I have no doubt it will harm us.

Oh well...I wish Buffalo was the team that gave him a second chance, not New England.

He sucks.

He sucks.

Belichick has a lot of experience though, you think he didn't think of that or chose to trade for a guy that sucks ?

Likely not .My TV is full of AFCN football. He gets flicked aside like a pesky insect.

Still don't know why they traded for him.

He was playing in the 4th quarter of preseason games, he clearly wasn't gonna make the roster.

And I doubt many teams would have been knocking down his door for the chance of getting Mingo on their roster.

Probably thought it would be a low-risk move and he's a former 1st rounder.

Reportedly the Lions were willing to deal their 6th rounder for him.

Belichick traded for Albert Haynesworth in 2011. He's not infallible.

New England needed to address the offensive line a lot more. The deficiencies there is what caused them to lose last year, IMO. They're in even bigger trouble there now that Sebastian Vollmer is out. If they can't protect Brady, they have problems...this is my hope.

I'm hoping NE struggles and goes 1-3 with Brady out, then he comes back rusty and they struggle to protect him and can't compete for the div. the Bills, Jets and Fish all look like **** shows, so we will have a war of attrition where the least bad team wins by default. I don't think it's going to happen, but that's my hope.

Re: LB Mingo traded to NE

As far as Mingo, I don't like it. It's nothing to freak out about, because, while some players do turn it around after failing to live up to expectations for several years (see Hughes, Jerry), it's the exception to the rule. If he sucks, NE gave up very little for him. If he doesn't suck, they filled a hole for next to nothing. And let's face it: the draft is long over, all the good FA's have signed and the season starts in 2 weeks. There aren't too many other ways to try to fill holes at this point in the season.

Doesn't dude have Maybin type weight issues?

Re: LB Mingo traded to NE

Why does everyone always assume anybody NE trades for will end up a star?...

This guy is clearly ass and nothing will change just because he goes to the Pats...

Re: LB Mingo traded to NE

I'd trade for him just because his name is pretty freakin' cool-sounding.
