The Blame Thread - Offense/Defense/Coaching/Brady - New England Patriots Forums

**Ian** · 12-06-2009, 05:44 PM

For the sake of keeping this place from looking like it's melting down, let's restrict this discussion to this one thread until at least tomorrow. Please place your vote in the above poll, and once everyone calms down and we can have a rational discussion about each of these areas maybe I'll be a little easier to get along with at that point...but right now it's just madness on here.

I don't blame everyone for being disappointed - but let's try and keep this place somewhat sane. Otherwise it's going to be an even longer week.

So here's how this will work: please restrict yourself to ONE POST in this thread of where you feel the problem is with this team, along with why you feel that way. I will post a new thread on the forum for each category based on the BEST RESPONSES in this thread to start discusssions so we can break it down further.

Can we have an all of the above option?

I blame my ex-wife...she burned my lucky Pats cap three years ago and it's been downhill ever since!!

Coaching..

offense and Defense are getting outplayed in the second half by a large margin and I think it's the coaching..

This poll points the finger at offense if coaching isn't a selection. I would wager that many of those who chose coaching weren't blaming Belichick but the people under him.

Yeah, I would go with that answer too. It is too simplistic to point to one area. There are enough things wrong with this team right now to blame solely on the offense, defense, Brady, or the coaching.

But if I had to pick one, I would pick the coaching because it covers both sides of the ball.

All of the above

I'm blaming you Ian ... you are to blame.

Pees and O'Brien are trying to keep up with all the suggestions here and now they are lost.

If this site did not exist then they could just listen to Bill ... instead of learning on the job here.

Seriously ... there must be a JAG OUT THERE WHO CAN REPLACE KACZUR.

He could go 50 yards backwards if the play lasted longer ... he is the ultimate wimp.

Coaching and D for the Season, all of the above today

You can also elaborate on what you feel is wrong, and I'd even love to hear a few people talk about what they would do to correct the issues. Let's make this a really good thread with constructive breakdowns of each area.
