forever in debt to mo lewis Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 10. Seattle (10-8). Just a guess, but my feeling is the Seahawks would rather have the 22nd pick in the draft, plus the $7 million-a-year cap dollars it paid Deion Branch, back right now. Instead, New England sits there with two first-rounders, the rich getting richer, and Seattle is out of the draft business until late in the second round come April.

NE has alot of holes to fill, and Wr being one of the most glaring. Branch was a better player, in New England than Seattle, but they still have to fill his shoes in NE, and the ex gators are not the answer.

i_am_the_swammi Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 NE has alot of holes to fill, and Wr being one of the most glaring. Branch was a better player, in New England than Seattle, but they still have to fill his shoes in NE, and the ex gators are not the answer. Why? They seemed to be just fine without him...they came within minutes (and a blown call) of reaching their 4th Super Bowl in 7 years, and the lack of a proven WR was not the reason they didn't make it. And since WR is perhaps the easiest position to fill via free agency, I doubt the Pats are losing any real sleep over letting Branch go.

forever in debt to mo lewis Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 @ taking an accurate assessment personally. you call it an accurate assessment...i call it an assessment from a guy who ive never seen say a kind word in regards to the patriots...i this is a guy who is already writing off a receiver who came out a year early and basically missed all of training camp(jackson) receiver is a need...i dunno about most glaring....id say a DE/OLB hybrid in the mcginest mold, so they can go from 3-4 to 4-3 w/out making a substitution is a glaring need...id say youth and depth in the linebacking corps is a need....id say some more depth and talent in the defensive backfield(where we always get hammered with injuries) might be a glaring need...

Ryan 1/27/07 9:59pm Post #51 Huddler All-Pro Joined: Jul 9, 2001 Member No.: 135 The game should have never been close. 21-6 at halftime, would take a complete collapse by the Pats to lose, and they did just that. In fact looking at the replay of the Colts challenged TD, there is no way that WR was coming down in bounds, and the pats got a huge gift right there to make it as close as it turned out to be. In my view, the Pats have benefitted from terrible no calls in the past, especially vs the Colts in years past, as well as the so called Tuck Rule, that was a complete fumble, any way you look at it. The Tuck Rule is exactly like the horse collar, it has rarely been called, and it happens more often than it has been called. So the discretion that was a Tuck Rule in that game, could have easily been a fumble by another official. The Pats are by far the worst team to win 3 Championships, and are as boring and ordinary as any champion outside of Baltimore in 2000. Im ashamed the Pats were ever champions of the sport I love so much. Its basically ends the football season with mediocrity at the top. -------------------- Sooner Nation he definitley unbiased and shows no bitterness towards the patriots!

The truth seems to bother you. I look at NE shouldnt have beaten SD in round 2, and you look at it like they were a blown call away going to the SB. The Pats have one of the best DL, OL, and QB in the league. They have more TE's than any team Ive ever seen, and that is because they dont have good WR's. The Pats LB and at least half their secondary needs to be addressed, but its a given WR is a need. A big need. Just think where they would have been had Branch stayed. So that extra pick and cap savings, when you are already under the cap, was worth a great WR in your system and a shot at playing next week. Brady said he would take a cut to get Branch resigned, and the Pats still choose to say no, even with the money to get it done. How long do you think it will take another player to get up to Branch's speed in the offense and have the same chemistry Branch had with Brady. I can assure you, a 1st round pick will take at least 2-3 yrs to be where they were. In that time, Bruschi will retire, that OL will lose a key member or two, and Brady will be an older player. The window for the pats was right now, and they blew it by not resigning Branch. So you can spin this any way you want, but in the Pats system, Branch was a great fit and he was obviously missed by Brady. Even Peter King said as much on Inside the NFL early on this season.

Even Peter King said as much on Inside the NFL early on this season. i have to laugh at you thinking the window for the pats is rightnow and they blew it...the window isnt closing anytime soon my friend...and if you cant see that..i dunno what you watching...you must still be stuck in the 90's...and i still have to laugh at you thinking gaffneys feet were out of bounds and that wasnt a great catch WR is a need...and i dont think the patriots are ready to give up on chad jackson yet..like i said...a guy who missed basically all of camp, and had come out a year early...if he can get a camp under his belt and get comfy..he can be a beast...he showed flashes....the guy caught 13 balls all year and found the endzone 3 times... ill agree with you that we should of lost the san diego game...had marty kept running LT down our throats we would have never had a shot...and LT was having his success(i agree, we have one of the best defensive lines in the game), which i put the onus on an aging and slow linebacking corps...which most of us patriots fans feel is a big area in need of an upgrade if you think the offensive line will be in shambles 2 or 3 years from now...you just havent been paying attention...light is signed for another 3...koppen till 2011...enough cap room to sign mankins to a nice extension...the patriots offensive line is not an issue of concern...nor will it be 2 or 3 years from now...because they can find smart guys who can be taught the proper technique...this is why theyve been able to survive with an undrafted guy at RG who was a college wrestler and a revolving right door at RT...just look at how theyve built that offensive line...a 2nd round pick in 2000...and a first rounder in 05...and add in a bunch of throwaways Edited January 31, 2007 by forever in debt to mo lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwacked Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 10. Seattle (10-8). Just a guess, but my feeling is the Seahawks would rather have the 22nd pick in the draft, plus the $7 million-a-year cap dollars it paid Deion Branch, back right now. Seattle realistically has a 2-3 year window to get back to the superbowl. Chances are that Deion Branch makes a bigger impact in that window than the 22nd player picked in the 2007 draft.

Chances are that Deion Branch makes a bigger impact in that window than the 22nd player picked in the 2007 draft. I also foresee Seattle cutting D-Jax before next season, who was whining about his contract earlier this season and seems to be constantly battling injuries. In hindsight, Seattle's bigger mistake was giving Burleson a big contract. Although, in fairness, they didn't now that Branch would be available shortly afterwards.
