Whatever they "offered" Aiyuk is irrelevant because they never traded for him, so it was never real. Until I see a player walk away from the Patriots despite having the best contract out there, then I'm not letting Kraft off the hook.
WTF
He wasn't a FA. He didn't walk away from anything.Because he refused to sign with NE......i.e. he walked away from the best contract out there.
Those last two play calls were certainly something. That run on first down was a waste of a play if that was the gameplan.
It was a prayer from Maye but ya i am questioning why the receiver is running all the way down the field when you need 13. It was also 3rd down so Maye could have played for 4th.That one was on Douglas.
He wasn't a FA. He didn't walk away from anything.
We’re just gonna end up with Tee Higgins and another WR picked high in the draft and it will be all goodHe refused to sign an extension with NE and he wasn't going to play without a new deal. That's why NE didn't trade for him. You can keep trying to twist it how you want to fit your narrative, but the Patriots were willing to pay the marquee WR's this off-season and they wouldn't come here because of the QB situation.
Is this more of a guarantee than a Don Godfather Bruins Wild Card playoff berth “book it”?Comeback would have been sweet but good day otherwise
Game was decided at line of scrimmage
Rams OL is very good & DL is ferocious and quick side to side
Belichick handed them a shit sandwich overall - going to take a very good offseason
LT round 1
C round 2
FA WR stud

Thanks for reminding me I am attending a reality-check/yoga retreat in December and same weekend as my buddy class reunion who has to bag out.Is this more of a guarantee than a Don Godfather Bruins Wild Card playoff berth “book it”?
Gene Sterratore telling us a ball is incomplete and they don't even bother to look at it
I'm not spinning anything. No FA has walked away from the top deal on the market. They offered the most money to guys like Henry and Judon, and they signed with them. It's really not hard. The Aiyuk situation is extremely different than a FA. He was looking for an extension and demanded a trade or holdout till he got his contract. He used the Patriots for leverage. How was it that they where somehow going to blow away Ayiuk with an extension, but come up short on Ridley when that fell through? It's a convient excuse for Kraft to go after a guy that was never leaving his team to begin with. When they had a guy in the open market that had no team and had to sign somewhere, they came up short.He refused to sign an extension with NE and he wasn't going to play without a new deal. That's why NE didn't trade for him.

Right.... Because if it's one thing the New England Patriots have proved, it's that they know how to draft WRsWe’re just gonna end up with Tee Higgins and another WR picked high in the draft and it will be all good
