I think if this team doesn't show significant progress despite the record, I think it is time to blow it up including the coaching and front office. We don't need two more years of mediocrity after this one to get Belichick the record for wins.
I know people think that Belichick should be allowed to retire on his terms, but we as fans shouldn't have to suffer through three more seasons of crap for him to get the record if he is just willing to be a middle of the pack team with no hopes of getting to the Super Bowl. Next offseason would be the smart time to make a switch since the Pats will have tons of cash and have to make the decision to commit to Mac Jones long term. No use having Belichick continue to build this roster if he isn't going to make them a contender again.
I do really question whether he lost his fast ball or he is as committed to winning over other priorities as he used to be. Hopefully he will prove me wrong this year and this is a playoff team. But if they tread water or regress this season, it is time to move on.
