AFC Scout: Pats are a disorganized program

[Thelonious]

Boston Sports Journal

I see a disorganized program, which leads to disorganization on the field. On defense, you've got guys in the wrong gaps, players freelancing, and they don't play cohesively from front to back. Do you want to know why they've fallen off so much on that side of the ball? That's it. You can't do that and expect to be good. And they could still make it work even without some of the big pieces they've lost (Barmore/Bentley/Peppers). Maybe not to the level it's been previously, but they're not good. They should be better.

Yikes.

That’s the kind of perception that gets our coaching staff completely blown up at season end.

This is the furthest thing from surprising. Neither is it a "hot take." To my eye, it is a cold and objective description of the piss poor management team the Krafts have put in place. For the sake of politesse, I suppose we can hold off on firing everybody until the end of the season, which is frankly pretty much what I would do, with the possible exception of AVP, if he agrees to a demotion to QB coach. But can we at least immediately get rid of Wolfe, whose record of failure goes well back into the Belichick era, so there is at least some chance we can begin - again - to rebuild the roster around the apparently very good QB who fell into our laps due to the high pick gifted us by Bill's late-career incompetence as HC/GM?

Perhaps not !
Most scientists define wetness as a liquid's ability to maintain contact with a solid surface, meaning that water itself is not wet, but can make other sensation. But if you define wet as 'made of liquid or moisture', as some do, then water and all other liquids can be considered wet.

Very helpful. Any thoughts at all on that whole dark-at-night thing? One hears the sun plays a role, but I am sure you can offer a more sophisticated analysis.

Pretty easy that one. Absence of sunlight due to rotation of the earth every 24 hrs.

But I thought earth is flat why would rotation matter?

Kyrie explained that the flat earth is kind of like a pancake. God flips the planet every 24ish hours to ensure that the sun does not over cook one side.

We're usually all asleep when it flips. I pulled an all-nighter once and I felt like I flipped upside down in the back seat of an F-14 Tomcat. It was wild. But when the flip was over and the move stabilized, I felt instantaneously reoriented. The whole process took maybe half a second.

from Dynasty to “Disorganized”

Ah, Fascinating. Who knew?! I had not realized the was "absent at night." I had thought it was merely not in our line of sight. One wonders where is goes when it is "absent."

He could be right, but unnamed front office sources don’t do much for me.

I said my biggest concern was Covington him being Raw to the position.
If you dig it up I said I was concerned about missed assignments, mental errors,
I never dreamed the WRs and O line would be as bad as it has been though.
With a competent offense Maye may throw for 500 yds a game.

Kliff Kingsbury or Ben Johnson or Josh Mcdaniels or Joe Brady, followed by Kellen Moore and Brian Flores.
Nobody else should get a interview Mayo needs to go.
Anyway we could pr

Kliff Kingsbury would be as bad a hire as it gets . He’s a one trick pony OC and that’s it. He’s more interested in Instagram pics than he is coaching. Josh MacDaniels has already failed twice as a HC and would return them to the EP offensive system, which would be a terrible outcome for Maye. I won’t even bother with your other choices. Of those Iohnson is the only one I would consider, but being a great OC is no guarantee of becoming a great HC. If Vrabel could get a great offensive mind to go with him then I would consider him, but whomever it is needs to be a long term answer. Changing coaches every other year ruins franchises.

Then simply open your eyes. It requires no "sources" to see what a ****show this team is, nor that the new "team leadership - GM and HC first and foremost - are not up the their jobs.

It is not really 24 hours.

Exactly, hence the common expression "24 hours, 0 minutes, 0.0005391 seconds/7."

This is something that most of already know.
