Scary Good

[Partial]

New England has done this without Rodney Harrison (very overrated and not great anymore), their starting strong safety, and then Richard Seymore (one of the best overall linemen in the league). That is just a crazy thought.

That team is scary good. They are only going to get better as well.

They did spend all that cash very wisely. I love em, cause they have been a covering machine.

They are a very good run organization, from top to bottom. They know how to manage a budget and get the most out of their players and coaches.

Their free agent moves were way too expensive, and will set the team up for a disaster in futue cap years. Moss is a cancer who is going to destroy that lockerroom in the middle of the season.

All you have to do is look at the 2007 GBP and KNOW how to build a team. You need 47 draft choices each year.

It's really clear. The Pats will fall on their face by mid-season.

DISCLAIMER

The preceeding post is meant as satirical humor by a member of packerrats who has been accused of being negative. In the spirit of disclosure, it should be made perfectly clear that the negative poster has a very satirical streak in him, and he views the above post as very funny. If you are a member of the majority viewpoint of this forum and find this viewpoint objectionable, you are encouraged to respond quite voiciferously, multiple times, using every example, adjective, prior post, and confirmed opinion to refute it. Many others will in fact "pile on" about your negative perspective, your bewildering hatred of Ted Thompson, and your disdain for the best 4-0 team to have ever walked the planet.

Should you be confused about what I actually meant above, it was and is a satirical response to all the "know it alls" who criticized ANY heavy spending in the 2007 free agency period. It is widely known that the NE Patriots were big participants in this period, after having not utilized "big spending" contracts previously. It is an attempt to contrast the activities of the GBP who essentially shunned free agency in 2007, and largely built through the draft.

Or, alternatively, you could laugh lightly and move on. Your choice.

Yes. Very good. Insult this self-labeled majority then tell them to lighten up and move on. Is that satirical too?

[Deputy Nutz]

He probably pissed in the punch bowl as well.

I am tempering my impressions with the reality of their opponents. Not that this is not a very good team, but Buffalo and the Jets look like the bottom of the league - SD is in shambles - and Cincy is a poor D team - and you add the injuries - they weren't that good.

They are beating the teams that they should be - however, before I crown them, I want to see them against some good teams - Dallas and Indy games will be very telling. If they destroy those teams, ain't nobody catching them, but if those games are close - who knows.

I suppose so Skin. Or, it could just be tongue in cheek humor.

Your choice. Take it as you wish.

You can say this about all the 4-0 teams right now accept maybe INDY.

You obviously didn't understand the satirically sarcastic double entendric nature of my internet forum post.

Perhaps you should add a disclaimer? The packerrats "forum ettiquette" person schooled me on it earlier today. You wouldn't want anyone to take what you said in a manner not consistent with how you intended it. Pretty soon that'll lead to you being viewed as I am - negative with a bad attitude. Help me spare you that pain.

You'll have to forgive me for not taking your advice on disclaimers.

Deputy Nutz - that is exactly my point. Indy is the only team that has beat some decent teams.

New England's wins came against opponents with a combined win total of
4. Dallas' wins came against opponents whose combined wins total 3.
Green Bay has done only slightly better, with opponents having 5 wins,
while Indy has done the best with opponents with a win total of 6.

GB probably has beaten 3 teams in the lower third of the league
(Philly, Chargers, Vikings), while beating one team in the middle third
(Giants). Dallas' wins came against three teams in the lower third
(Miami, Chicago, and St. Louis - with Miami and St. Louis probably
ranked dead last) with only one team in the middle third (Giants). The
Patriots have beaten 4 teams probably all in the lower third.

Indy is the only team with some quality wins - one win came against a
lower third team (New Orleans), two wins from a middle tier (Denver and Houston) and one wins against top third team (Tennessee).

So far, Indy's wins have been most impressive. The rest are wins the teams should beat.

[SkinBasket]

The rest are wins the teams should beat.

It's kind of hard to make that determination, though, when the "teams you should beat" change from one week to the next. Certainly you wouldn't have called PHI and SD teams the Packers should beat 4 weeks ago.

3 or 4 games is too small of a sample to know whether the teams you played are good or bad (or whether you are even good or bad). I suspect some of these 1-3 teams get on a roll, and vice versa.
