It was there NBA equivalent of the Washington Wizards beating a G league team. Is that really winning? That Milton TD throw has int written all over it against a legit defense.
No, but the coach might.
Quantity is the key. You can package those picks to move up if there is a player you really like.
Exactly.
Or, more to the point #1 was worth #4 and someone's 1st round pick next year, which will be a stronger draft.
Yup. Hopefully those days are over.
That's good.
I said all along, Maye and Milton's games are very similar. If he is a very good backup, Pay him very good.
No, but we could have added a 1st round pick for next year (or more) and still been picking where we are.
We need a lot of coaches. HC, OC, OL,
I just hope the Pats don't do something stupid.
It is a starting point though.
Do I think the players on the field were excited about winning? Fuck yeah they were did you not see the sideline? It's ridiculous to assume or ask professional athletes to throw a game so we can move up in the draft. Players and coaches would never expect that only fans are delusional about the idea. Another factor is the men that were out are not only trying to win but they are showcasing their skill for any other team that be looking. The notion of throwing a game is something any professional athlete probably scarfs at.
Yeah, maybe! I do think Milton looked decent albeit against back ups. He still needs to get those feet planted and step into his throw but those are teachable skills / traits.
I keep saying we need an O Line coach which most people are not responding to but that for me is a huge issue
I think most of us agree and have stated at one time or another that they need an Oline coach. AVP and Mayo gone so who knows what the new OC will do?
I agree that most don't want to lose. But having back-to-back 4 win seasons isn't something a player wants to be part of. Minus the scrubs trying to make a name for themselves this win did absolutely nothing. The coaching staff has already been dismantled so they take nothing from it. A handful of those players won't return, maybe they sign on with someone else? The vets unless playing for incentives were likely like I just don't want to get hurt. Fans are disgruntled not that it matters minus the revenue they bring in. Kraft's and GM probably ticked off?
Damn it! Some of the players acted like they won a championship with the "nobody thought we could do it" attitude. Ummmm, nobody thought you WOULD DO IT, not COULD DO IT.
Exactly. This was like the only game the players looked excited to play in. WTF?
Hey guys.....let's all think about this from a player's perspective. None of them want to be replaced. They all want a paycheck in 2025. The thing any player wants is for his team to have the #1 pick in the next draft. Every player knows that he could be replaced by #1 and the Patriots OL know that they are holding on by a thread smaller than the width of a spider's single web string.
Well if all these players wanted to win so much, maybe they should've practiced harder, hit the gym a little bit more, studied the playback, played for the team instead of individual stats, stopped with the mental mistakes and stupid penalties. A handful of these players appeared to give up prior to mid season.
