It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Thank you Thank you so much for pointing out what has been wrong with this team. This is a talent driven league more than EVER. The scheme's and systems that worked 10schemes ago NO LONGER WORK. Its the reason fans,analyst's, commentator's, and even former patriot Superbowl standout's are saying the game may have passed Bill by. Its the reason we never hear the end of spygate. Because people say his system/schemes that worked 3 times in a 4 year span hasn't won a championship in 10 years and counting. The offense has continuously taken steps backward when in AFC or Superbowl championship games. His defense Has consistently ranked last or near last. It has become more of a passing league and will continue to do so. Meaning playmaking wrs and passrushers take on more importance every passing year. Bills offense continuously features WRs who can't make plays on their own athletically while other offenses are consistently adding playmakers and improving while our offense is standing still. We have consistently got our by++$ kicked every year in the playoffs. Same weaknesses every year,WRs shut down and ZERO pass rush.
Bills failed draft picks was the result of drafting players who can be put in his scheme the quickest/easiest. Drafting players semi coached up schemewise and ignoring the idea of checking to be sure they have the talent to play in the NFL. The Rutgers picks, before that Florida picks and High tower whom was coached up by Sagan has been far outperformed by 4 LBs drafted after him who are more explosive and far better in coverage. Bill has drafted on talent more often recently. I hear there is a book out there that makes him look VERY bad for ignoring his scouts Warning's before he drafted his picks as well as warnings on semi-coached up players who lacked talent to play in the NFL. His scouts were right every they tried to warn him on busts like Merriweather,Maroney,Wheatley,price,Jackson, spikes,among many others. Bill seems to notice he needs playmakers at passrusher and WR. I had just heard about the freakish specimen Dominique Easley was like a week before the draft from some former college players at the gym. When I saw the pick I was shocked and excited. I was hoping to get him in the second but was excited still. A freakishly disruptive passrusher. Physical improvements from Jones,refinement from Zach Moore and just 10 lbs of muscle on Collins and this defense can and will finally consistently harass QBs. Himutower 10-15 lbs lighter may become the standout lb finally of his draft.
Saying a player needs to add some muscle/power or drop a couple lbs for Speed/Quickness is hardly a knock on a player guys. First off if he is alreadypotenguys good player it means he is one of the guys with vast untapped Potential/Talent. Many players are drafted every year with confidence he has great potential. OT's are drafted top 5 every year with hopes he adds muscle/power because the team knows he can do great things with a little work. Same with passrushers. Talented explosive passrushers who needs 10-20 lbs of muscle to reach his elite status/play the team drafting him believes he can be, are drafted top 5 every year. (Dion Jordan, Mingo,Aldon Smith, our own Collins) So its no knock,its a compliment. BTW imho Collins has more potential than Jordan and Mingo. And I don't want want to see HighTower outperformed by guys selected after him due to lacking burst/quick feet needed at LB. He has more potential than them guys bragged about outperforming him.
To all you people bringing up how much team trainers know more than me. So what,I hope they do. I hope they can motivate/train them to reach their max physical ability. For the record although I have paid to learn from renowned trainer/nutritionist and been told to pursue it,I'm not interested. I just know when a player has elite potential or vast ability they can reach. Hopefully team trainers/professionals help them reach it. IMHO one of reasons Browner was signed was to share with teammates what improving physical power/quickness can do to help them. As gaining power/speed through leaning out took him from cfl to NFL pro bowl. He will share that with his new teammates.
Plenty of teams have picked towards the bottom for a few years running, very few have done what Dallas subsequently did.

In the 10 years since Belichick has failed to win a Super Bowl, half the NFL could not even make it TO a Superbowl.
He got us there twice.
We went 18-1 and lost that Superbowl by 3 points. 3 points from perfect season marred only by a miracle catch that was voted the greatest super bowl play of all time by ESPN.
We lost the second Super Bowl by 4 points... during a f'ing rebuilding year.
The Broncos lost theirs 43-8.
I'm sorry to the people that disagree with this opinion, but for you to come in here after everything you've said previously and to write this garbage about how the game has passed Belichick by -my God, not even Florio or Borges is saying this kind of crap and they're just salivating for the opportunity to do so- it all adds up to you being a troll.
Thats just my opinion, taken everything you've said together, whether its done consciously or not -I don't know or much care.
I never said he was decent, I said he was very solid. I also never said the 08 team was "weak".
I have said that plenty of success attributed to BB is due to Brady, I also think that BB the coach often bails out BB the GM.
Belichick is the GM, he hired Belichick the coach and chose Brady the Player. Both great moves, he deserves all the credit for them.
The Patriots gave Belichick full control of football operations, he could fire Belichick the coach or force him to resign any time he wants. He is however, loyal to both Brady the QB and Belichick the coach, good for him. Works for me.

My goodness, man. WTF! What a way to start the day. Blessed with another massive manifesto from the Patfans version of the Unibomber. Not very well thought out, misinformed, overly long (and believe me I KNOW about going overly long ) and most importantly....all about you. Once again you try to put YOUR knowledge about physical training into the forefront of the post.Thank you Thank you so much for pointing out what has been wrong with this team.

I posted the same article about 3 pages back and it did not help this “biggest stick” contest continued.
The Patriots draft well, they make mistakes, but overall they have been the most successful team drafting in the past decade.
