As a Skins fan I feel so vindicated by this move. Let’s be honest, we don’t get to relish in making a correct personnel move very often.

I’m also reminded of how many Pats fans were trashing the Skins for letting big Al go for so cheap, praising it as a low-risk move. You’re right, it was low risk, but it’s not very often where us Skins fans get to celebrate the better end of a trade, even if it’s a late-round pick.

Spygate was them taping the opposing teams defensive signals. I’m not sure how that’s supposed to help the Patriots defense. Oddly enough, the Patriots offense hasn’t fared too badly since 2007. Yep, what a “huge” advantage spygate was.

You people putting all of their success due to Brady’s presence…you do realize they went 11-5 just a couple of years ago while Brady missed the whole year with an ACL?

Yeah but we suckered the Jets into taking Vernon Gholston a couple years ago, right fellow Pats fans?

It’s time for Patriots fans to be honest with themselves. This team just isn’t the same without all the cheating they did for years. It’s easy to play great defense when you know exactly what the offense is going to throw at you!

If the NFL would just allow the pats to videotape other teams again, they might do a better job of scouting potential free agents.

Yeah, they have the best record in football the past 10 years, have 3 SB titles, went 16-0 during the regular season in 2006-2007 and went 11-5 with a QB who hadn’t played a snap since high school. He will make some bad decisions like anybody in the league. Essentially, since his core defense left, he has needed to rebuild and hasn’t done so yet successfully. In that time he’s not had a losing record and is currently 5-3 and tied for 1st place. Most teams rebuilding constitutes at least 3-4 seasons of terrible football, reaping some high draft picks and starting over from scratch. The man has rebuilt on the fly and people still want to tear him down. It’s comical.

So much for BB’s genius status, and a defensive genius, at that. He got lucky to have Brady and a group of very good defensive players a few years back. He’s an arrogant ass whose true meediocrity is showing.

It was a low risk move that didn’t work out. Big deal, if it was any other team it wouldn’t be such a big deal.

But Bellichick is a genius who has feces that smell like mint. Or could it be that he has a HOF QB?

I’m making an Idiot’s guide to becoming a genius head coach in the NFL. It has one chapter, have a HOF QB, or one performing at that level.

They need to improve the front office. They are missing too often with their high draft picks.

Didn’t the Patriots have an undefeated season recently…I was out of country ..did they win it all that year?

Props to Oakland for landing Pro Bowler Richard Seymour from the Patsys. Hows Moss doing for ya now? Hows that pass rush since you let him go? lol

Can’t blame him for going for gold. Credit for cutting his loses. This is from a 49ers fan.

The Patriots haven’t been the same on defense since trading Seymour.

He was their best defensive player and he was in his prime. I still don’t get it.

Should have cut Ocho Stinko instead of Haynesworth. Then he could be reunited with his buddies in Oakland. (Housh and Palmer)

“They haven’t been able to find a pass rusher in the draft.”

Yes they did. They found Clay Matthews staring them in the face and said, “No thanks, we’d rather have 3 mediocre/ average DBs.”

The real issue no one seems to notice is that their defense started sucking at the time they were caught cheating. Now that they don’t have an unfair advantage it seems they can’t fix their defense. I doubt this is a coincidence.

90% of being a successful coach is having a great quarterback. When Brady retires, Belichick will no longer be a good coach.

When I saw the clip of him not being able to figure out how to change the clock in his car the genius thoughts stopped immediately.

Lately, he’s starting to look more like the Cleveland Brown Bill Belichick than the New England Patriot Bill Belichick.

Losing Scott Pioli was a huge blow to the Patriots when it comes to personnel. He was the only one with the clout to challenge Belichick on draft & free agent moves.

He’s been about 50/50…just like the rest of the league. Its just more pronounced because everyone loves to dump on New England.
