No way he steps down and let's someone else coach that team while he is still around the building. Also, would be an incoherently stupid move by Ole Rub N Tug to keep Bill in the building with a new staff around. Its time for Kraft and Bill to mutually agree to part ways because the franchise needs a reset. Its now glaringly obvious that Brady was the Patriot Way and Belichick is who everyone thought he was a great Defensive Coordinator who got very lucky to get the real GOAT in his prime. With all of the winning he has done for them I can't see the Pats firing him even if Brady was the main reason they won. Bill might retire anyway. He is around 70 and doesn't need the money.

Mac Jones was already falling to the ground prior to the stiff arm like it was WWE Wrestling and he knew he was being set up for a move. Patriot Radio broadcast of the play hahahahahahahahahaha Pats fans are starting to realize what everyone was telling them...Mac Jones was made by McDaniels scheme. And he wasn't even that good to begin with even inthat. https://www.patsfans.com/new-england-patriots/messageboard/threads/mac-jones-draft-scouting-report-weaknesses-ring-true.1159867/ That forum has a lot of threads, but I did luck into one that made me believe that 'Matt Patricia Patriots 2022' is analogous to 'Rob Ryan Bills 2016'. Not at football coaching skills, it's regarding being banned from 'all you can eat' buffets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say what you will about Jim Rome. He grates on peoples nerves with his glossary and his arrogant snarky wiseguy know it all schtick. And I get it. I myself can only take him in small doses. But what I will say is that in this case he ROASTED belichick here to a crisp . Much to the Bills faithfuls' delight, he Torches him OMGoodness ..in his own vernacular that was "an epic Blast" Insert any other burn references I have failed to mention.

I dont think he has much of an identity outside of being a football coach. I do agree the Kraft family owes him better than straight out firing him, but its obvious the team is going nowhere. They probably wont bottom out but I cant see them being more than 3rd or 4th in the division for the foreseeable future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldnt surprise me in the least to see him try and bring Brady or Garropolo back this offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's my compassionate side too. I had had to stop watching Rome half way through... Started feeling sorry for Meyers. People, especially people like Rome gotta be careful. Humans can only take so much ridicule. People kill themselves over ***** like this! 😬😬😬 Let it go Rome...

Mac just sitting there dejected after being stiff-armed. MacCorkle probably felt like this before the last play. His line for the game was: 13/31 for 112 yds. 3.6YPA, no TDs No INTs, 52.1 Rating. 4 Rushes for 10 yds. Oh yeah, after the last play, 1 missed tackle! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad the game ending play is limiting the focus on his poor performance , overall. But the play (and his “planting”) are well worth it.

Charles Romes Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I think labeling this play the most embarrassing of all time is overstating it a tad. We have all seen this last play overhand lateral sequence thousands of times (one very famous one against the bills). However, this is the first time any one of us through thousands of plays has seen the overhand lateral picked off for a TD. It was perceived as a relatively low risk move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupidest play in NFL history and it happened on the GOAT’s watch. Beautiful. And “planting Mac Jones into the center of the earth” is laugh out loud funny 3 hours ago, PromoTheRobot said: I think you're right to use the word eulogy. People have been waiting for Belichick to resurrect the Patriots post-Brady as if it was something written in the stars. But instead everything the Hoodie did made the team worse, leading up to this final tombstone moment for his coaching tenure. I can't see Bill surviving this. But then again I could see him bring Brady back at 46 thinking he could rekindle the magic. It's his 'Bill Buckner moment' and puts him squarely in the 'Hall of (B)ill Repute'. Love. It. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is probably the biggest problem with the Patriots, letting your hall of fame coach be the GM as well...which he's terrible at. I think Belichick's dog really is making the picks.
