Ugh ... bad play there by Peppers
 
Ya have to wonder what is going through Bills head as he is pacing the sideline in a snowstorm where you have 3 points from an offense that’s just….quite frankly really hard to watch….with 4 wins. If the chat has been had, hard to imagine him giving a flying ____.
He wants to beat the Jets. Period
 
so instead of 2nd and 10 from the 10 it's 1st and 10 from the 25.... pathetic undisciplined play from the coach's team
 
They should be going over the top to Reagor repeatedly. He adjusts beautifully to the ball.
 
I feel like Daniels would have the same problem driving the ball in this weather
 
What horseshit
 
Someone please explain to me why Belichick will allow himself to be traded for a draft pick and hurt his new team.

If I’m Belichick, I’m either coming back to coach the Patriots or I’m telling Kraft “f*^% you; fire me and I’ll sign where I want.”

Doesn’t make any sense; why would he allow his new team to be hamstrung?
 
How about Jim Harbaugh? Proven winner at the NFL level with a modern offense, friend of Brady. Ok he’s 60, but you use the time to pair him with a successor.
I posted in another thread about it the other day, I'd be pretty happy with a Harbaugh hire.
 
BB doesn't suck, he is just not the right coach for this team anymore. It needs a hot reset. He failed the rebuild and lost the locker room and has missed the draft. He is set in his ways here and it would be a lot to tell him he can stay but he needs to give up the GM spot, lose any say on how the offense is handled and all that. Which is what would need to happen. It be a massive demotion. He's better off going somewhere fresh where he can make get the rebuild right the first time and build credibility for those roles.
I think BB has been a bit exposed as HC since Brady exited…..just like his time in Cleveland . Great Defensive mind overall though…..but Pats are on the hook for his salary next year aren’t they ….so if they don’t trade him…and they fire him and another team hires him…..Pats are paying his salary next year right?! Thanks
 
Agree on everything but how has he lost the locker room?
That is conjecture on my part. I don't believe the players are motivated to play for him or buying into the program. No one is taking pay cuts to stay here and the only big name vets we've gotten in the last few years we massively overpaid for. No one believes in the program anymore, they will try to win because they are pros, but i don't believe they will go the extra mile they would have to play for and with Bill in the past.
 
You see how much effort zappe has to put into a throw 15 yards down field?

It's like he's trying to throw 150 mph.

That's why he's not the guy.
You know he’s not the guy when the best people can do talking him up is basically checking off the boxes that he could be a serviceable backup QB.

“Doesn’t turn it over”… that’s literally any backup’s job.

Not a starter. Never will be.
 
so instead of 2nd and 10 from the 10 it's 1st and 10 from the 25.... pathetic undisciplined play from the coach's team
Because he couldn’t stop on the slick field?

Lemme guess, Bill ground down their cleats, right?

Why would any coach who has been traded allow it? Why did Sean Payton get traded this year? It's what happens.

He might be thinking this is the kind of games we almost always won. Snow and wind

My thoughts exactly.

Bill will not allow himself to be traded nor will Kraft trade him.

I think "Pat's fans" have been exposed since TB left.
 
It will be interesting to see how that works out. Bill is very big on setting the tone for the way a team acts and the tone of the locket room. He got to do it here cause Brady supported him and after he left the locker room was use to it and the vets who'd been here got others to go along with it or at least not cause a fuss about it.

If Bill goes into a locker room with an already established culture with vets set in their ways who hold the respect of the locket room and tries to do things they are very much against, how will that play out? It's hard to tell a bunch of vets they need to get in line and give up the way they are doing things so the club can be run like a the college Navy football team. That they all need to give up their phones and social media like they are back in high school. It could go bad if he has to deal with a strong respected established locker room.
You’re way over thinking and over complicating It.

Bill is not going to go in changing a locker room that’s functioning well. But he’s not going to have that if he’s going into a losing team. What he’ll have is complacency, guys coasting on image. And he’ll blow that **** up. Ask Lawyer Milloy how that works.

Maybe but Daniels would also change how opposing defenses play us with his ability to run.
