Ok the Pats are not tanking on purpose. First BB job is definitely on the line this year if they finish with a top 5 pick. IMO if they get that Jerod Mayo is the new HC, or I am hearing they may go after Harbaugh (Michigan) and give him the BB type roll. (Not sure how true that’s from Sports talk radio)
So my point is BB can’t afford to tank, because he will not get the power he has here anywhere else at age 71.
