And letting him go to the enemy Colts? What does Billichek have in mind not keeping McGinnest as well? At least there is still Seymour, Branch, Brady and Harrison; can someone please tell me what the Patriots plan is?

People had ths same arguement a few years ago about Drew Bledsoe and look at what they accomplished.  They Patriots leadership likes to play things close to the vest and not let out what they are planning.  With the Super Bowls they have won you have to trust what they are doing.

They can go all the way if they don't "rest" the starters like they did last year.. That was a BIG mistake! Since Edgie is gone, as soon as the line learns how to open a lane, you'll see the running game get as good as the passing game. Defense looked pretty awesome against the Pats when it really counted...

No way!  I've been disappointed the last few years with their drafts, I thought this year might be different with Art Shell back.  I think Brooks at qb is allright, but how can you pass on home town fav. Leinert?  Even if you don't keep him, good trade value.  If you don't take him, I think protecting Brooks is more important and you could get quality defense in the later rounds.

That is an excellent question that only ownership and management can truly answer.\nFrom what took place in last nights loss to Jacksonville, it does seem that if Shockey had been thrown the ball more often they may have scored more.\nI think if they used him more in conjuction with Tiki and the running game, Jeremy would be a lot more effective throughout the game.\nShockey is an excellent catch and run receiver.\nHow about using him in a variation of the screen pass; but will Eli under throw him like he did with Tiki?\nOr how about sending him deep like they do with Plaxico? No wait; Eli may under throw it again.\nWhen I talk with my brother, I jokingly refer to Eli as Perfect Play Eli.\nIt seems to me that everything has to go perfect for Eli to complete a pass.\nI think he READS TOO SLOW.\nMost of the time defenders know exactly to whom he’s throwing the ball.\nIt’s a wonder he’s not throwing more INTs than what he is.\nIn his defense; I think there’s too much pressure on him to hit the deep pass.\nAND I think somebody wants Plaxico to be A and THE STAR RECEIVER.

Maroney. They just put new turf on the Razor (Gillette Stadium) and it's the same stuff that he ran on in college last year. So he will be better. Dillon is also starting to get banged up...\n\nYoung. When it comes to their two teams, I just feel as though the Titans are more cohesive than the Cardinals. Uh, is there a third choice here?? :)\n\nTommy Boy (uh, Brady) He's always amazing down the stretch... whereas, yes, Vick can run, but he is an up and down QB... even at his worst, Brady is better than Vick...\n\nEli really does have potential, but Alex Smith is looking pretty good this season too... this is the only one that's a toss up for me... But, you can't go wrong with a Manning, so I'll say Eli...\n\nAny other questions ;) (Just kidding...)

Bill Coward is a schmuck. He's gonna retire at the end of the year... he should have retired after the super bowl... he's in the last year of his contract, he's gonna finish 3-13 and not be offered a contract after this season. From Hero to Zero to Coward. Quite the season!

No doubt about playing Caldwell. Brady will be throwing all day long against Detroit. Malroney will open it up for him and it's game on. Reche Caldwell.

I think he might realize that he's not the God of all wide-outs and next season he will give himself an attitude adjustment.  He is a star player, and I know he wants to continue breaking records.  He will get over this season and start again with someone else (possibly the Raiders or the Jets in my honest opinion).

I agree, from watching him this season, it appears that he can still play at a high level. However, Bettis has to consider more than just his level of play with this decision. Personally, is he satisfied? Does he still have the drive to play? Is it still worth all the pain and hard work, and not being with his family? I'm sure the Steelers would welcome him back, but they do have two capable backs in Willie Parker and Duce Staley (if healthy).

I agree, but even though Houston has no OL Reggie Bush would still put together a 1000 rushing yard and 500 recieving yard season. The Texans are using the excuse that because their in a divison with the Colts they need to stop the Colts, not out score them. One player, exspecially, Mario Williams, can't stop a whole team.

A bargain.  Baltimore gets a guy who can win immediately.  Any proven player over a pick after the second round is a bargain.  Tennessee has ruined the future of the team because Billy Volek is a free agent and he will work hard this year to boost his value but be gone since he won't backup Young.  If Volek continues to perform as he has, when can you put in Young?  So Fisher is in a horrible position and this will be his final year with the team as they will have a mediocre year in a tough division, Volek will pass a ton and trick someone out of millions in free agency and you will end up with an undertrained, rushed Young who won't have much time to "go live" during the year as the team looks to remain competitive enough not to just throw in the rookies.   So you'll have Young starting in 2007 while woefully unprepared.  This move makes no sense to me.

williams isnt hurt he has a drug test to disprove...man the dolphins ended up on a strong note last year and the patriots are so arrogant to think that they can let go of key components and they will keep rolling...it has worked before but the pats stop here go dolphins in 2006! and with a healthy culpepper and chambers mcmicheal brown whos gonna stop them ....we just need to adress the defensive backs and o line in the draft and we are set to be a force throughout the coach saban era!

What're his career highlights? Stinking it up in the only Super Bowl he led his team to? Being benched for Tom Brady, then cut for JP Losman, and now benched for Tony Romo? Choking in key games? Seriously....the man has nothing but slightly impressive statistics, went to the big dance all of once, and hasn't won ANYTHING. I'd love to see his play-off record, for example...

well, I'm a huge Raider fan to start out.  When I saw that the Titans took Young and the Jets stuck with their guns and took D'Brickashaw I was like "WE GOT LEINART!!!! WE GOT LEINART!!!"  then it came time for the Raiders to pick and I vividly remember hearing the commish saying "....the Oakland Raiders select Mmm" and I threw my hands in the air in triumph "Michael Huff from Texas"  man....the life was sucked out of me.  If you would have said the Raiders are gonna get Huff in the draft I would have been happy as hell.  If you THEN would have told me, "by the way, Leinart would have been available and you would have passed on him" I would think you were high.\nBut from all accounts the Raiders have high hopes for Andrew Walter and wern't about to draft another QB from USC even though Leinart probably won't resemble Todd Maranovich in the least bit.\nI love Huff and love it even more that he'll be starting and making plays week 1.  Darnell Bing is gonna suprise some people on the Raiders and I wouldn't be surprised if he gets someones starting job this season.\nHoward I know little to nothing about, only that he's an energy ball and has alot to learn and know even less about Paul McQuistan even though Weber St is like 15 minutes from my house LOL\n\nGO RAIDERS!!!!

I started Rex Grossman and my Chicago D against the Phins' and benched Tom Brady (Phily D was on bye week) and than what happens...they F%*&%#* loose? Thats like the Colts getting beat at home against the Raiders, hell the Phins' must have loaded themselves up with lots of steroids or something. But, I lost hope in the Bears I hope they loose every game from now on for the next few hundered pathic years of their exiestance, totaly unacceptable. The Bears are full of C$%&*#@ Sucking Losers!\n\nBefore Mamai: 7-0-0\n\nAfter Mamami: 7-1-0\n\nHopefully for the rest of the pathetic season: 7-9-0\n\nCedric Benson is a bust\n\nThomas Jones is a bust\n\nRex Grossman, the Florida QB curse continues...\n\n:(\n\n\nR.I.H. (Rest In Hell)\n\nChicago Bears

Maybe in Fantasy Football that statement would make sense. Just admit it already....the Patriots will make a come back before it's too late and your Colts will choke..once again!

This should work out well. Mangini specializes on defense, and will also influence Ty Law on his decision to stay. He is the youngest coach in the NFL, which will certainly attraction some attention from NFL experts.\n\nI predict a .500 season next year, provided everyone stays healthy. We've got the Dolphins and Pats twice, the Jags, Colts, and Bears on our schedule next season. I REALLY hope Mangini tries to draft one of the top 4 prospects coming into the draft, even if we already have someone at that position.\n\nBottom line: He should keep this team balanced, and over the next couple years he will lead the team to the playoffs again. I think he's a great fit for this team.
