The New England Patriots announced that they have elevated DB Myles Bryant, OL James Ferentz, OL Alex Redmond and OL Will Sherman to the active roster. In addition, the Patriots placed OL Trent Brown on injured reserve.
This game is gonna be ugly.
I think you're right, but I have this nagging little hope they might just decide to air it out a little and, if they can discourage the Texans early enough and deeply enough, maybe roll a little. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble making out the faces of the O-line in my dream. They look suspiciously like linemen long-retired or gone.
LOL. I know. That's my glitch. This is how I think during the ****tail hour.Air it out? Will Mac be able to take more than a 3 step drop without being hit?

At the time that decision was made there was no Mac. Bill assumed Brady was done and he wasn’t. He figured Brady was like any 40+ year old QB and didn’t realize or chose not to that if there’s one once in a lifetime exception to that it’s Brady.
Losing AB was the last strawPeople forget how badly Brady played for Brady in 2019. He looked like the end was nearing back then. We have the benefit of hindsight from his production last year to know now that was just poor talent around him and Brady not putting in the effort in anymore because he was unhappy with his situation. But since 2007 when started to put up production as a modern era QB, 2019 was either his worst or second worst year in terms yards, TDs, completion percentage, and yards per attempt.
There is a reason why teams were not falling over each other to sign Brady when he got free and the Bucs had little or no competition for him. Belichick wasn't the only one who thought Brady may be hitting the age wall.
I don't think Belichick just said that the guy was 41 and he is bound to break down at any time now. There were actually clear signs that he was breaking down. Unfortunately, they didn't have to do with his age and more about his motivation and talent around him.

*Edit: But refs stealing HFA w/bye in Foxborough and giving it to the Sheaths knocked us out
People exaggerate how badly Brady played in 2019. And many didn't need hindsight to see that the problem was the talent around him. In fact, many spent much of the season, particularly in the second half of the season, saying just that. Those people remembered 2013, and could see that they were witnessing a similar situation.People forget how badly Brady played for Brady in 2019. He looked like the end was nearing back then.

From what i remember the o line sucked in '19, thats when it started and continued to this day, Brady didn't have time to throw just like jones doesn't now.People forget how badly Brady played for Brady in 2019.

Onwenu should've been our starting RT from Week One, and Wynn/Lose our starting LG. Who knows, maybe Trent Brown & His Calf of Renown doesn't injure himself during the Seventh snap of the Season if he had been starting on the Left side...
