here's a pats thread for everyone to talk about patritos shit because nobody else cares

true patrito promotion

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DIFJGl6XgAI3d8v.jpg:small

i guess on the bright side this is prob among the more benign/constructive uses of defense budget money

lil prediction for yall: pats are going to be good this year. remember where you saw it first

what is the britishes for 'yall'

you lot

pats r gonna be good this year you lot

oi you lot, pats are going to be shit hot this year

tell you what, i fancy a bit of gridiron

thats what i meant

#Patriots WR Julian Edelman has suffered what is believed to be a torn ACL, per sources. MRI tomorrow to confirm.

bummer for jules. maybe if he had wanted it more his knee would've stayed intact.

Wow, short season, RIP Pats.

as much as edelman is one of the guys you'd least want to lose, the pats have literally never been this deep at skill positions. this offense is still going to be a wrecking ball.

I'm sure the Pats will pull out some new diminutive WR out of some lab deep below Gillette Stadium to be the Welkerbot V.4 or TroyBrownbot V.2.

it's finally 'Dola's time to shine!

whos that undrafted rookie they got hes the new julian welker

danny gets promoted from hardly playing at all to splitting wr3 with mitchell. whether he gets significant playing time probably depends on how early in the season gronk gets injured, and whether dwayne allen is any good. before the injury tho there was a small chance he didn't make the roster at all, which is sad fpr a dude who takes a pay cut every year to stay on the team. it's funny to think back to those couple seasons when he was the entire rams offense.

the undrafted rookie wr everyone is excited about this time is austin carr, who i guess now is actually a roster shot despite seeming inevitably destined for the practice squad like the exciting camp rookie wrs usually are. he does not seem to be in the julian welker mould, sadly

too tall

if ur a gm and belichick calls u up trying to trade for yr small white 3rd option slot receiver do u get super nervous or

have any of you guys gone to foxboro for a game? i'm trying to do this & don't know when is the best time to buy a ticket off stubhub. should I wait and hope a less expensive single ticket pops up in the week before the game?

i've gone but i had a sweet hookup through an ilxor. just looked at prices for the second game and.......damn.

i wouldn't be optimistic about getting anything all that much cheaper.

yeah thats a tough ticket id say if you see a price u like just take it

obv the patriots are an entirely different franchise since when gillette was built but it does suck that it is in the bottom half of stadiums by capacity. if they could rustle up another 20000 seats maybe ppl could afford to see a game. or maybe that would just soak up the season ticket waiting list...

i don't know what the resale prices are, altho i can imagine, but i would say it is 100% worth going at least one time for the experience

otm, it is awesome

Only Pats game I've been to was at Sullivan Stadium, Bledsoe vs Marino, the year they went to the super bowl.

resale is like $275 for the cheapest seats rn. ugh. i hate expensive tickets. i've never paid that much to see anything (closest was like $175 but it was kendrick lamar one-off show at the kennedy center so). but i'll probably do it

sullivan was such a pit! lol the pats were the worst, how times change

that shit didnt even have seats just cold ass metal benches

this guy, this bill belichick. he's always up to something but it's never quite what you expect. and it rarely seems to make sense. but it usually works out pretty well.

ok, cassius marsh trade is more like what i was waiting for. that's a superb pick up. and made possible by the jets sending richarson to seattle, presumably.

Smh they cheating lol https://t.co/IwPCWirZCw

reacting to brissett/dorsett trade

austin carr sniped by new orleans, rip this year's camp breakout undrafted rookie wr. saints' wr factory will prob make something out of him but still a 50/50 chance he is wr4 on the jets in a couple years.

peace be with u lil homie

this is kind of interesting, highest passer rating vs NE for 50+ attempts since 2000.

it goes:
1. Brees
2. Wilson
3. Kaepernick
4. Plummer
5. Green
6. Ryan
7. Smith
8. Dalton
9. Orton
10. Eli
11. Rodgers

folks theres a football game to night

America's passtime

wordplay

Oh shit they lost another wr already while I wasn't paying attention. Maybe Dorsett is a quick learner...

Feeling very guilty that I'm probably skipping my exercise class to watch this tonight.

football should be illegal but i will probably watch

football starting is good cos that means the nba season is around the corner. also football is pretty cool sometimes.

anyone else watch that 'do your job' (v2) pats documentary that nbc played a couple days ago? v interesting esp the gambling by patricia when calling the defense in the second half after that julio jones catch. including the fact that they knew one of the refs on that crew made a critical holding call in a prev playoff game.

also one of my favorite belichick quotes re the first half -> "I felt like we had control of the game. We just didn't have control of the score."

lol

also i miss legarrette blount he seems like one of the nicest guys

regular at celtics games too

i recorded dyj2 but haven't watched yet, psyched for it tho.

saw legarrette at a c's game once, he is an enormous dude.

lol why they have wahlberg out there everyone knows he left before it even got to 28-3
