I know. Sir Randall beat both Revis and Cromartie 1 on 1 for long touchdowns in 2010:
The Jets wouldn't have been able to isolate Moss - he would beat them. They'd have to keep at least one safety back, and thus the entire defensive scheme changes. Moss probably has 3 catches for like 25 yards, but Wes probably has a 10/135 day, Hernandez a 6/80 day, Gronk a 5/60 day, etc.

Maybe if Moss wasn't a turd who whined about his contract, he'd still be in Foxboro and the Pats would have another Lombardi or two. But at the end of the day, he turned into the high-maintenance baby he's been for much of his career.
The only person you should blame for Randy Moss not being with the Patriots is Randy Moss for being exactly who Randy Moss has always been. |
This is the yearly breakdown of the 8 year/75m contract Moss signed in 2000:
Mort breaks down Moss' deal:
| Quote: |
Signing bonus: $10 million ($7 million upon signing, $3 million due March 2002)
2001 salary: $500,000
2002 salary: $500,000
Option bonus, March 2003: $8 million
2003 salary: $5 million
2004 salary: $5.75 million
2005 salary: $7.25 million
2006 salary: $8.25 million
2007 salary: $8.75 million
2008 salary: $11.25 million |
Moss took a salary cut from 8.75 to 1.5m to play here in 2007. The 3yr, 27m deal he signs in 08 paled in comparison to Philys 4 yr, 40m offer.
Moss contract hate is absurd. He never would have been here at all if he had no taken a crazy pay cut.

I love Melton, he's my no.1 FA by a fair distance, which means I'm resigned to not getting him. 
Byrd too, I like him as player but I don't see the Bills letting him go.
Jennings is a massive red-flag to me. Lots of different injuries this year, thats always a warning sign. He'll cost too much for the IR risk he poses.
Reed I'm undecided about, never been a fan of FAs where you're paying for a name and a resume. He's older, lost a step, injured frequently and has started making lapses in coverage. In top of that he'll be at most a 2 year player.
Re the WR situation...I'm sad to say I think Welker is gone. He's 32 next year and at some point he's going to hit a wall. Dream scenario is Bowe, but he'll price himself out of our range.

Revis- Suffered a hamstring injury just a tat prior to Moss cutting in inside on that route and gave up the TD. Other than that, he shut him down for that game and the 2 games in 2009
Crow-Did you forget how Crow int'd 2 passes for Moss in the 2nd half, you know the half where they failed to do anything offensively and it was Brady chucking it to Moss for no apparent reason even though other targets were wide open.
Revis has always covered him by himself w.o safety help. Therefore your plan would not work in that playoff game.
You take your two outside WRs-Tate and Moss, they are taken out by Crow and Revis, that leaves 2-3 targets being covered by 6 guys (3 man pass rush like they did in that game).
Moss hasn't had an impact in this league after the 2009 season.
Like Mccurty said, You should be blaming Moss for Mossing himself out of Foxboro.

Um no Moss had him right off the line. He also burned Revis, and the safety help LOL, earlier in the game:

Both were poor throws by Brady, espec. the tipped pass which was picked.

 the picture above says otherwise, as do dozens of clips

Congratulations then. He couldn't reel in that pass. Kinda like that pass from Brady to Moss vs the Phins on MNF. You know, the game he pouted like a baby to Bill O'Brien.
I was wrong. He did beat him inside on a go route badly but Revis still recovered. And he still didn't get any safety help. I looked at that play just now. Jets were barely lining up when Brady quick snapped it. Either looked like a cover 1 or cover 3 w. only 1 safety in the middle.

Go watch that game again. That was [inappropriate/removed] poor performance by Brady. Aaron Hernandez had around 80-90 yards in the 1st half. The Jets couldn't cover him. Yet in the 2nd half, Brady had horse blinders with Moss. Wes and Aaron rarely saw the ball. Also, on one of an int, nice play by Moss to knock the ball down...oh wait, he didn't.
| Quote: | the picture above says otherwise, as do dozens of clips

Yes. "pictures" and a "dozen of clips" out of 202 snaps in 3 games vs the Jets in 2009 and 2010.
Guess Brady still needs Moss to beat the Jets. Damn those season sweeping loses to the Jets in the last two years!
And how is Moss doing with the 49ers? As I recall, you did say that the main reason why Moss wasn't catching the ball was b/c of Alex Smith and his noodle arm. Now with Colin Kaepernick in the game, one would think that a big arm QB like him (I believe he threw a 90+mph fast ball in HS) would present Moss more down the field opportunities.
He has a whopping 1 reception for 12 yards out of 3 targets in 2 games.
Your god is done in the NFL. Let it go please for the sanity of other Pats fans in this forum.

Much of that is totally irrelevant. Add Moss to the 2010 and 2011 teams, and we win it all.
its a fact

Not delusional at all. Nobody could match up with
Moss Welker Branch Gronandez with Brady at QB.

...that is what we have been discussing this entire time. Are you sure it is my eyes which need some help?

| I'm of the opinion that the Pats passing offense will be top 10, most likely top 5 even without retaining Welker and signing/drafting nobody of note. The defense concerns me so much more. I'm not sure how you can complain about the Pats defense but want the Pats to target WRs high in the draft/expensive FAs. There are only so many assets that the Pats can use, I'd rather it be focused on the defensive side of the ball. If we can get Melton + Volmer resigned we are going to be strong on both sides of the line which I really like. |

I think part of it is just experience which they lack. I'm also convinced BB keeps things relatively vanilla for the first 8 games/pre bye week of every season the past couple years.
Besides Wilfork and Mayo, everyone else on our defense is 24 or under IIRC. This isn't Bruschi/Vrabel/Harrison/Law where they could win with experience and wisdom. We're a young team with lots of young talented players. They just need to keep developing and growing together. Mayo and Wilfork are the only ones who can be considered in their prime, and yet we're what, 13th in points allowed? I'll take that absolutely.
Chandler
Hightower
Spikes
McCourty
Those four guys I think we can expect to see continued big time improvement the next couple years as they continue to grow.
I think we need help with our safeties, but it's not nearly as dark a forecast as people try to spin it.

Big time improvement from Spikes and McCourty? Not so sure about that.
Spikes is IMO about as good as he'll ever be. Additional experience will help him a bit, but he's already great at what he does well and age/experience probably isn't going to make him useful in the passing game (coverage)
McCourty, he might improve if he sticks at safety and continues to learn/develop there but I wouldn't say it's a given.
I don't think the D is that many pieces away from being really good, but those missing pieces (interior rusher, DB's who aren't awful) have been elusive. |
