  1. This would b a loss. But the cap is putting pressure on the Pats. I hope the get Wilfork done soon.

  1. This would be a loss more as an End than anything else - and we still have Jarvis Green who is better. I guess it's difficult to draft a back up Nose and then watch him develop but I guess that's what they're going to have to do.

  1. Wright would be a loss....one bad game does not make a career. Huge depth issue if he goes.

  1. No big loss with Mike Wright leaving. I cringed every time he came onto the field. If you watch game film, you will know what I mean.

  1. What are you talking about NBC?? If you want to blame anyone for the Colts game, blame David Thomas. His unnceessary rougnhness penalty cost us the game.

  1. #6 and Gaffneys drop, too

    gotta KEEP Mike...if Wilfork gets hurt (or doesn't sign...we're still waiting I think) who else is there?

    a rookie ain't gonna be ready if drafted & there's not many (if any) free-agent NT's out there
