PostGame Thread 2024 OFFICIAL WEEK 17 POST GAME THREAD: Patriots lose 40-7

[RobertWeathers]

Rex Ryan is better than Jerod Mayo by a mile

For context, we are talking about who is ****tier amongst two ****ty coaches.

 

[Jim Beankie]

Krafty Bob is a ****ing Billionare. He's gonna ****ing "meddle" if he wants to. You people complaining need to come to terms with that. His son will most likely do the same. He ain't selling the team either so just stop calling for that too.

The people calling for Jacobs to sell the Bruins 20-30 years ago had a better shot of convincing JJ than the current crew's trying to convince Kraft to sell the team, and JJ is only a single digit billionaire as opposed to RKK.

Consider watching the games.

there is a difference between sucking at your job even when putting in effort, and slacking off

 

[Triumph]

He is a more experienced coach. Based on his last year with the Jets and Bills respectfully I wouldn't say he is better.

Mayo could not devise a gameplan to confuse Mac Jones.

Rex rolled into Foxboro and took down Brady in the post season. Rex is way better and give him a QB like Maye

Rex Ryan was a good coordinator who deserved a HC job. He was not a good HC.
Mayo can’t even be a coordinator and didn’t earn the job. He is a horrible HC.

Its like saying Billy getting a 3 on his math test is comparable to Bobby getting a 64

The 2009-2010 Jets defenses had a lot more talent and heart to work with than this Patriots bunch.

Teams with new coaches are supposed to get better as the year winds on, not get blown out week after week.

Teams with new coaches are supposed to get better as the year winds on, not get blown out week after week.

1993: Bill Parcells was 5-11 with 3 losses by more than 1 score, but ended the season on a 4-0 streak.
2000: Bill Belichick was 5-11 but only 2 losses by more than one score, and finished season 3-3 after a 2-8 start.
Note the 2023 the 4-13 team had 5 losses by more than one score, and was one reason used for how the team tuned out Belichick.

The currently 3-13 team has 7 losses by more than one score, without a win after Veterans Day, and 3 of those multi score losses after Veterans Day.

Point is, in the other cases you could see the arrow trending upwards even if there wasn’t a reason to believe the team would be a true Super Bowl contender the next year. This year, I’m seeing floundering at the beginning and at the end, no real improvement.

Nailed it

 

[Since1960]

Ryan inherited pretty good talent up and down the roster in NY. Once the talent started to age, so did his act.

And to think the leader of that pool of talent was none other than “Mr ButtFumle” himself. Also lead to the Mrs getting a tatoo or two as I recall….

Another thing to add, teams don't usually move up to the 1st pick overall after getting the third pick overall. Teams usually get a lower pick because they improve.

 

[StockingAnarchyNumber12]

History doesn't mean ****.

In the last 3 years our record is 15- 35...2nd worst in NFL over that span

Nowadays you expect the Patriots to lose. Gone are the days you feel confident about anything involving this team.

 

[captain stone]

Rex Ryan is better than Jerod Mayo by a mile

While true, I still don't want him as my HC either.

 

[ralmat55]

Agree. He'll never sell the team while he is alive for three reasons.

1) He is a jock-sniffing, star*****er. As an owner of an NFL team, it gives him cache and the access to celebrities and sports figures.
2) Patriot Place. That whole area is a goldmine. I'm assuming it'll need to be part of the deal.
3) Posterity.

Do you really think Patriot Place is a goldmine? For people who like praise (and don’t we all), where are all the media reports about the fabulous success story that is Patriot place. A mall in the middle of nowhere built around the start of the Great Recession in an era where malls have been dying left and right across the country.

Have you ever been there? I admit it’s been 5 years this Saturday since I was last there, but I was never impressed, and I’m a Maine boy. I can’t imagine it breaks even much less be a goldmine.

He won’t sell the team because it’s a huge part of his life and who has $9 billion to pay for it? Bezos, Musk, Buffett that’s about it, and they’re busy with more important things. The Celtics were supposed to have been sold by now. Why haven’t they? Perhaps, no one wants to pay what Forbes values the NBA champs at. No one has $8-9 billion to buy the Patriots and run them like the hobby you dopes think that an owner should.

I get the Kraft hate. He fired your unrisen savior years after he should have by the way given the standard your savior himself set. It’s too bad the “Dynasty “ cast Bill as the villain . Those facts don’t lie.

Bob should give Ian a few bucks to promote his “Stop Hate “ campaign on here.

 

[BUSTAMOVE]

@Ross12

Guys I am not Johnny Kraft.

I was just volunteering to fire Mayo if they didn't have the guts.

****
I was saying to myself Jonathon Kraft goes on the Chiefs fan forum to banter lol

 

[n1997y]

Eagles offensive line helped an older RB break the freaking rushing title this season. Also BOTH backup QBs looked amazing today. Pats need to draft and develop along both lines. Eagles are even developing linemen who haven't played football before. Remember those days?

The days of a competent coaching staff?

 

[n1997y]

Rex would mean the Jets have a better coach than NE.

Thats true if they have a coach. Any coach.

Laughing emoji is about whether there was ever a question

I was there, a few years ago. It seemed mostly a venue dependent collection of restaurants and bars, a couple of hotels as anchors, and some healthcare providers. Probably has a good solid foundation from the healthcare facilities, which also support game day emergency services. Other that that the bars and restaurants and hotels depend on events at Gillette, or the lack of anything else nearby. Seemed to me that they had a good set of captive healthcare provider tenants as foundation. Doubt they’re in trouble, doubt they’re a goldmine. But if they cover their nut they’re a good growth play.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

We do XMAS party at Splitsville many years, then bar-crawl the rest of the night...wake up and grab bloodies/Mermosas.
Once in awhile start early eating/drinking at the Hibachi next to the hotel.
It's a good time, but I don't go carusing through the shops, and there's a lot of them. I did go to Bass Pro Shops a couple of times, it's on the opposite end of the property.
