Personally I feel like they will be very competitive in 2026 and 2027 Loads of cap space for free agents, picking 4th in every round this year and an Excellent IMHO head coach - Whom I hate for his OBVIOUS music city ‘miracle’ kickoff lateral a few years back in TN. And now they have both Josh (I’ve learned how to cheat from the best) Daniels along with Everyone’s Fav Saint Doug. The rivalry is (soon to be) back. Should be better than the Jests and likely better than the Phins before long. Bring it Patsies! The 2025 Patriots coaching staff: Mike Vrabel: Head Coach Josh McDaniels: Offensive Coordinator Thomas Brown: Tight Ends/Passing Game Coordinator Doug Marrone: Offensive Line Jason Houghtaling: Assistant Offensive Line Robert Kugler: Assistant Offensive Line Todd Downing: Wide Receivers Tony Dews: Running Backs Ashton Grant: Quarterbacks Riley Larkin: Offensive Assistant Chuckie Keeton: Offensive Assistant What you think? Sooo........they're not planning on playing any defense next season? Quote

He's the best practice player, pre-season player, meaningless game player you'll ever see. He's big, strong, fast, and has a cannon for an arm. By all accounts, he's a good kid. This is why he was drafted. His teammates at Michigan, before his first start, said in the press that Milton was going to go #1 overall in the NFL draft. He's also just not accurate and able to process information fast enough to be successful in pressure-packed, meaningful games. He had and lost the starting job at Michigan. He had and lost the starting job at Tennessee. That's why he was drafted in the 6th round. I could see him winning a QB competition against Maye, then being replaced 2 or 3 games into his tenure as a starter. Other than the fact that he plays for the Patriots, a rival of the Bills, I have nothing against the kid. I hope he goes to the NFC and becomes a star. But I've seen this script play out before. Milton played great against the Bills in the final game of the season, when the Bills were resting starters and the Patriots were supposed to lose the game to secure the #1 overall draft pick. Not wanting the rival Patriots to have the #1 overall pick, the Bills made sure to lose that game. I didn't follow closely, but besides playing a number of backups, I assume the Bills defense was pretty vanilla (pre-season style) in that game. Others can correct me if I'm wrong. Sounds like you're describing Josh Allen's start, no? 1 Quote

If he can figure it all out and learn how to turn it on, he's going to be a handful for AFC teams. I think he's a little ways out yet, but he does have the potential to be a legit threat and regardless of what people say, he's not a Mac and Cheese 2.0........he's got way more tools in his belt. Would you have preferred Jayden Daniel’s or Bo Nix? Quote

Did you just take a look at the roster ... by chance? Brandon Gibson and Brandon Lloyd were #1 and 2 WRs. That team was a dumpster fire and clearly nearing their end in STL. Not all things are linear. I don't think McDaniels is a great HC but he did go to the play offs with Tim Tebow. Of course, he wore out his welcome shortly after but the guy can coach ball. He has a few SB rings to prove it. Of course I looked. The roster wasn't any better in 2010 with Pat Shurmur calling the plays and Bradford won ROY. Roster was similar in 2011, and he absolutely sucked under McDaniels. Then he magically returned to a similar level of play with Brian Schottenheimer calling the plays in 2012 and was off to a torrid start with Schottenheimer in 2013 as well. He was throwing to Amendola, Lloyd and Gibson then. If you want to assert that Amendola was the difference between McDaniels having success with Bradford or not, go for it... He's been a Head Coach twice and was fired before even completing his second season, BOTH TIMES. He was also not renewed after 1 season in St. Louis. There's clearly a pattern here - he has been a disaster without Belichick. I'm not saying he's a bumbling fool, just that he has not proven to be good without Belichick. "I don't think McDaniels is a great HC but he did go to the play offs with Tim Tebow." Did you just take a look at the roster ... by chance? 🤣🤣🤣 He drafted Tim Tebow and then couldn't figure out how to use him, he never got run as the starter with McDaniels. McDaniels started his Broncos career 6-0 and then proceeded to go 5 - 17 and then followed that up with a Raiders tenure where he went 9 - 16. Even though you're not saying he's great, based on his track record, it's criminal you even used "great" and "head coach" in the same sentence when referencing McDaniels. Let's not forget his absolute clown show backing out of Indianapolis job in the 11th hour and after having already hired staff there. Edited February 7 by JGMcD2 Quote

EDIT: just to add to this... in both of his HC stops he arrived at teams with viable Quarterbacks. Not top 10 guys, no stars, but Jay Cutler and Derek Carr were legit NFL starters. In both spots he fell out with them, traded them, and then got worse at the position. Edited February 7 by GunnerBill 2 1 Quote
