson doing on special teams and as a FB. How’s the WR depth? How ready health wise are all of them? What other players...

    2019 Pats: In-Season Roster & Injury Discussion

    It’s too bad they didn’t use Jakob Johnson down the stretch yesterday. It would have been nice for the kid to have gotten some live reps during extended garbage time. Given Bill’s high praise and how he in fact looked in the pre-season, I assume he’ll eventually get a shot at fulfilling the...

    2019 Pats Defense: What Are We Witnessing?

    One of my enduring memories of the 2003-2004 era was being at a game with my brother when after the Patriots scored on the first drive of the afternoon, he turned to me, huge grin on his face, and said "Now we get to watch the defense!" The D was clearly good enough to win 3 more SBs, of...

    2019 BB: Always in Playoff Form

    There's a lot of discussion in the media and tritterverse about Bill's recent conduct. Not answering questions about AB. Death stare to Dana Jacobson. Storming out of press conferences. I continue to not give a shit about how he conducts himself. I care a lot about the offense and the fact...

    Hideous news in my book. Pats just got a little worse. I get that AB brought it on himself with those texts.

    Highly unlikely. Most businesses prefer optionality and only pay when they have to. And particularly in a situation like this, when it’s possible that the ground may change at any moment. Unless there’s some advantage in paying early that I’m unaware of, the Pats will wait.

    2019 Pre-Game Thread: Week 3 vs Jets

    Develin and LaCosse being out is concerning. Especially with a an offensive line missing three of the opening day starters. I don't mean to overreact. It's the Jets. And the Pats D is not directly affected by their absence. But it's hard to see the cumulative affect of these injuries not...

    Well I would like to know what they plan on doing with both their best TE on the roster and only FB seemingly out for this one. The AB only questions made any chance of finding out about that nil. Then again, it’s not like Bill would have revealed much there.

    Toeing the Line: Morality and the Pats

    This is about where I am. The categories in the poll don’t capture what I care about: proof of violence or other serious crimes. With that, get rid of the player. Allegations, even if they seen to be true on their face, and appear to be consistent with preconceived notions about a player, are...

    It’s hard to know with Bill but if the Pats are spending time on the recent AB stuff, I think there is some chance those who want him gone will get their wish. Bill could have said that they’ll wait for the legal process to conclude or the NFL to finish its investigation. That he didn’t...

    2019 AB Watch: Legal & Exemption List Posts Only

    I think he's a test for our willingness to act (cut, exempt, suspend) based on a sliding scale of evidence. If we had proof that AB was a rapist, I don't think anyone here would be able to root for him. And if we knew for a fact that he was innocent, I assume most could root for him. The in...

    I wasn't referring to jail. Imprecise writing there. I meant cutting/exempting/suspending him. Apologies if my bad writing wasted some key strokes and focus. It IS a slippery slope to cut or exempt a player because you just "know" in your gut is guilty of whatever he's been accused of...

    I think he probably is guilty. But I'm glad that our systems of justice are not based on my gut or your gut, as likely to be correct as each is. Our systems are in place for all cases, not just the ones where we have a good idea, for good reason, about what happened. Hey, I don't like AB any...

    If she's lying about the underlying acts, then he has the right to be incredibly upset and even unhinged. Anyone who has been falsely accused knows what it's like. You can't prove a negative and people tend to believe anything they hear. I was falsely identifed as an armed robber when I was...

    The messages are stupid, ill advised and and menacing. But I think it's an overreaction to cut him over this or for the NFL to exempt him. IF she is making this up to pressure him or extort him, or is being opportunistic with her timing, then he is feeling cornered and is acting out. Again...

    Ahh, thanks for the corrections. I clearly did not read about it carefully enough.

    It appears there will be no criminal prosecution with respect to the Taylor allegations. The statute of limitations bars them and the relevant DA in PA has said they will not prosecute.
