I don't like to think of the last 8 years as a "waste" as much as it is an "underachievement." The Pats have had major championship equity at least 3-4 times since their last Super Bowl ('06, '07, '11, '12) and came out with none. We can examine all of the Clay Matthews-esque missed draft picks that may have put them over the top, but they came close enough to win it all on their own merits enough times. Injuries certainly played a major part, but so did some horrible luck and some serious under-performance by our marquee players, including Tom. So I tend to blame the players more than the management here.
I just don't think BB and the FO made any huge errors that could have been foreseen that truly held this team back from more multiple Lombardis. They had their chances, they blew it, and sadly, Brady and BB's legacy will be as notable for their playoff failures as it was for their playoff successes. It is what it is.
