I haven't taken a look, so I don't know what this grand plan is, but does it involve actually replacing Wilfork? After all, they just let him go and created a big hole on the DL. As is, they weren't great at stopping the run last year, and will be worse without Wilfork.

Good morning, replacing Wilfork was always going to have to be done regardless of him being here or not. Wilfork played about 70% of the defensive snaps last year and I think they did a pretty effective job of not letting him get exposed, but the reality is he hasn't been Vince Wilfork for several years now. Now as a fan I love the guy, and his leadership in the locker room will be missed, but you're not going to carry an 8 million dollar cap hit on sentiment.

If they go with what they have in-house, their run defense is going to be even worse than last year's.

I'm sure that would be your wish, but I'll bet you were also in the group that thought they couldn't find a replacement for Welker yet Edlman jumps in and is even better. The bottom line is they usually find a way, and it's never a zero sum game, if one unit takes a step back and another unit takes a step forward, where's the balance lie? Sorry if I don't jump off a bridge panicking but I've seen it all I terms of, "how are you going to replace "Fill in the blank player!!!!", and yet one way or another the Pats end up being one of the last teams playing in January/February every year. Look it may sound cocky and you may hate it as a rival fan, I know I would, but the fact remains, save for Brady there isn't a player on the team that can't be replaced.

I think I've had enough of this troll. Time to ignore you for good.

Good-bye, funny guy.

It's arrogance. Boston fans used to be a lot like Cubs fans, lovable losers (except, of course, to Yankees fans). Then they started winning, and they became entitled.

Now they seem to assume that it will last forever. They have no recollection of life before the past 14 or so years, that the Sox went 86 years without a title, that the Pats were irrelevant until Mo Lewis hit Drew Bledsoe. Now they just assume that their empire will never crumble, that they will always be at the top, and that any move they make is great.

Trust me, he wouldn't be coming here so smugly pontificating his Pats in such a way had Marshawn ran up the gut and given them their 3rd straight SB defeat.

Luck only counts when the Jets beat the Pats in playoffs. When the Pats win playoff games, it's because of how great they are.

Haven't you guys learned yet?

I live in New England, and I'm disappointed in how hypocritical and juvenile their fan base is. For as sophisticated a city as Boston is, the sports fans may be among the lowest of the low. Not Philadelphia low, as nobody is that bad, but pretty low.
