I don't think it's inaccurate. Go and look at Miami, look at even Buffalo, don't have to go far. They utilize zone concepts, put players in advantageous match ups based on thier skill set. It takes innovation, and understanding what the league offensively is. I'm not saying by any stretch that BB doesn't know any of this. However the team is still running the Brady offense. During the run we had the skill players to execute the Brady offense. We had McDaniels for most of that run. The offense was McDaniels and Brady's.
He tried to switch up the offense Mac couldn't handle it and cried so they went back.
Absolutely agree it won't be replicated in ANY sport. The level if success that we've had. People in other sports cities call us spoiled and I'd say we were. However the patriots were losing for so long prior to RK purchasing the team. No one can play or coach forever. So we know that it would end at some point.
My friend. I made simple points in our own division of modern offenses. 12 ppg is all you need to use as a barometer for how this offense is. Miami is a modern offense basically every AFC team except us is a modern offense. I'm not trying to convince you the proofs on tape we have a season long sample. I'm not arguing the offense didn't change over the years. The weather changes too! However by NFL standards this isn't a modern offense I'm sorry. Look at Miami yesterday putting up 30 plus on an elite defense. Why? Because McDaniel has a modern offensive scheme that utilizes his players to the best of thier abilities. The Patriots offense worked as well as it did Becuase of the GOAT and Josh. This isn't hard to figure.
That’s a fact … we all retire by choice or by force sooner or later haha!!
LOL ain't that the truth. What I'll be excited to see going forward with the next coaching staff is some modern offensive scheme.. I love to watch the NFL as a whole. I watch teams each week go down the field and score in 5,6 plays. It takes us smoke n mirrors and alot of misdirection to even get to the 50 yard line for us.
Obviously a copy cat league, but who would have thought the nfl would have copied the cfl !! I’m privy to the old nfl. Two yards and a cloud of dust. Violent hits … If you watch college football, The tackling is atrocious!! So many players tackle high and slam guys into the ground. Lots of points … getting to be like basketball, whoever has the ball last wins …
Your right. The NFL has copied from college and vice versa, the league is all about offensive football. It's very rare to see those violent hits.. if it happens is an automatic flag. We helped changed the rules because Bill Polian cried to the NFL about how we were physical with his WRs down field.
The Canadian Football League… cfl. It’s been a wide open game since the 70s . Lots of points and pre snap shifts. Bigger field with an extra player on both sides. 3 downs instead of 4. Less running more passing
Lazy and inaccurate analysis got it.
Call whatever you want. The truth is hard to accept!
I tend to agree but his comments about how all players need to be ready to go makes me wonder.
Ross can I ask. What's the motivation behind it? What competitive advantage does naming a starter give to the opponent?
We're not good I understand that. Your conflating it with outdated is my contention.
All I'm simply saying is that we have to consume so much clock and use smoke n mirrors now to score. The Patriots offense that was once so fluid, schemed up well, execution with pin point accuracy is a shell of it's former self. That has alot to do with personnel and scheme to the players on offense. So I was just saying by today's NFL standards that maybe our offensive scheme may be outdated?
And all I'm simply saying is that calling something outdated that you watched evolve for 20 years and constantly implement popular trends through the years is not the best analysis. And you seem to know it because you keep telling about the personnel but can't say anything about what is actually outdated.
Your not listening to me my friend. I'm in agreement with you that the offense has evolved over 20 seasons and was 6th in PPG with Josh in Mac's first season. However this season, I just told u we score 12 ppg , takes long drives to no where often ..with smoke n mirrors not actually lining up, and beating the guy in front of you. There is no downfield passing attack. No full back, no 3rd down back, no RPOs, analysis is my eyes what I witness on Sundays. Yes the personnel absolutely has much to do with this. You know this just like I do. So to me IMO it's outdated. There is no answer this season and it's okay. Rk is a proud owner I doubt this offense looks like this next season it's an embarrassment.
Our downfield threats have been mostly hurt and Mac sucks at the deep ball.
I'm sorry I mentioned full back. I didn't mean to offend your BB record breaking offense. Of course it is on BB. He ASKED for the GM hat when he took the. As much deserved as the credit he gets for the success, rightly so he gets criticism for how we look now. Honestly I just believe with the Dallas and NO blow outs the season spiraled out of control and could never recover. Unfortunately we only get 17 games. Now instead of talking about play off seeding we have to talk about draft picks. This team in 2021 was 9-3 and the top seed in the AFC, the feeling was wow BB has created another winner post the Ghost. How did we get here?
