Well, Da... Who wouldn't be.

It really is all about protecting Brady. If you do he is exceptional. If you do not, then he is very ordinary and there are no magic plays..

The entire organization better be motivated by that loss. Let's get the job done right this time fellas.

I agree with you 50yearfan, if you cannot protect the QB (whether Brady and Manning or anyone else) your offense will sputter. It's a cold hard reality for the majority of teams in the league.

When is this Belichick porno coming out?

50, I agree. Before the Giants, Brady used to be able to eat and sandwhich and polish off a brewskie before throwing the ball. That's a luxury 95% of QB's simply don't have.

I have to laugh about the "blue print" for beating the Pats..It is simply this. If you can get five guys like Strahan, Osi, Tuck, robbins and Alford all playing at a high level to drive the QB into the ground 19 times a game, then you can keep their offense in check....Not exactly rocket science.
Now you just need another one for Welker. Oh, and if you can get Faulk out of the game then that helps a whole lot on the dump off passes....

Breaking news: Pats coach also motivated by his "leadership quote of the day calander".

Seriously - is this really a story???

Wow, they are motivated by the Super Bowl loss. I would have never thought they would do that. Now this is breaking news.

he needs more motivation than money?

wonder if he was motivated enough to upgrade to dvd-r and lose that old vhs format..

And, in other news, water is wet.

I just heard from an inside source, that the Patriots goal this season, is to win the Super Bowl. Look for the official story on Truth & Rumors tomorrow.

Mental
Where do you get these top sources......sweet. Got any winning Lotto numbers for me too?
Your skins did not look so good Thursday. Campbell looks perplexed.

Wow, a press release masquerading as news.

50yearfan, you're absolutely right that a decent QB is more effective when his OL is strong. Which is what worries me about my team...

IronCityGirl ..iron city beer was my favorite as a kid. Bought it in quart bottles. gooood stuff.....Your team will be fine. Not sure they are not the dark horse to win the AFC. Hope they do..

he should be motivated by his arrogance to not max protect Brady during that game. Belichick was believing his own press about how great his team was. hopefully he learned a lesson.

50 yearfan, thanks for the vote of confidence (on the Sillers and the local swill). I think they've addressed some OL issues, but I'm worried about the center and LG positions. It's very unlike us to not have a year-after-year reliable center (i.e., Webster, Dawson)

"the Sillers and"

erm, "Stillers"

Ok, we'll see

IronCityGirl ..The O line will be fine. The best running back in this last draft is in black and Gold..Too easy to get caught up in names when it comes to lineman. It is a work ethic position G and Center as much as talent. Pittsburg knows lineman, Y'ins will be fine.
