hate to say this, but I am expecting the Pats to get dominated, if not on the scoreboard, certainly on the field. That is (whats left of) my brain talking. But my heart still believes Billy B. will pass out magic pills and suddenly right this slowly sinking season.

Just don't see any names ready to jump start the recovery on the Pats' roster though. Pains me to say so, but GM Bill has hurt Coach Bill very badly.

I'm a huge Patriots fan but I haven't felt like this in many years. Wasn't fooled the first couple of weeks either, the scoreboard was deceptive, the stats told the truth.

Of course, I could be wrong and they will find a way tonight...then I will be a front runner happily. But for now...

OY!

Frank called it. The Pats defense is dead last in the league. They have been drafting defense and it hasn't worked out, so far.

I took a calculated risk but fully expect to be rebuked by the master from the Cape. I am an original Pats fan from year one, I bleed blue or red or whatever colors they wear week to week, but while poor personnel moves made them suspect, the expected injuries that followed have made the cupboard bare. There's no one on that bench.

Unless Coach Bill finds a way to run the ball and eat up tons of clock, it looks bad. But I'll be rooting like crazy, and looking forward to being wrong.

Going to be tough for the Jets today. The Pats have lost 2 in a row? They don't usually lose 3 in a row. Go Jets!

When was the last time the Pats were "dominated"(not including the playoffs)?

I'd say BB has drafted alright recently(Solder, Verene, Gronk, Hernendez, Mayo & Spikes).

Yeah, they'll most likely lose tonight but it won't be a blowout. They usually split the meetings

regardless of their squads.

Do the Pats need an O Coordinator?-Yes

Do they need a D Coordinator? - Yes

Do they need a Pass Rusher? - Yes

Do they suck @ drafting: RB's, DB's & WR's? - HELL YEAH, but Piolli's had a hand in it too.

Does tonights game even matter? - NOPE! Even if they were able to secure Home field advantage

throughout the Playoffs they'd still get whooped by the Ravens & Steelers.

I think that these problems/issues haven't been addressed since Romeo, Weis & Rib Boy left...........

Regardless, they had a good run & Pats fans & New Englanders in general have been spoiled.

7 Championships in 10 years isn't too shabby.

I got a call from Coach Bill at halftime. He told me to stretch out, probably wouldn't use me, but if one more safety went down I was gonna have to play free safety. I'm big but can't cover Keller so strong safety was out.
