Is there hope for PatsFans???

I like a few of the players, and team chemistry seems pretty good at times, but this is a very weak team with no quarterback. This will take at least two years, and, whatever Bill's undoubted gameday skills as coach might be, I am not convinced that Bill-as-gm is up to the job. With continued failure, his "I'm the alpha and the omega" shtick is gonna start wearing thin, and he'll suffer as a coach as well. Arrogance doesn't go down well unless you're so powerful in your success that you can get away wtih it. A losing Bill becomes a weak Bill.

It may be longer than two years, and it may be under a different coach.

Letting Gronk and Tom go - encouraging them to go, really - was a bad mistake, possibly a fatal one careerwise. Add wasting a full year with Useless Cam to the mix. Add multiple dismally failed draft years. Quite possibly, Bill no longer deserves the job.

One year of failing to make the postseason is too much pain for me to handle.

I'm devastated and am giving up following sports.

Try me.

I'm serious. I am making an open wager:

If I have not quit this site by Inauguration day I will pay everyone $1000. I give this wager my @Triumph Guarantee*







*I won't pay if I don't like the outcome.

Is there hope for Patriots fans or Patsfans.com? Because the later is probably hopeless at this point

I'm good

While it is true that I am old, I hope I have a few more years left.

This.. a losing bill is gonna be a weak bill..the persona will take a hit.. and Bill might be forced to make some immediate changes which are detrimental in long term... playing cam continuously was one of those decisions...

Its not going to be easy for bill..
