I call it right now:
Adam Vinatieri's foot will somehow cost us a shot at the Super Bowl...SIGNING WITH THE COLTS WILL BITE US IN THE ASS.
Ah well, at least I'm not resting my hopes on an unproven QB who sat on the bench for two years while letting go of a proven starter in Drew Brees...good job A.J. Smith.
Oh yeah, and Aaron Brooks? Haha Al Davis...can't wait to see Art Shell blow up at Aaron for another "slow start."

Yeah . . . the organization was SO STUPID for letting the heart and soul of the franchise walk, and give the team to an unproven young 6th-round draft pick . . . (Bledsoe)
The franchise was also RIDICULOUSLY STUPID to let the heart and soul of the secondary leave in his prime, with almost zero in terms of backup for him . . . (Ty Law)
What the hell was Belichick THINKING, signing a MALCONTENT IDIOT who spends most of his time suspended or paying fines for cheap shots, to run an inexperienced secondary? Oh yeah, will he ever be D Captain? (Harrison)
WHY GOD WHY take on an idiot, underachieving, malcontent RB? He'll NEVER buy into the concept, he'll RUIN the team! (Dillon)
Oh yeah, they also let their 'best' WR walk last year, too . . .

Sorry man, i know you're venting, but the Pats FO has shown it will refuse to play favorites when trying to execute its plan . . . plus with $20mil available under the cap (minus locking up Seymour through his productive peak), I would wait a bit. I think they'll be fine - McGinest was on the way down and was massively overpaid by CLE, and the CB/WR situation was the definition of fungible. AV is obviously an issue, but why pay $4mil/per for a kicker? Seriously, AV was 'clutch' but he didn't have a great season otherwise last year . . . and how much of the rage is simply b/c he went to the Colts?
