Yup. Pats lost by 3 too because Bill passed up a 49 yard field goal. It’s not like it was 59. I mean... you really don’t trust your kicker to hit one from 49? I’m sure he wasn’t hurt. Why is he active then? And it wasn’t like 4th and 3, it was 4th and THIRTEEN. Crazy.
Analyzing Belichick's Insane Decision Not To Kick
Of all the oddities during Super Bowl XLII, the one that might stick, and the one that might hurt the reputation of Patriots coach Bill Belichick the most, was his decision to go for it instead of sending kicker Stephen Gostkowski out for a 49-yard field goal. That doesn't look good when you...deadspin.com
I will defend Bill’s coaching in a debate but I definitely don’t think he’s perfect. Far from it.
The same disease spreads in just about every team hierarchy and fan base when the team is losing, though it usually takes a few years, not just one. We're not use to it because it's been since 2000 that we had a losing season
People need to relax. It was a subpar year after losing the GOAT QB. If we're still racking up 7-9 seasons in 2-3 years, i can understand. Emotions are running wild after 20 years of supremacy.
Sure. But it can be both who are responsible , no ? why take sides ?
Hopefully a better QB next year solves a lot of problems.
That and getting another legitimate weapon, or two. Nothing at TE and our best WR being a mid 30s Edelman coming off a big injury screams STACK THE BOX.
Yup. Seeing other teams play goal line against us at the 50 yard line is an embarrassment. I hope we never see that again
I think most reasonable people would say neither side would have had anywhere near the success without the other but those people seem to get drowned out by the two camps of "Bill rode Brady's coattails" and "Brady wouldn't have done anything if Bill didn't draft him". I don't think it is unreasonable to lean towards one side or the other being more responsible but to go too far one way or the other just gets ridiculous.
I'm a chicken downer (I love that stuff) and I used to really enjoy little debbies (the snack was good too).

It's not the whole board, although that would be nice. And it's not just one season either. Belichick is a sloppy GM and has been for much of his tenure in New England. Generally he got away with it because Brady was good enough to tip the scale back in their favor. However, it would catch up with the team intermittently... 2006 (Reche Caldwell, Doug Gabrielle & Chad Jackson), 2013 (Dobson, Boyce & Thompkins) and of course 2020 (post-Brady Newton debacle). The only person he's ever fully taken care of salary-wise is himself apparently. Stephen and Brian.
Do you want him fired tommorow ? Is yes who you want as his replacement ?
