Belichick's end of season speech / excuses to team

[captain stone]

It would be ridiculous and negligent.
You want a coach to publicly assess blame for the first losing season in 20 years and do ping it by throwing the players he drafted under the bus? No one who has ever managed any people at any level, including McDonalds would think that a good idea.

I said it would be refreshing...I didn't say I would've agreed with doing it.

The media is really coming for Bill. Even with his mistakes I'm not sure fans should wish for him gone.

Look at all the teams replacing their coaches every year. Eagles just fired the guy who got them a superbowl

The media dislikes Bill, cause he dislikes them.

No interest in hearing any excuses from anyone this year.

Not sure I saw this before but Guy just repeated what Belichick told the team in the final meeting. Seems like a bunch of cliched excuses. Yawn. Maybe I was expecting something loftier / better.

Here's why Patriots' Lawrence Guy is cheering for Tom Brady to win another Super Bowl

New England Patriots defensive tackle Lawrence Guy won a title with Tom Brady in 2018, when the Patriots beat the Los Angeles Rams. Now Guy — in an appearance on Sirius XM NFL Radio on Wednesday — says he wants to see his former teammate win another title with his new team, as Brady and […]

We didn’t win games that we want to win. But that doesn’t mean that we just put our tails under our butts and just walk away. That means you strive to be better the following year."

Reviving a long-dead Biffins thread should be grounds for indefinite suspension. Don’t let the trolls out of the sewer.

You realize you're replying to an 8 month old post, right?

Three people necro’ed the thread before the poster you’re quoting posted. At that point the thread is front-page.

I’d be more curious why Marko revived an 8 month old thread (my guess is the “similar threads” suggestion at the bottom of forum - it will suggest threads that are rather old).

Since we're talking about relevant news here: Y'all hear about this Hitler fella? Sounds like he's causing some hootenanny over in Europe...

I thought this was a new thread. I was like “Bill is giving up on the season already?”

I heard that the Patriots drafted Seymour. Can't believe they didn't draft David Terrell he would have been a real weapon for our QB Bledsoe.
