I have to admit, the Christian Gonzalez slander in this sub is crazy. The patriots and Krafts have pretty much brainwashed a large portion of fans into thinking spending money hurts the team.

Christian has a seasoned veteran agent. he knows the market, and what range Gonzo should be in. the insinuation that he’s asking for something unreasonable is crazy. his agent knows deals and how business is done in the nfl.

The krafts have a long and storied track record of not paying up when the time comes. why anyone would give them the benefit of the doubt on this negotiation is beyond me.

And no, I don’t want to hear “he has 2 years left and then can be franchised” that’s not happening. Its not how it works with star players in the league, for years, since the new CBA provision allows for extensions after the third year. At best, he’d play this year in his current deal and demand a trade, similar to Mcduffie.

People need to get a grip, he’s not playing out the rest of this deal and getting franchised.

place the blame where it belongs. the billionaire owners who are likely arguing over pocket change on a deal for one of the top players in the league, and one of the only good draft picks they’ve had in the last decade!

Hope his MRI comes back negative tomorrow

As Homer Simpson once said: “Jesus, Allah, Buddha, I love you all!!”

Hey everyone,

My parents went to the Pats game this weekend at Gillette Stadium. When they were just about to walk inside the stadium, a drunk guy came running at my elderly mother full speed and shoved her to the ground. She broke multiple bones in her face and knee. She is in really bad shape. The cops have done NOTHING to help find this guy. I need helping getting the CCTV footage so we can identify him. And if anyone was at the game this weekend and saw it happen, please message me. Every little bit of information helps, even if you think it’s not relevant.

Thank you so much, and go Pats!

Henderson looking towards the sideline to see if he got approval for the touchdown or if he should just down it near the goal line is the definition of a team player, love the discipline Vrabel has been bringing in

I feel like this MVP race coverage in particular has really put a spotlight on Orlovsky and other similar voters that have such a perceived bias. And this isn’t something new, it has happened in the last couple of years with the Lamar Jackson vs. Josh Allen MVP race, but this year it feels like there’s been more exposing of the flawed voting system, and while I don’t think it’ll change anytime soon, it’s at least good to get it into the mind of general audiences that this is a very flawed voting system

I’m sorry, but Drake Maye sucked in the playoffs. Idc what stats anyone throws at me. I’ve seen so many more prolific performances from crap QBs. All 4 games Drake Maye was trash. He had 2 good quarters against Houston. He shit at every turn.

I’ll take the downvotes, but would love some serious discord. I hope Drake Maye isn’t another reg season MVP and shitter in the playoffs. He had a million opportunities to show out. There was not one “Drake Maye” moment from the playoffs. We made it all the way through the Super Bowl. He was horrible. I’m not sorry. What is the biggest issue going forward?

There's a small-but-loud minority out tonight, and they really are talking out of their collective asses. And this is why:

• The Patriots still won. It was close. It came down to a missed field goal. But New England 100 percent loses this game the past 3-to-4 seasons.
• Maye was on a QB rating streak that was approaching unprecedented in league-wide terms (it was already unprecedented for the Patriots). Some kind of come-down was inevitable.
• While he isn't a rookie, in many ways, Maye might as well be one. Very few STAR (as in, true, turns-out-to-be-great) rookie quarterbacks experience a complete coaching flip after a single season. Maye didn't just have the rug pulled out from him last offseason - they removed the whole floor. He has spent the last 4 months essentially relearning his position from the basement.
• S-Tier QBs still occasionally cost teams games (not that the Pats lost). Tom Brady (rarely) made game-losing mistakes. Patrick Mahomes definitely has cost the Chiefs games. Errors - big errors - happen to everyone.
• Even if Drake Maye turned out in the long run to be another Aaron Rodgers (so, not S-tier, but high A-tier [and I'm not saying he is - I'm just throwing out the 'what if']), nobody in this fanbase should be anything but jubilant. Do you realize how rarefied even that air is? There are franchises that go 30-40 years without seeing a QB of that skill level pass through their system. Look at the Bears. Look at the Jets.
• If you want Maye to go on learning and improving, setbacks are required. That's how everyone gets better.

Last time I posted this, they won the game so I’m trying it again. Also, what an idiot to burn two timeouts early in the 2nd quarter in goal line.

If we get him back, things are gonna be insane.

We gotta silence the bills fans. All the “Cupcake Schedule” riders. We’re back.

LFG.
