    Patriots making move after move

    You gotta be kidding me with this team.

    How are we supposed to close the gap when they're getting players at discounts and acquiring everything under the sun?

    3/17 Martellus Bennett TE traded from Bears, w/ draft pick for 2016 4th-round pick
    3/17 Donald Brown RB signed from Chargers, One-year contract (through 2016)
    3/15 Jonathan Cooper G traded from Cardinals, w/ 2nd-round pick for DE Chandler Jones
    3/15 Nate Ebner S re-signed/unrestricted free agent, Two-year contract (through 2017)
    3/11 Chris Hogan WR signed/offer sheet from Bills, Three-year contract (through 2018)

    and Now Chris Long.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all     true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can     mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

      That's impressive ?

      If the Bills did that, all the "Wrecks" posters would be out in their glory.

        Paid $4M/year for our #3 or 4 WR... Of coarse Brady will make him into another Welker.

          Yeah, the same old humps would come out in force claiming that the front office is trying to dupe people into buying tickets too.

          Can't win with that crowd.

              Bennett is the one strong move and even that comes with a huge cap hit.

                and Now Chris Long.
                Seriously?

                They sent their 3rd best player for a pick when they draft poorly and for a G when they could have easily signed one
                They have a hole at DE and traded for a TE they didn't need
                They signed a DE who hasn't done much in his time in the league
                They signed a RB who again hasn't done much
                They vastly overpaid for Hogan
                Who is Ebner?

                Nothing here impresses me and if anything they watered down their overall talent by losing Jones. I'd be impressed with Bennett if they actually needed him or will use him as much as they should for what he is.

                This team is an enigma. By all rights they should be worse than the Browns. It's a true statement to how good Marcia and Belichump actually are... which I of course hate.

                      You ended Chandlers career.

                        He had the audacity to sign with the Patriots...I couldn't let that go without consequences.

                          I'm honestly thinking Hogan does too. Cooper, the guard, went downhill after breaking his leg. He could still be viable young inexpensive talent. The Pats get the most out of people, hate them or not, plus Belichick got another pick in a draft deep with line talent. I doubt they are finished.

                            I haven't seen or heard of anything the Bills have done or plan to do that will close the gap vs the Pats. Year after year its the same crap.
                            Like it or not this year will be no different. They pLug and play guys and rarely lose.
                            Just my opinion but I don't see a plan here and have very little faith in OBD .
