New England's Search For History - Open Thread

in 2007 Game Day Threads
I wasn't going to make a thread for the game, but after watching former Akron Zip, former Denver Bronco draft pick Domenik Hixon run back a kick-off for a TD, well, I couldn't resist.
Just another example of the Broncos making an example of the WRONG GUY! I was defensive about Hixon for a couple reasons.....One, we both went to Akron. Two, he is a solid return guy, even if the Broncos couldn't figure out a way to block for him.
Congratulations to the New England Patriots. Only the 4th team in the history of the National Football League to finish the regular season undefeated. Like 'em or hate 'em, it's impressive.

Hey Gumbel
Hey Seau why don't you hustle off the field and overpersure halftime.

50 TD passes for Brady

Hixon was cut
Plus, he was only strating for NY because their regular guy was injured, and he wasn't cracking their receiving lineup anymore there than here. You have to make a sacrifice somewhere to have a pure returner on the team, and to me Hixon had too much to learn and not enough natural ability to tie up a roster spot.
Did we replace him? No. Do I wish we had him back? Yes, but hindsight is always 20/20, and I am still not sold on him being able to break a starting lineup on any team at WR.

Agree to disagree...
Doesn't matter now, but as I watched him last night, and Cribbs in the Browns game today return a punt for a TD I imagine what it would be like to have that type of weapon....

We agree
I'm just saying that Hixon was not developing fast enough for us to be competetive with him.
I think getting cut was what it took for him to "get it." I do wish we had him back, and I would slay for a pure athlete returner that could cut swaths through the ugly part of the return.
He was definitely our most hasty cut of the year, though.

I think the Everett injury
I think I agree with both of you - it was reasonable to cut Hixon at the time, but in hindsight it would be nice to still have him.
