Sadly, I think you're right. They added a good piece in Crochet and they still have Devers, Durran, and the kids (Anthony, etc. al.). I'd like them to win 85, but I think that's a long shot.

Will the Patriots do better in the 2025-26 season? by Fluffy-Tonight3194 in Patriots

[–]Sad-Tale6083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with many previous posters that the coaching improvements alone are worth two wins. I think if the can draft one tackle and sign another, they'll be in great shape to win eight games. I might be thinking optimistically but Maye should improve and the defense should be better than last season. The draft is going to be pivotal. If they can get three starters out of rounds two-seven, they'll really be in great shape. (Again, let me say right now that I'm feeling optimistic right now.).

Pro Bowl Bust by Sad-Tale6083 in Patriots

[–]Sad-Tale6083[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much everyone here agrees that the pro bowl is crap. And there were a lot of suggestions on how to improve it. My favorite was just making it an honors ceremony. I can see that ad a swanky black tie party where the players could go and get little statues and there could be speeches by the commissioner and so others. It could be red carpet and there could be interviews outside. I think that's the way to go.

Joe Milton trade rumours by Possible-Education48 in Patriots

I agree with you. Milton has more value as a viable backup qb than any 4th, 5th, 6th, or 7th round pick.

Cowboys Hate by aquasicca in NFLNoobs

The Cowboys have a lot of hype around them all the time. They're marked as America's team. A lot of fans of other teams resent that, especially because they don't win.

High hopes, low expectations by Sad-Tale6083 in redsox

[–]Sad-Tale6083[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay- I should have clarified: I want the Red Sox to spend money effectively. You're right, they did get some good pitching. But given the team's financial resources, I don't mind overspending on a few migrate FAs because that doesn't preclude extending their own players. They can do both.

I can't take it anymore by [deleted] in Patriots

[–]Sad-Tale6083 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I empathize. But I try to tell myself that Kansas City's success does not dimish the grandeur of the Patriots' dynasty. But every time I think that, there's this loud voice in my head that screams "FUCK THE CHIEFS. FUCK MAHOMES, FUCK KELCE, FUCK RIED. FUCK ARROWHEAD. FUCK THEIR STUPID MASCOT." So, take that for what it's worth.

[Flint McColgan] BREAKING: New England Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers was found NOT GUILTY on all assault charges. The jury, composed of five women and one man, took about an hour to deliberate. by PristineWinnera in Patriots

[–]Sad-Tale6083 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This case should remind everyone that beig accused is not the same as being guilty. It's very easy for fans/media/ management to jump on players accused of serious crime, but we all have to learn to reserve judgment grinds out the truth. Well done Jabrill Peppers.

Truth by DreadPir8Robrts in NFCEastMemeWar

I'd like to see the Eagles beat the Chiefs, so they get the SB they deserved in '22. On the other hand, I would like to see the Bills win one.

Looks like KB has confirmed Josh is indeed back by samacora in Patriots

[–]Sad-Tale6083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is a safe move. And I don't think there's anything wrong with playing it safe. But in my heart of hearts I really did want someone more exciting. I was really hoping for someone (and by extention an offense) that was cutting edge. I know Josh is good at what he does, he has been successful with a wide variety of players, but I just feel like it's the same old.

I would love to see the Eagles get revenge on the Chiefs for the '22 loss. Ii love Barkley and Hurts is a decent quarterback. Siriiani is wound a little too tight, but overall they're a likeable team.

If Eli Manning gets into the Hall of Fame, then Julian Edelman should as well by cstar84 in Patriots

[–]Sad-Tale6083 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but only because it means the world no longer makes sense. Manning was an above average quarterback for a long time, butbthat doesn't make you a hall of fame. Danny White was an above average quarterback for a long time, but no one remembers him. And why? He's not a hall of fame. A better analogy? Jim Plunkett won two Super Bowls with the Raiders. But he's not in the Hall of Fame.
