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!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

I don't believe in chance. It has nothing to do with anything.
Actually, if you were going to pick one word for the Pats it would be: Resilient.
They are far from done.
I agree.
In the end, there are only three liberal archetypes: The fools, the beneficiaries and the crooks.

"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty. - John F. Kennedy, January 20, 1961
To live in the presence of great truths and eternal laws,
to be led by permanent ideals -
that is what keeps a man patient
when the world ignores him,
and calm and unspoiled when the world praises him. -- Honore De Balzac
As I said on NBC Sunday night, the big telltale sign for Brady was not coming back out to the field once he got hurt. If the injury was minor, the never-let-'em-see-you-sweat idol would have made his way back to the field. He didn't. Some Patriots thought the play was dirty, including Randy Moss.
I spoke with two recent retirees, John Lynch and Vinny Testaverde, Sunday night about the injury and the play.
Lynch, watching from home in Denver, didn't think it was dirty. Important man to ask; he's spent his career in football blitzing and trying to get at quarterbacks the way Pollard did Sunday. And he got fairly close to Brady on a recent short trial with the Patriots.
"There's no way that was a dirty play,'' Lynch said. "It's easy to look at a play in slow-motion and say, 'Oh, he should have been able to stop.' Totally unrealistic. Things are moving so fast out there. Pollard was going for Tom, and it looked like he was somewhat blocked into him.''
Somewhat blocked into him. Good way to put it, if you saw it. As Lynch says, it's impossible to even imply that Pollard's intent was to crash into the side of Brady's knee.
People love to look at stuff in slow motion and make a judgment. When players are going at full speed things happen. Sometimes guys fall and in the process of making a play hit someone where they shouldn't. When you have a helmet on, are being blocked and going full speed, accidents happen.
Brady has had guys roll up on his legs before. Every QB has. Sometimes it gets caught the wrong way and guys get hurt. So you bring in the next guy and move on.

Holy denial.
Nothing dirty about the Wilfork play? He intentionally lifted up his forearm to brace for the impact. And it was very very late. If he was going for the tackle, his arms would've been straight out with his hands open.
He was also fined for it. If the league didn't think it was intentionally dirty there would not have been a fine.
How about that eye poking on Brandon Jacbos last year? Was that an accident too?
Wilfork is a dirty rat, learned well from Rodney Harrison. Admit it.

Harrison is a HOF player. And Wilfork never poked Jacobs in the eye, he stuck his finger in his face.
You are the type that won't be happy until they are playing flag football with skirts on. It is a physical game and sometimes guys get hurt. You are just soft.
I can't wait for the pats to Win the division even without Brady. It is gonna make the games closer now. Instead of Winning by 30 they will win by 14. Should be fun.
