I expected the Pats to lose but that was a complete foundational failure. Like who should even come back next year in a perfect world? I’ve been down on the Pats all year because I figured they were a 9-10 win team from the start and then people got too dumb when they got to 9-4 and it was so frustrating because there were flashing red lights everywhere.

Anyway go Bucs

The Pats peaked too soon. This season seemed a lot like 2019 for me. In fact, it seems that whenever the Pat's don't end the last 5-6 weeks of the season strong, they don't go very far.

I even remember in the 2007 season. They were steam rolling all comers. Then it started getting harder to win. When they almost lost to the Giants in the last game, I took it as a warning sign as they were weaker at the end of the season over the beginning.

Hope Tom can put us in a good mood again. Lol

Maybe pudgy will just send the 2020 edition that never made it to print.

Anyway, get ready for some super angry, insecure Belichick “Patriots” fans to clog up this thread in the coming weeks as they invent reasons why Brady/posters here have ruined the team.

Maybe I’ll turn on the TV and see was AB signed just prior to the game? Make it happen, Bucs.

He’s changed…he’s a new man now.

What's really interesting is Bill didn't even seem all that upset post game. Something strange is going on over there right now. The end of the season speaks to a much bigger fracture I think. I don't know what happened over the bye week but something big happened I believe with the coaches and that's why you saw the team literally implode. That does not happen out of nowhere. That is very jet-like and very unPatriot like. I'm sure we'll get some answers in the coming months but I'd be very interested to see what Kraft has to say as well.

One more quick note on the Patriots. I remember back in 2020 and Eric Mangini was being asked about what would happen if Brady left the Patriots. And he talked about Brady being a force multiplier and all the things he does off of the field to make the team a success.

We all understand he's the greatest leader in team sport history but what does that really mean or even look like? I think we got some answers this past month with the Patriots and what a player like Brady really does for a team that is facing adversity. It began to dawn on me how often that man pulled this team and it's coaches most likely out of the gutter and literally willed them to wins that they had no business winning.

That's the QB/person that Bill didn't want anymore. Sickening.

And his reward for all of that was to be sent away over a few dollars and be ridiculed by many of the fans here. One of them even mocked him as Temperamental Tommy because he didn't kiss N'Keal Harry's useless arse.

My guess is that there's something going on with Bill's kid.

After the horrendous loss we just had I don't expect to see many Pats trolls here.

 

[Tottie]

Brutal beat down and it's a shame but to win 10 games was an accomplishment. They have hit again in the draft and get an OC or QB that is willing to actually throw the ball beyond the Los. I hate McDermott so much but Buffalo fans deserved it...a little bit.

Brady also helped turn a sub .500 HC with one playoff win into the GOAT.

 

[1960Pats]

I made the mistake of listening to the radio this morning and I couldn't believe what I heard.

The topic was Brady and his line of apparel. The host was making the claim that nobody likes Brady and won't buy his stuff because of the costs but that Jordan's sneaker deal with Nike was "cool."

Apparently the host doesn't realize that Brady's popular with just about every player he ever played with, maybe with the exception of N'Keal Harry who Brady yelled at. The host also doesn't realize that Nike uses sweat shops in poor countries to make sneakers for pennies and then charges outrageous prices. There's nothing cool about that.

If you keep wishing hard enough ... BTW, did you save some confetti and noisemakers for this afternoon or use 'em all up last night?

At some point you're going to need to face the reality that it wasn't Bill the HC that made the team great it was Tom the QB. I wish that wasn't true but it obviously was. Right now Bill's record for both regular season and the playoffs is below .500 without Tom.

Meanwhile, the coaching trio that everyone on Pats fans has ridiculed has won a SB ring and may be on their way to another with Tom.

IOW, it's about the players not the coaches and that's as plain to see as it gets.

In 2020 and 2021, their record in December/January against winning teams…the Patriots went into the end of season stretch at 6-6 and 9-4, expected to win or be competitive in each game.

2020
Rams 24, Patriots 3
Dolphins 22, Patriots 12
Bill 38, Patriots 9

2021
Colts 27, Patriots 17
Bills 33, Patriots 21
Dolphins 33, Patriots 24
(Postseason) Bills 47, Patriots 17

0-7 record
Average game has been a loss by 17.3 points.

My dad constantly chirps that:
A) The Patriots never get blown out.
B) Belichick is the best big game coach in football.
C) The Patriots always improve and are at their best by December.

 

[1960Pats]

I do believe that Bill is a great HC but you need players to win.

I think @amfootball was heading in the right direction for this season. Something happened that turned this team around negatively, especially on defense.

Regarding your dad's points, I think it's pretty apparent now that all that was Brady.

I know it's a hush reality but the evidence is pretty overwhelming now that the dynastic run was primarily Brady. And without Brady Bill is not even average. I mean last night giving up 7 TDs in a row and no punts with the defense that quit, pretty much underscores that fact.
