I have little doubt that he's ready to cut ties and try to show the world that he can do it w/ Stidham, or anyone. I'm loving it. That team looked terrible yesterday - they're old, and losing a bunch of good players & coaches this offseason. At long last, it seems like they are headed for a lengthy (and hopefully frustrating) rebuild. You can turnover a roster pretty quick in todays nfl. Just look at Baltimore.

I've seen cycles where either the Bruins or Celtics were bad and their arena was a morgue. With the Sox they are thick and thin. I lived there for three years, including the first super bowl. I'd argue it's a hockey town too, they play a great college hockey tournament every year that people get fired up over. But yeah, that playoff win vs the Raiders and subsequent run took everyone by surprise. Nobody gave a crap about the Patriots before that, except for a very few. Today, everyone claims to have been a diehard Pats fan since 1776, yet they can't name any players prior to 2000 not named Bledsoe. 1 1

They've only won 1 title in the past 30 years. Sox fans were basically Bills fans for 100 years. I can't rue them their success over the past 2 decades. But that's probably over now. Well, there is no denying Bill Russell.
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 All 3 of these guys must have egos the size of Gillette stadium. How would it be possible that both Brady and Belichick wouldn’t want to prove they can win without the other? They have to want to break free and win on their own? Don’t they? What else do they have to prove?

People keep saying that, but it isnt true. They tried signing jimmy g to a bridge deal but he turned it down. They couldnt get rid of brady because it would have been a 17 million cap hit. Trading garrapolo was really the only option. 3 minutes ago, Success said: Yeah, but the Pats probably won't. It's been a nice long run, but last night felt like they closed the book. Why wouldnt they. They have a pretty good amount of picks. 40 mill in cap space. BB has retooled the roster with less.

BB the drafter does not scare me, one bit. The rest of the AFCE is catching up fast. I don't see the Patriots winning that division in the years ahead. 1

Not sure about that.BB could win the afce on coaching alone. Not worried about Gase or McDermott. Flores on the other hand might be one to watch out for.

Some very poor-gameplanning overall, and some of the in-game decisions are headscratchers. Nah....it's over. Good run, though. Enjoy the DVD's. 4

qwksilver Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Hopefully they lose another draft pick or 2 for the Cincinnati filming. To make it even more difficult. 1

Fixxxer Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 they will toss Brady to the side like he's nothing and I won't care one bit.
Success Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Ya know, lost in all of the giddy celebration about the Pats demise is the fact that the most obnoxious opposing player in my lifetime had the choke play of the year by dropping that 3rd down pass from Brady - which was right on the #'s. Nice goin', Edelman. Made the evening that much more glorious. 1 1 1
