My only regret is that Stidham didn't have enough snaps to hit my 3 Interceptions in 1 qtr
It’s kinda like the Michael Jordan/Phil Jackson thing. MJ was phenomenal individually before Jackson took over the Bulls, but when he learned to play more of a team game during Jackson’s tenure, the championships started rolling in. When MJ played baseball the Bulls were still very good, but the aura of invincibility wasn’t there. Jackson also won 5 more titles with Kobe, Shaq and the Lakers. Good apart, better together. Problem is Belichick left himself completely without any talent on this year’s team.Soo now he isn't arguably the greatest coach in NFL history or top 5 all time? I mean.. do we all realize great players have great coaches..great coaches have great players and great teams have both?
I am not surprised that you would disagree, because you almost always do. No need to respond either, I am pretty sure you will call me an idiot or something like that.Sorry, but this idea that Belichick did no planning is just ridiculous. Your claims that he was "just making it up as he goes" is more like what your post is showing than actual reality.
- Belichick clearly focused on having an O-line that could run the ball and made sure we had the RBs to do so. Hence his drafting 2 last year and 2 this year AND franchising Thuney. His having Michel, Harris, Burkhead, and Taylor is clear forethought on his part.
- Belichick brought in young TEs who would GROW with this team in Keene and Asiasi. Far too many are already giving up on them despite them being rookies and the entire Covid mess. Izzo is actually playing decently.
- Belichick started rebuilding receivers last year. Harry, Meyers and Olszewski are works in progress. Again, YOUNG players that far too many are giving up on already because they look at the "greener' grass of other teams while ignoring that this team's offense is significantly more complex than other teams offenses because of what it requires receivers to do both pre and post snap.
The Patriots clearly liked what they had seen in Stidham. They figured he needed some more seasoning which is why they brought in Cam. The Pats clearly THOUGHT they could Maximize Cam's strengths and minimize his weaknesses while Stidham got better. And they seemed to do that the 1st three weeks. Cam has since imploded. Today, he showed me that ONE player screwing up time and again could actually lose a game for a team. Cam was SOLELY responsible for every series ending prematurely in the 1st half. I don't remember Marc Wilson or Scott Secules ever being that bad.
I mean seriously. Brady doesnt get a chance to win if BB doesnt field a defense which keeps the rams to 17. Its easy to bag on the coach when the other part of the team isnt there. but at least make a valid point. Brady deserves all the credit in the SB36 but dont tell me it was just Brady. Not to mention BB kept brady with 3 other QBs and dint start Bledsoe even after the AFCCG. Suddenly people calling BB dumb or average is ridiculous . Its 1 yr . not even a normal yr.He's a good coach but Brady allowed him to create a system that worked. Without Brady, he probably doesn't win the first superbowl. Belichick just doesn't currently have the answer to this puzzle. He might never figure out for this season.

Stidham is an INTERCEPTION machine, as I said many months ago.

Steve. I’m obviously having a piss at you. But I think it is time some Patriots fans do need to reflect that we had a Jordan esque playerwho is your next coach ?
This fanbase doesn't deserve this team TBH. They bag on everyone just a little adversity hits.Soo now he isn't arguably the greatest coach in NFL history or top 5 all time? I mean.. do we all realize great players have great coaches..great coaches have great players and great teams have both?

I think bringing in Cam was a mistake. They built up Stidham all offseason after Brady left, all the way until training camp was ready to open. Once training camp opens, Stidham is getting 2nd or 3rd team snaps, doesn’t even dress for the 1st few games. That had to mess with Stidham’s head. and NOW, if you bench Cam, the team may be in worse shape mentally than it already is.Yes its true. BB misjudged the whole Brady situation and I can forgive him for that. What is less forgiveable is the complete lack of planning for transitioning to life without Brady. It seems that BB was just making it up as he went along this year and unfortunately, it shows.
Reflection will do what ? Win us games ? We can do that any time watching millions of games from the past. how is that helping the current team ? Or we just reflect and give up and gang up to chuck the coach since he cant win without a good QB which it seems every coach in the nfl does - win with bad QB play.Steve.

Soooo true. Man do you know how much I hate hearing jet fans or bb fans talk about this fan base and how much they will jump ship as soon as crap looks bad.This fanbase doesn't deserve this team TBH. They bag on everyone just a little adversity hits.
The defense also hideously bad. Don’t embarrass yourself by making excuses for them.You'd look awful too if you'd spent 18 of 23 game minutes on the field in the first half because you're QB put up a S**T show that makes Jetes QBs look good.
Jet fans? Jet fans?Soooo true. Man do you know how much I hate hearing jet fans or bb fans talk about this fan base and how much they will jump ship as soon as crap looks bad.
