Looks like the Patriots have picked up yet another former Raven, this time Mike Flynn.

I'm not sure what I think about this, but at the end of the day I'm not worried, as we dont play the pats and we should be focused on building a younger OL from the ground up that will hopefully be tops in the league 2-3 seasons down the road.

why are the pats so obsessed with picking up players who are way past their primes?

Because it seems to work for them. They did go 17-1 last year.

well we did acquire McNair, Rolle, Mason, Zo Neal in recent years....

Because Bill Belichick knows how to get the most out of his players.

Videotaping scandal or not, he and Scott Pioli are great talent evaluators, and they seem to find guys who fit the Patriots' offensive & defensive schemes very well...even if those guys are older than the average age of starters at their position.

well 18-1...ofcourse it shouldve been 17-2 because we shouldve beaten them but the refs screwed us
