If he's still moping around about that then a lot of us have seriously misjudged him.He's been upset ever since the Mankins trade.

Sounds like a bad day of practice. O line is probably pissing him off.

Well, if he weren't beaten like a pineta for 3 straight weeks, I'd agree. The problem is belichick doesn't listen to anyone not named bill belichick, not even his star QB.
Revis said:One thing that has surprised Revis the most is how Belichick relates to his players. For some, the external view of Belichick is that he has his system and it is up to the players to mold themselves to it. Revis says that isn’t true.
What he’s learned is that Belichick is willing to listen to his players. If they think something else might work better, he’ll take their advice into consideration and perhaps implement it.
“Bill asks questions,” Revis said. “He'll ask questions, he'll try to get other people's insight, especially veterans. He'll sit down and have a conversation with you. I think that's why he's so genius at what he does. He's very smart, but at the same time he knows the pulse of the team."
Correct. Everyone knows, or should know that, as you say, "the problem is Belichick." You're entitled to your opinion, for sure.Well, if he weren't beaten like a pineta for 3 straight weeks, I'd agree. The problem is belichick doesn't listen to anyone not named bill belichick, not even his star QB.
Stop it right now. Don't let the truth interfere with incorrect popular opinion.There are numerous accounts of Belichick seeking advice and knowledge from anywhere he can find it. The Revis quote is very much in keeping with what many others have shared of their interactions with Belichick.

I understand your viewpoint. But, we really don't know if he spoke up when his pals were let go. We only know he didn't publicly. Tom Brady is my favorite player of all time and no one is a close second. With that said, running the team isn't his or any other player's role. I'd argue that part of the reason this has been the winningest franchise this century is that BB and Kraft don't involve players in decision-making, despite the fact that other teams clearly do. I'm sure that there are times when all players, Brady included, are displeased with team decisions. When that happens, they all need to make a quality of life decision and either stay or go.Brady has been a patriot team first player since day one. He never spoke up when they traded his number #1 in Branch and had crap receivers like Childress, Gabriel and Caldwell (BTW patriots would have 100% won the superbowl that year if they had Branch) He never spoke up when they traded Welker, even though restructured his own deal to free up cap space. He has done this more than once) and BB never provided him with an adequate replacement.
Now at age 37 they traded Mankins, he is getting his ass beat every game because the line is garbage and for the second year in a row he is left with unproven/weak receivers such as Lafell, Dobson and Thompkins. I don’t even have to mention that the part are like 10m under the salary cap. I am not going to sit here and feel bad for Brady since he has the life that every single one of us can only dream. Maybe Brady has reached a point where he is no longer happy the way this team is being run?
I hope he's not "Loosing feeling in his toes"He probably had to sit in an ice tub and heal all of the bruises that he's accumulated through the first three weeks of the season. You'd be a grouchy Gus too.

Branch breached his contract. If this board had it's way, Willie McGinest and Lawyer Milloy would still be playing. Is Mankins even healthy? I'm sure Tampa is going to be thrilled to pay him 5-8 million a year for the foreseeable future and I say good luck with that.
Oakland's holding on to those seasoned vets, how's that strategy working out?
