It might not be the correct take, but have we ever seen a situation where a coach benched the #1 player at their position without giving a reason and did not once go to him when that side of the ball was getting the brakes beaten off them in Superbowl? I can't think of a legit reason why you...

I really hope this isn't true. The timing with Vrabel out seemed to line up so perfectly and now we hear that they already decided on Mayo and aren't planning to look externally for a GM? It's lunacy. I like Mayo, but wouldn't have made more sense to promote him to official DC, bring Vrabel...

It's disingenuous though. Brady wanted multi-year commitment, not to be the highest paid QB. I don't think there is any doubt that he would have stayed had the Pats offered the same 2-year, $50m deal TB offered. $25m a year is not elite QB money. It's mid-level, I think he was tied 15th in...

No one has said the Pats should only load up on the offense. The complaint is Bill has done a terrible job of providing the offense with talented skill-position players over the years. A few exceptions doesn't prove the rule. I don't disagree that the last few years have been as bad as...

What does defense have to do to responding to your claim that Bill deserves credit because 'He drafted, developed, coached, and surrounded hm the Grade A talent for 20 years.' Yeah, because they had Tom Brady. Guess what, now they don't, they are finding out that an offense with a bunch of...

Deion Branch a grade A talent :rofl:. Never made a pro-bowl, never hit 1000 yds in a season, only once had more than 5 TDs. Averaged 47 rec, 604yds, 3.5 TDs per season. He was a solid B level receiver, in no world is he a 'grade A' talent.

He was drafted in the 6th round. Bill had no idea Brady was going to turn into a serviceable QB, let alone the GOAT, or why would he have waited until the 6th? How many of 'his guys' has he reached and drafted way higher than needed? Developed - I'd argue the development was almost all...

It's not bs Madden style, it's how a lot of offenses operate now, it's using advanced metrics and it's smart. Bill just still lives in the 90s so you never see our offense do anything remotely aggressive. Heck, Bill was even absurdly conservative when Brady was still here. What happened to...

More complaining about the refs. How about Mac not throw a damned hospital ball and then force it into triple coverage?

Are we really becoming fans that blame the refs... I don't like the call, but come on.

And what exactly did he show you that makes you think he's a Franchise QB? its year 3. If you don't have the talent to be a top 5-10 QB, you better be smart and clutch. Jones clearly doesn't have top 5-10 talent, has terrible pocket awareness, is skittish, and hasn't shown once that he can be...

And why is Parker and JuJu on the team? BB has no clue evaluating offensive talent.

A JAG catches that. That was an awful awful drop. That said, Mac was garbage all game. Making 1 great throw that MAYBE sets up an attempt at a GW FG does not absolve him of the prior 59 minutes of horrible play.

Henry was wide open, Mac can't make a real throw to save his life. He is not an NFL caliber QB throwing downfield or on the run. That wasn't a difficult throw.

I don't know how you can be watching the games the last 3+ years and think BB is the best coach in the league. Pure DC coordinator, I'll give you that; but the norm has become a team that is unprepared come game time, makes stupid mistakes, turns the ball over, isn't situationally aware...

Difference is that it's now year 3 and things are going backwards. Brady looked solid year one and made the clutch drive to win a Superbowl. Year 2 he led the league in TDs. Year 3 he was 3rd in MVP voting and won his 2nd Superbowl. Mac has shown absolutely nothing to suggest he's even a...

I haven't been a fan of TBs play calling all year, but holy crap was that bad. Fournett should have never thrown that ball. It was clear that they had Brady covered and expected it to go his way after they left him wide open earlier. As soon as they snapped I was yelling 'don't throw it!'...

1 TO per SB appears is actually damn f*cking good. Mahomes has 5 TO in 2 superbowls, Peyton had 8 in 4 superbowls, Rodgers only had the 1 superbowl appearance, but he's had 7 turnovers in 4 NFC championship games. Even Montana, the outlier with 4 turnover-less superbowls, had 7 turnovers 7...

It was less an implosion and more about facing good teams down the stretch. Heading into the Colts game, they had a stretch of beating up on terrible teams, the break of facing Tenn w/o DH, and eeking out a win vs Buffalo in the wind bowl. They were massively overrated at that point. The...

Am I the only one who hates seeing a low percentage deepshot on 3rd down when you are 5-10 yards from FG range? Drives me nuts. On 3rd and short/manageable in that spot should be a high percentage throw.
