He already has zero credibility and is a hack in the purest sense of the definition.
28 teams have not won the Super Bowl since spygate ended. Only the Giants, Steelers, Saints, and Packers have. Are those other 27 overrated?
well most people don't consider those other teams that good.
I disagree wtih him but it's up to the pats to prove him wrong. Going one and done in the playoffs isn't going to do it.
I dunno who Parker is either, and certainly my club is not dealing from a position of strength (understatement of the year lol), but when you lose back to back playoff games in your own building it's not a good sign. The Ravens loss reminds me a lot of Jax (with Means and Brunell) traveling to Orchard Park in January, and finishing off the 90's Bills, ending Kelly's career in the process.
I'm not trying to stir up trouble, I'm fully aware my team has great strides to make. I'm just sayin' that when a dominant team starts losing playoff games at home, especially when that home turf has been so sacred, it's prolly the beginning of the end.
With an incredibly young, yet talented, defense, Tom Brady at QB, BB as coach, Kraft as the owner and 8 million high draft choices, it "prolly" isn't the beginning of the end. Bill Belichick isn't Marv Levy, Bob Kraft isn't Ralph Wilson and, God knows, Tom Brady (3 SB wins) isn't Jim Kelly (3 SB losses).I dunno who Parker is either, and certainly my club is not dealing from a position of strength (understatement of the year lol), but when you lose back to back playoff games in your own building it's not a good sign.

You can live in the early 2000s and make snide remaks all you like. The point is, when you start losing playoff games in your own building, and it becomes a trend rather than an anomaly, your run is probably over.
Championship teams never lose at home in January.
Saying "the run" is over is a cop-out statement that makes the assertion that all championship teams are doomed to decline no matter what
Correct, except it's not a cop out. We are witnessing the decline of the Patriots right now, (and have been since 08) you are just choosing not to see it.
Believe me, it's really nice that they went 14-2 last year. I'm sure it's encouraging to have a lot of young talent on D. However, you can't expect to contend for titles when you can't win at home in January.
I mean really, the Jets did everything they could possibly do to set themselves up for failure, and still walked into to Foxboro and beat the Pats in their own building. That's not encouraging no matter how you choose to look at it.
This has nothing to do with January playoff games. Your true logic is that a team is in decline if they do not make the SB.
I guess I should have been more clear. A dynastic team like the Pats used to be is in decline if they don't make the SB and start losing at home in January. They are being measured against the standard they set for themselves is what I'm getting at.
Fair point about the Niners, and in that context I see you point more clearly.
