Beside the accolades for the Kraft family and Bill... Some reporter asked ,you seen this team early in the season what is your early assesment of the team this past year..

Pioli reply's - " Your team went threw alot of Qb's , and in fact your team went threw our Qb.. ", it got a chuckle, still we know what he ment..

Still best of luck Scott.. We move on..
 
He's got a "your" and "our" problem going right now. "His" QB is Tyler Thigpen.

Josh had the same problem and got called out on it by a report who asked,"when does 'we' begin to mean the Broncos and stop meaning the Patriots?"

It would be a seriously tough habit to break, I'd think.

It's also not like any other job change. You're changing allegiances to someone you once perceived as "the enemy". Probably takes a while to wrap your head around that.
 
Well, he did just get there. I think it becomes "his" team after free agency and the draft.

He signed a contract with the Chiefs - that's now his team. I can't blame him for wanting to think otherwise though.

Not exactly the sort of news that makes you want to crack open a piñata, but we'll survive

I would hope as soon as the presser is over because than he wont be talking about both in those contexts anymore and it fixes itself. Its only weird as you are talking about leaving one place for the other. Next time they get in front of the firing squads they likely wont be asking much about the Patriots and their will be no confusion.
 
The Patriots WERE "we" to him last year.

When talking about last year, it's CORRECT for him to say "we".

He may have said 'we' but when he said 'threw' I think he meant 'THROUGH'
 
HaHaHaHa. Great line. He should trade the guy to Seattle for a 7th round pick just as a thank you to the Krafts.

I would hope so if he wants to be successful. I had manager who was an external hire who used "we" to refer to his old company several months into the job as in "thats not how WE did things at....." He only last about 6 months and everyone hated him and was happy when he left.
