January 22, 20188 yr Yep. They are hands down the most disciplined team in the league and have been since Belicheck has been there. When Gronk went after that dude earlier in the year and got suspended it was the most un patriot like thing I’ve ever witnessed. They just don’t make stupid mistakes. They don’t jump offsides, they don’t have false starts, it’s the little things that they just do so much better than everyone else. People can act all they want that stuff like discipline in the locker room and with the media doesn’t matter, giving teams “bulletin board material” doesn’t matter. When you give cliches at every press conference, censor your social media, etc. it carries over to discipline on the field. I hate the Patriots because I want their dominance on the league to be over, but they are the most dominating force in American professional sports in my lifetime and maybe ever. The difference is in their discipline. NY Yankees and Boston Celtics are way ahead in being the most dominant ever but these guys certainly have had their way with the NFL for almost two decades. They've been in almost half the super bowls played since Brady arrived.

January 22, 20188 yr NY Yankees and Boston Celtics are way ahead in being the most dominant ever but these guys certainly have had their way with the NFL for almost two decades. They've been in almost half the super bowls played since Brady arrived. The Yankees dominance was WAY before my time and the Celtics dominance was a little before my time. In my lifetime I’ve never seen anything like the Patriots.
January 22, 20188 yr Bortles is a FA after this season. My gut tells me he will be back for the Jags, but it wouldn’t shock me to see them go after a guy like Alex Smith. With great defenses your super bowl window is fairly small. See Denver and Seattle. They picked up his 5th year. 99% sure he will be starting next year for the Jags.
January 22, 20188 yr I think they make a run at either Cousins or Eli. Bortles showed himself well this postseason and should get paid, but I just don't know if it's going to be in Jacksonville. I'll pass on Eli and Smith.
January 22, 20188 yr The reason is bc when players sign with the Pats they know team comes first. If they cant handle that then they show them the door. Ocho Cinco didn't last to long. I mean how many under the radar, small time bit players have come up just huge for them time and again? If the "Hoodie" wants you to run a 7 yard post with a summersault(?) at the end you do it. It seems so simple. Team before Me, but the Pats are the only team that can consistently pull it off. It all starts with the coach who doesn't take any BS and QB who isn't afraid to chew some butt and back it up. If Dalton jumps down some ones throat do we really believe Ole Marv would back him up? As for the last sentence about Dalton, I do think Lewis would back him up. Lewis in three straight off seasons has talked about how its time for Dalton to take over this team and be the leader. So I think he would love to see Dalton do that. With that said this isn't about him. So I agree with everything else. The Pats are definitely all about the team, and have great leaders in their coach and QB.
January 22, 20188 yr I think they make a run at either Cousins or Eli. Bortles showed himself well this postseason and should get paid, but I just don't know if it's going to be in Jacksonville. It won't be Eli because he is staying with the Giants. No doubt about it.
January 22, 20188 yr I might not recover from this Fear not! My local drunks have come to a consensus on Bortles, that he is a franchise QB. All is well!
January 23, 20188 yr Show me where I said this :lol2: It wouldn’t let me quote because the thread is locked, but in the Eagles update thread you said “if your not a fan of the Patriots you hate them” and also said “I guess I’ll be pulling for the Eagles in two weeks.” That tells me you hate the Patriots.

That’s in regards to the Super Bowl. Never said such thing about the game with the Jags.... swing and miss... :lol2:
