So this explains your **** attitude. You have no clue what it's like to root for a bad team.
Sure I do. I rooted for the Patriots before BB showed up. I root for other teams in other sports that have been bad. Crazy, huh? Other sports exist outside of pro football and the Patriots. It’s wild. Oh, and I rooted for the Patriots last year.
You've been spoiled by the greatest coach in the history of the league. The guy who chose the 6th round draft pick over the first overall pick franchise qb. And I know your balls were still dropping back then, but it was actually a big debate whether or not to bench Brady when Bledsoe returned. The boomer versions of you (Belichick bashers) were licking their lips ready to tear him apart for choosing the young guy.
Also, when you were jizzing all over yourself during the Ravens win, you must have got some in your eyes to not notice that playoffs were still a possibility at that point.
Yes or no - did you, at any point in that season, think the team was capable of making a run to the Super Bowl? At best, you’ll have to admit you agree with me. At worst, I’ll get a good laugh. In reality, you probably won’t answer this.
Perhaps the Brady tears mixed with the jizz made you blind to the fact that had they beaten the Texans, they'd be 7-4 after week 13 and a real shot at division or wc.
They had no shot outside of a far-fetched mathematical possibility of winning the division. The Bills were ahead of us and already owned the tiebreaker. They’d have had to wet themselves down the stretch which, given their schedule, wasn’t happening. At that point, they were 2-5. At that point, Cam was the worst starting QB in the league by any measure. At that point, he had thrown 2 TDs to 7 INTs in a QB-friendly league. At that point, the defense showed no signs of being able to stop the run. This team was clearly going nowhere. Those wins were completely worthless. If by some miracle they happened to get into the playoffs, and they were officially eliminated before the final week of the season, they would have gotten their cheeks clapped right off the bat.
And obviously they lost to the Texans, but the scrub Newton only threw for 365 yards that game.
But yes, the team did go on to eventually miss the playoffs and it was a shell of a team by the final game but the GOAT coach still showed the team there is no giving up.
Rather than the loser mentality of having professional athletes throw games so they can hope for a QB, he had them play until the end.
You need to go back to elementary school and take some reading comprehension classes. I’m sure the kids would be confused as to why someone who looks like he’s nearly deceased is in there with them. Parents may complain that a man resembling a pedophile is on campus. But it would be good for you. At no point in time did I suggest that they “throw games.” Pro teams and athletes don’t do that. Anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot. I suggested, and have been suggesting, that they did what Miami and Flores did merely a near earlier - cut bait by trading expensive and alluring aging pieces for draft picks, play the kids, go through the growing pains, up their draft position, and take an inventory of what they have at the end of the season. They didn’t do that. Now we’re in purgatory when it comes to the QB position while Miami is stacked with first round picks and is in a position to build their roster into a juggernaut.
Reasons like that are why he's a winner and the GOAT, and why you're just some Bradystan who clearly doesn't know his ass from his elbow when it comes to football.
This is comedy gold. A “Bradystan?” What the hell does that even mean? I arrived here a month after you did. And, you may forgive me for saying this, but I’ve shown throughout my history on this board that I’ve forgotten more about football than you’ll ever know. Feel free to point me to a post of yours where you break down film, formations, tendencies, gap assignments, routes, coverages, blocking schemes, etc? You probably won’t be able to do that because those posts don’t exist. You probably don’t have a clue of what you’re looking at on the field which is why this post is one big appeal to authority. I’d say you don’t know your ass from your elbow, but I have a feeling that I’d confuse your ass and your face if I actually saw you.
You seem to have some pent up personal issue with me, judging by the angry tenor of your posts. This is either because you’re likely a fan of the man (BB) before you’re a fan of the laundry or because, deep down, you know I’m actually right on this one. In light of this news, break down the positives of those wins and the negatives. You’ll see that the negatives far outweigh the positives. I hope that whatever is going on in your life gets better.
