Can compete this year if a few things go right (Someone else provides a pass rush besides Tamba, The tackles hold up, and Matt Cassel). Setup nicely for 2012.

Pioli's big splashes in New England were what?

WR. And ROLB.

QB?








Oh wait.. :huh:

I know it's popular to an extent to bash guys that are totally on board with Pioli around here, but I'm sorry. It's just too easy.

The guy, despite some questionable/poor decisions here or there, has consistently improved this team at every turn. We keep getting better and I am more excited now than ever. This offseason was ****ing great. Sure, there are parts of my wishlist left unchecked, but Pioli has done a good enough job so far to earn some credit.

There are a bunch of questions this year facing such a brutal schedule, but I can't wait to see how these guys measure up against the league's best. **** I can't wait for this season to start.

I like the way things are moving. Def going to have to keep it up. BTW, how many posts I gotta have to start a thread?

5,000. Better get going.

Damn I wanted to post something about my madden lg.. I guess I'll have to find some1 help me out.

Like Quarterback?

Pretty sure he already did that trade...

Shit, I think he believed me. I think it's 100 posts or something. But don't post something lame. Unless its funny lame. You know what, just PM me your thread and I'll council you on what to do next.

or send MC plus a 2nd to NO for Brees.


i can dream right?

No complaints, the kind of signings I expect, so far, but still incomplete; needs a bit of o-line depth, I think.

As well as Pioli has done. Clark has to be on the lookout for his replacement. It's the nature of the beast. Or you end up with Peterson, who stayed twice as long as he should have

Are you guys ready for Pioli to trade a #1 pick in year X for a 2 in year X and a 1 in year X+1?

Ready to see him constantly sliding back in the draft to get more draft picks? NOT picking the guy on the board that YOU want (and are convinced is THE difference between winning the SB and not)?

Ready to see your favorite players leave the team for more money elsewhere?

Because if he's following the BB playbook, it's gonna happen. And believe me, huge portions of the fan base will NOT be happy. Some Pats fans still bitch about it, and can list EVERY player on the board that BB didn't draft who performed very well as a pro.

heh, sometimes i think BB overthinks things and outsmarts himself instead of just doing the most obvious correct thing.
