This makes me giggle.I can't even fathom how much every other fanbase must hate us right now.

Just go read Gang Green.It really is tough to not get on FB and troll everyone.
Yup.This makes me giggle.
They are trying to find solace in constructing an "seee I told you Brady was an overrated bum!!" argument. When he comes back and puts fools on notice they'll have nothing.I can't even fathom how much every other fanbase must hate us right now.
Poor Cleveland. They'll probably unleash the Gronk for that one too.They are trying to find solace in constructing an "seee I told you Brady was an overrated bum!!" argument. When he comes back and puts fools on notice they'll have nothing.
Gronk sure does owe Cleveland a whooping. Fuck TJ Ward.Poor Cleveland. They'll probably unleash the Gronk for that one too.

And hopefully, Vollmer and Lewis.Yup, hearing the same from Patriot-hating co-workers, especially #2. A simple, "I don't care, they're 3-0 and getting Brady, Gronk, Hightower, and Nink back" results in *crickets* every time.
If there was an "honorary" NEP Hall of Famer category, Irvin would get my vote. So would Florio & Sally Jenkins.With color commentary from the hilarious, thoughtful, intelligent, must-listen Michael Irvin. His recent tweets are gold.

I'm guessing your office is not in Buffalo.This win has our whole office (most of them casual sports fans unlike me) absolutely brimming with excitement. I don't recall a regular season victory resulting in so much optimism and celebration before.
Up 27-0 with 8 minutes left in the game and possession of the ball is usually when you put the backup QB in to finish out the game. Why didn't the Patriots do that? Those arrogant bastards.
first time I can remember being excited for their programming since BB football life. DVR is set, thanks!Pats p*rn alert: tonight at 8pm on NFL Network is the Top 10 all time Pats, followed by Football Life: Rodney Harrison

Tippett? Dude is an NFL hall of fame. Buoniconti is too (though half his career was with Miami so maybe we can't count him).No way on Welker. Moss wasn't here long enough. Troy Brown has to be on there. Bruschi too
I would go with (in no particular order)
Brady
Hannah
Cunningham
Armstrong
Haynes
Law
Bruschi
Brown
Bledsoe
Vinatieri (maybe as #10)
toughest omissions: Gronk, McGinest, Rodney, Milloy, Vrabel
This is a pretty good list but I'd probably replace Light with Gronk. Gronk is going to the HOF (unless he completely falls off a cliff). Matt Light was a very good player for the Pats at an important position for a very long time, but he was never elite IMO.Brady
Hannah
Tippett
Haynes
Ty Law
Wilfork
Stanley Morgan
Bruschi
Bledsoe
Matt Light
Brandon Marshall felt like every other football fan who was excited to watch the Texans-Patriots game Thursday night, and instead was disappointed by the lopsided nature of the contest.
“I had to turn it off,” the Jets wide receiver said Friday of the Patriots’ 27-0 victory. “It was disgusting."
I think Jim Nance and Babe Parelli get some love as well as Steve Grogan. I don't think Cunningham and Haynes belong on that list. Haynes was HOF, but only played about 1/2 his careear with the PatsNo way on Welker. Moss wasn't here long enough. Troy Brown has to be on there. Bruschi too

Love it. Best response is "Exactly. Joe Montana's backups never had success like this!"2. Brady really is just a system QB and this is tainting his legacy even more than DFG. I saw one poster even say that Brady must be totally embarrassed that this is happening.
As a 21 year season ticket holder (wow, getting old sucks), who has seen just about every "great" Patriot come through, this is exactly right. He was Welker and Edelman before there was a place for guys like them. I would argue that if not for Troy Brown, Tom Brady's career (and the Pats as a team) may be completely different from what it is now. In 2001, Troy Brown basically threw Tom on his shoulders when Bledsoe went down. Prior to that season, he had one season with more than 41 catches (in 2000, he had 83), but in 2001, he had 101 receptions for 1,199 yards, and he was the guy running the short routes that allowed a rookie QB to manage a game. That same year, he returned 2 punts for TD's, and another against Pittsburgh in the AFCG that I'm sure most remember. He led the team in receiving again in 2002, and at that point, a dynasty was born and a legend was being created. If he isn't the kind of player he is in 2001 though, it's easy to see that team finish 7-9 and not make the playoffs, never have the tuck rule game, never win that first Super Bowl, etc. The 2nd leading receiver for that 2001 team was David Patten with 51 receptions (50 less than Brown), and the only guys on the team besides them with more than 20 receptions were Kevin Faulk (30) and the immortal Marc Edwards (25).As much as I loved Law and Wilfork, neither of them can boot Troy Brown from a top-10 Patriots list for me. Offense, defense, special teams, the guy did it all for 15 years and embodied what the Patriots have been about since Kraft bought the team.
Wow. I could not disagree more. Haynes was a generational talent. The Patriots had never had a player as gifted before him.Haynes was a great player but I would take Clayborn over him for a best Patriots list.
Haynes was the better player for sure. Clayborn was really good for the Pats for a long time.Wow. I could not disagree more. Haynes was a generational talent. The Patriots had never had a player as gifted before him.
