I’m starting to wonder if the Patriots need to look outside the organization for help on defense.

Has Mike Vrabel stayed in game shape and would he be willing to come back?

Would Belichick be willing to give up a 2nd round draft pick for a CB or LB from another organization, possibly from his “friends” in Denver or KC?

I know “It Is What It Is”, but “What It Is” right now is one of the worst defenses IN NFL HISTORY. Even if it improves somewhat as the year goes on, we are still looking at a bottom tier defense that won’t scare ANYONE in January, much like 2005 and 2009. Unless Belichick is willing to look for answers/upgrades outside the organization, we are probably looking at a dogfight for the AFC East and an early exit again if the Patriots get in.

The problem is BB doesn’t have anyone who is questioning him. There needs to be more checks and balances with the coaches and management. This is where Scotty P shined within the organization. It has been said that with his scheme, the linebacks and DE’s, need time to adjust to the speed and responsibilities of the game; this is why he has been leary drafting rookies to play these positions because they would be a liability. The league has shown over the last couple of years that this isn’t the case. His players may grasp the scheme’s but are too old, slow and do not get upfield like their younger counterparts. I hope this is an embarrassment for BB. I hope he is intelligent enough to set his pride aside; but, I do not believe this will happen. We may have seen our last trophy with this man. He preaches team but conducts otherwise.

I can not see the Pats defense any worse without Mayo in the line up. Don’t get me wrong, Mayo is probably the best player on the defense. The defense will get better as they start getting back all the defensive players that are out. They have as much talent on defense as other teams, so why are they about to set an NFL record for yards given up? They are just plain VANILLA on defense. They do nothing special to make the opposing QB second guess the play. I do not know if Belichick is just a genius and not doing anything with the defense until playoff time or he really needs a defensive coach to turn it around. We’ll find out as the season progresses.

I am not a johnny-com-lately to the position that BB has poor evaluation when it comes to the draft and average imagination when it comes to the defense. For example, nobody is left from the 2006-2008 draft classes. If it weren’t for TB, the Patriots would be just an average team. The Patriots need an insightful General Manager to make the final draft decisions, groceries or no groceries!

This is what happens when one person has too much control. There is one one to tell the emperor he has no clothes. Why he let Meriweather go when he had no one to replace him is a complete mystery. It must have been from a personal dislike. If BB wants to run the defense himself that’s fine. But he at least must have someone strong enough to help/question his drafting and personnel decisions.

BB has all breast-fed clones as coaches. He had the Green Bay D Coordinator Dom Capers, as a NE assistant, but refused to give him any meaningful role, so he left. There is no one to question BB. And BB makes mistakes like cutting 2 good safeties with no experienced replacements. Trading Seymour and refusing to draft high a pass rusher. Letting Adam Vinitieri go, which cost us our last Superbowl when BB didn’t trust the new kicker, and tried for a l-o-n-g 4th down conversion that failed. Or Asante. Etc. 4-3 or3-4 makes no difference. We can not rush the passer. We give opposing QBs time to have a Pepsi while they look down field. OUR DBs would be much better if we could get consistent pressure.

Yes Francona allowed players to disrespect him too much. Like Ortiz. Agree with the Varitek comments. He does not deserve the Captaincy.

I feel bad for hard working guys like Brady and Welker and Branch. They are short changed by this pathetic defense and bad coaching on D. With any middle of road D (like Bears or Dallas D, no even top of line Ravens and Jets D), Brady and company would have as much chance as Greenbay. But with this D and coaching, Brady et el has no chance because they have no room for error. Any playoff, with bad weather and pressure, everyone makes errors. Good D can hold teams to FGs. This D will lie down and give up a TD everytime O turns over. Like previous 2 years. BB’s arrogance is costing TB his legacy as GOAT.

Improvements Pats can make.1)Ochocinco needs to go across middle in traffic to make catches that is what made him great in Cincinnati.2)Pick Up veteran safety before playoffs.3)Use rb Shane Vereen who is just as good as Ridley if not better.

I would like to hear from someone who really knows the internal things that go on with BB and defensive coaches. BB did not get three rings from not listening and making good decisions. The D needs work, and they are missing that spark. I thought Hanyesworth would bring it; but that is on hold at the moment.

They were not that bad against Raiders; minus the last touchdown and only gave up 12 points. I thought they shut the run game down pretty good except just for a few good runs. Maybe the secondary is suffering because not enough pressure up front. It seems the Pats get lucky a lot with picks at key moments. Some say it is not luck, but sooner or later on a long drive QB is going to screw up.

A few months ago I got a Toshiba satellite laptop and It’s been working fine up until now. At first the charger worked great, but then it would only charge if you held it in, and now it doesn’t charge at all. I don’t think the charger is the problem, but the socket. Maybe it’s too lose? But how much do you think it would cost to repair?.
