All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
2001 Patriots won with young QB and street free agents for defense.

2001 Patriots won with young QB replacing Vet and street free agents for defense.
Why can't we do it....Why not us.. It's not the first time...long shot sure, but not heard of before either.
The "young QB" turned out to be one of the best ever. That defense was helped by a rookie named Richard Seymour who ended up being one of the best DL in the NFL. They had a future HOF'er at CB (Law), a SS who was one of the best in the NFL at the time (Milloy) and a strong LB crew (Vrabel, Bruschi, Ted Johnson, Roman Phifer, Bryan Cox) that might have been the best unit in the NFL. They had the must clutch kicker in NFL history and a HOF Head Coach.
That 2001 Patriots team had a lot more going for it than might initially seem apparent.

For starters, the 2001 Pats had better coaches and didn't start the year 1-3 with 3 conference losses. You're keying on the few similarities and ignoring the plethora of differences.

Plus they were cheating and had questionable help from the officials. That helped a lot too.

Unfortunatley for you I don't think it'll get old for us Bills fans for a while.
That's OK, it really doesn't bother me. I'd probably do the same thing if the shoe were on the other foot.
I actually want the cheating allegations and stories to say alive. It has been a tremendous motivational force for the Pats this year, and I want it to keep being so. The more people put down their accomplishments, the better the team seems to play on the field.

Oh yeah, I'll bet BB's W/L wasn't all that great.

cas,
I'm just letting you know that you have been given 2 points for telling Wys AKA Mark to kill himself.
Re: 2001 Patriots won with young QB and street free agents for defense.
They had 1 thing going for them.
The tuck rule. The magical rule that allowed the Patriots to win the post 9/11 superbowl, and not only was never heard of before but has never been heard of since.
