I know. You were engaging in nothing more than theory crafting. People are a bit on edge right now because we just traded away what everyone thought was our transition guy, so questions about The End and when it might be coming are a bit of a tender topic right now until we have another obvious plan in place.I have absolute reverence. The point of the thread was to ask whether we might want to consider Belichick leaving/being forced out before Brady. It is taken for granted that Brady will be the first one to leave/retire, but I wanted to switch things up by considering things from this opposite perspective.
Alas, I must have made another whoopsie by asking the wrong type of question.
Many of you laughed at my Brady thread and, in retrospect, much of that was deserved. Who knows and honestly who cares.
Anyway, when it comes to analyzing the Patriots, it is easy to look at the Brady situation and wonder when his sharp decline -- and ensuing Patriots decline -- will occur. What never gets brought up in these discussions is when Bill Belichick's decline will occur. We're talking about a 65 year old man who will inevitably lose a mental step at some point (or has been slowly without us noticing). He is the greatest coach of all time, but even the GOAT (coach, player, mascot) will reach a point of decline where the next guy up can do a slightly better job.
The point of this thread, in light of the ESPN nonsense, is to consider whether we are nearing the point where we're better off with a Patricia or McDaniels as head coach rather than sticking with Belichick. It's been taken for granted that Brady will be gone before Belichick, but could Belichick leaving before Brady be a legitimate course of action rather than our greatest fear realized?
I think we have seen plenty of evidence at this point that the best thing for the patriots would be for you to stop pretending to be a fan and making moronic posts on this board.Many of you laughed at my Brady thread and, in retrospect, much of that was deserved. Who knows and honestly who cares.

XFL, banish it to ganggreen forumsPractice squad? Banish this to the XFL...
Then it would have to scribble on a ****tail napkin “I resign as a thread of the nyj”XFL, banish it to ganggreen forums
I watched the end of SB49 and SB51 and then the video of Falcons fans reacting to 28-3. It made me feel warm inside.
There really wasn't a need to go there, AJ. What he's doing isn't hurting anyone.I think we have seen plenty of evidence at this point that the best thing for the patriots would be for you to stop pretending to be a fan and making moronic posts on this board.
He’s a troll.There really wasn't a need to go there, AJ. What he's doing isn't hurting anyone.
I can't imagine that room after that.What the hell kind of Super Bowl party were they at? Very weird.
Then why are you feeding him? By your own admission, you're dealing with this "troll" with tactics tailor made to encourage actual trolls to keep stirring the pot.He’s a troll.
I think I'll worry about that man's mind when that man stops being able to achieve 13-3 with a front 7 literally built off the scrap heap.
While the Patriots are still radically outproducing their own on-paper capabilities is an odd time to be talking about the performance of their head coach in any terms other than absolute reverence.

Not feeding him at all. Just pointing out the guy who rips greats about how they play/coach football is a terrible poster and makes moronic posts.Then why are you feeding him? By your own admission, you're dealing with this "troll" with tactics tailor made to encourage actual trolls to keep stirring the pot.
Either way, your post was actually more useless than the OP. At least that got us talking. Your post doesn't even do that.
That’s ridiculous.On paper the Patriots were better than the team that went 14-2 last season. One lose being literally 1 yard from going to overtime vs a good Seattle team, and one lose being with their broken 3rd string QB. People expected 16-0. The team underachieved.
I asked a legit question about Belichick versus Brady leaving the Patriots first. Just because you don't like the reality of football and life being that things must end, doesn't make what I said trolling. Controversial... yes. But here just to pretend... no.He’s a troll.
