Judon Named AFC Defensive Player of the Week

The problem that we have with the image vs reality of the team pre-Kraft isn't so much the losing. Sure they were a sub ,500 team but not in an epic Jete sort of way. Pre-Kraft hey weren't the "Patsies" because of having more losing than winning seasons. They were the "Patsies" because their owners were losers. The salt to our wound was not only did we know it, so did the rest of the league.


As for the idiots peeing on Belichick, the Pats regular season record was 275- 312-9, 256-102 since. There's plenty of other meat on the bone but anyone wanting to put the boots to Belichick needs to start there.

From 1965-75 they were bad. You can take the APF point of view the Ben Dreith fallout affected them for years, and I will agree. The period from 1979 until Raymond Berry's hiring was generally bad, save for Erhardt's 1980 10-6 season. Berry finished poorly, so from 1989 to 1993 they were as bad as any Jete team. From Parcells hiring, essentially the Miami game Bledsoe's rookie year to the current administration, they've been excellent, save for '95, '99, '00, and 2020.
