I try to roll with it here & in society in general. I try to interject positivity when I can, without dismissing people's ideas.

I didn't say I was trying to be like that - not sure how you came away with that notion. I listened because I was trying to figure out where people were even coming up with this stuff because it didn't make any sense. After listening to it, all I'm saying is that at least I know where people are getting some of it from, albeit it doesn't make it any less ridiculous.

Yeah. These are good questions. I am not sure Kraft minds. But in the end he wants to win and make $$$ so if Bill and his kids fail to do that then they will be gone. I doubt after this season though. I think he gets a few more to try to make this rebuild into a contender.
They were 3-7 (including playoffs) vs teams .500 or better. 3 straight late season collapses.
I agree. When Bill does leave, Bob or Jon need to clean house.
I'm on record predicting 9 or 10 wins and a wild card exit from the postseason. However, 6-11 is not unfathomable. Their roster isn't that impressive and their schedule is fairly difficult. These could be your 11 losses:
If Godwin is healthy and Gronk returns then there's no room for Edelman in Tampa Bay either. The Bucs also have several young receivers on their roster... Tyler Johnson and Jaelon Darden, Scotty Miller is still only 24, and they have an UDFA Deven Thompkins who's caught the eyes of the coaching staff. I really don't believe Edelman would seriously consider a comeback anyway but if he did then it won't be with the Bucs.
The current construction of the coaching staff would seem to indicate the Krafts are a million miles away from firing Bill. If they had any uncertainty about Bill then why would they let him promote his sons to prominent coaching positions and rehire goons like Patricia and Judge who are now overseeing the development of their franchise quarterback. The Krafts apparently are going to let Bill ride this thing out in his own way... that became apparent when they let Brady walk away for nothing and then watched him humiliate all of them by immediately winning a Super Bowl. Now they can only hope Bill's coaching moves don't amount to rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
Go to the other thread and tell me how it plays out Week by Week. Don't think about the final record, just go one game at a time and quietly think about each one to yourself and how it plays out, and write it out. I did it just for fun to try and play it out in my head and would be curious to read about how they get to 11 losses in a little more detail
I let this play out for the sake of people having to be accountable as I'll be referring back to it depending on how the year goes. Yes, I do agree that we need to focus more on the team instead of talking about catastrophic scenarios without having played a down of football yet. This is a thread that at best should have appeared in mid-November with a 1-7 record. Not in mid-June after the quarterback looked terrific and the team performed well enough where Belichick ended OTAs early.
