But even just a decent QB? A Garrapolo? Carr? Cousins? All of a sudden they'd be in the wild card race again and then who knows. I can see that happening easily next season. Hope it doesn't.
People's tune would change back to love just as quickly. Fans, especially Pats fans, are mostly a fickle bunch. And they're in shock right now after being so spoiled.
Stidham sucked, so they took a desperate shot with Newton and that obviously sucked. They still won 6, maybe 7 games when all is said and done.
This season hasn't taken anything away from Belichick, IMO. He's the same ####### coach that we've all known, but people just don't want to put up with it when he's losing. His accomplishments are only marred by cheating. Not gonna blame him for having a great QB.
