I never said high priced free agents, you just assume shit like that. Kind of like making up shit in your own mind, huh? Proven players are free agents in the second tier that come in and complete teams, like New England does year after year.

I don't whine about the Packers. I call shit like I see it and as it is. I'm not going to shoot sunshine up asses that haven't earned it. When a player is declining, it's time to look for his replacement, not make up excuses for his lack of performance just because he wears a G on his helmet and use to be good. There's something you've never figured out in professional football, there is no such thing as loyalty. You're as good as your last game and there are hundreds of players itching to take a roster spot. When your team puts in a performance like the Packers did on Thanksgiving - the fans that spend thousands of dollars in their lifetime rooting for that team have every right to call out players, coaches, and management for a team that laid down like little girls.

Now you force me to post records, now mind you these ARE NOT STATS.

Since Ted Thompson took over as GM

............Packers....Patriots
Draft picks....88.......80

........Packers.....Patriots
2005 4-12.......10-6
2006 8-8........12-4
2007 13-3........16-0
2008 6-10........11-5
2009 11-5........10-6
2010 10- 6........14-2
2011 15-1........13-3
2012 12-4........11-5
2013 5-6-1.......9-3
84-55-1....106-34
Super Bowl wins 1 each.

I'm not even going to give Ted a pass for the 2005 season, when he gutted the The Packers roster, not going to give him a pass when he decided to change Franchise Qb's in 2008, but if I did eliminate those 2 years The regular season wins would be 74 for The Packers 85 for The Patriots. Super Bowl rings Packers 1 Patriots 0

Wow your point is really made, Patriots way of forming a team IS WAY MUCH BETTER than the Packers.

Your last statement proves my point that I have been making all along, which is , you don't have a clue.

But I see your point Buckeye, you're the one that is enlightened. [roflmao] [roflmao] [roflmao] A dumbass you are, hmmmmm? Thanks for the statistical masturbation though, we all enjoy that so much.

Personally, I think Raji has gotten somewhat of a bad rap from some fans. He has a purpose in Dom's D to take up space, take up blockers and do little else. He is there schematically to occupy opposing players to allow the playmakers to get home to finish plays. Raji had an unprecedented number of snaps that he played in 2010-2012. Having Jolly on our DL, along with an improved Daniels allows them to spread out his snaps to more players. as we've seen in this year.

He never complained, always showed up during that big stretch of games, two years + worth of high snap counts for the big fella.

I don't think he has played all that great this year, but he is a playmaker, and maybe we see him make a game changing play or two, or three throughout the remainder of our season. If he does, and we somehow win it all, I would definitely want him to return.

It's early, and like many players Raji seems to be shooting for the top of the market.

At this point, it looks to be a deep group of defensive tackles coming free in mid-March. The depressed market at the position figures to be in the $4 million to $6 million range.
