Vox, I usually don’t even read your posts anymore, due to complete biased statements which are typed without any previous thinking…. but this one I did… For once, I agree with you on this one.

If the Pats have the best roster in the NFL they should have been able to make a SB appearance every year – after all, the Ravens made Trent Dilfer a SB winning QB, and nobody claims that Brian Billick is half the “genius” of Belichek.

But the Eagles are doing it, so Joe Banner is a fool and they are scum. I get it.
And I love how the people talking doom-and-gloom with injuries insist that every little thing “will be nagging the players all season” — uh, hello? Your team is going to have the same problem. Dudes are going to be nicked up, but so will the other team. That’s football.

Thought you were a fan of the boys?….Oh and the Cowboys.

I remember last year there was talk on why more teams dont do this in preseason…Now that the Eagles are doing it..its a huge controversy?? Dont get it….Really Dont get it.

Also, some of these injuries will nag the players all year, nixing their effectiveness. Those who say there’s nothing to worry about are viewing the team through silver and green glasses.

Bad luck, mostly. Not surprised to see that you’re not man enough to answer my question though. Where do you put the blame for the Patriots having no fans 10 years ago? Also, did you know that the Patriots had a 12 year stretch where they didn’t even make the playoffs, let alone win a playoff game and a 21 year stretch where they didn’t win any playoff games? I guess that just goes to show you that even shitty teams can rise up (some need to cheat, others don’t).

If your team goes to the big game as many times as the Pats have over the last decade you do not really have anything to complain about or anyone/anything to blame.

You, sir, are an idiot.
@vox …when the pats lose, it’s always because the other team cheated them. obviously.

best roster in the league, ha? really? yeah, i would have to disagree with that one. I am quite sure that the best roster in the NFL resides in Foxboro. This team went 11-5 w/out their best player last year. and they added a ton of talent- the pats have the best roster- by far- in the NFL, and anybody who knows the game realizes that if Brady stays healthy, the pats are a lock for 13-3 or 14-2. Joe Banner, wake up. Dont you realize the pats gave you ellis hobbs because he sucks? what a joke.
They’re going to have a tough time doing anything with you on your knees keeping them busy in the locker room…

Which kinda illustrates the relative value of having a Tom Brady on your roster. So if the Pats have the best roster, if and when they do not win it all, just as they have not done in the past four seasons in spite of having the best players, best coach, newest video cameras etc, where do you put the blame? On coaching?

What about every other team? and every other season, each team has more elite players than that out.

Aside from Ingram and Stewart Bradley, complete non-story…let it go already.

I think they left someone of who won’t play, off this list, I doubt is DMac plays, and at most it will be 3 snaps, too many linemen missing to take a chance.

I think its the right thing to do frankly. If someone is rehabbing an injury, whats the point of putting them in danger for a pre season scrimmage? All of the people on that list aside from Ingram, are veterans, so they know the deal.

Is your job that easy, to report such garbage? Every team in the NFL sits numerous guys during pre-season games.
Give me a break with this already. There are about 400 people who comment on here that can write better stories.

Curran,
Who is “Kevin Kolbl”? Wonder if he is another intern on the Birds. I think you meant Kolb but please… s-p-e-l-l check.
