"Playing from behind isn't our strong suit," Seymour told reporters. either is playing when you are tied, hence why the score against the Raiders quickly goes from 0-0 to 7-0 for their opponents, and playing with a lead, which they rarely have.
That isn't exactly what he said, nor is it what I think he meant. I think he meant that they couldn't beat a high school team last Sunday. This means that he thought they played horribly that day and that, potentially, on another day, such as when they beat the Eagles, they were an actual NFL team.
of course, that game is an anomaly and a team's quality is judged by how well they play week in and week out, not by isolating a few games. by that logic, the 1989 Cowboys were an actual NFL team, not a joke, if you simply judge them by their 1 win in the 1-15 season.
Big Sey is a stud. Nothing dirty about his play. Constantly doubled and still gets pressure. The Jets would love to get him. Pats looked ahead and realized they couldn't sign all their veterans to contracts and got value for him from Oakland. It WOULD be bad news for Patriots if he ended up back in the AFC East with another team. They just have to make sure the Wilfork deal gets done.
He knew from the gate that the raiders were in bad shape thats why he wanted to be traded again... from superbowls to toilet bowl really sucks he is not use to it
