I do see your point, but this has not been going on for only the past year (if it were, I would agree with you to take the medicine). The poor drafting and misses on free agency have been going on for at least 3-4 years. The talent level on this team is thread bare. McDaniels did not adapt to hi personnel this year. He does not have Tom Brady back their in the pocket.It just took yr for us to fire the whole core and do what the rest of the league is doing ? BB has developed the internal coaching over yrs. Josh has his moments in the game but he is also trying all kinda tricks to move the ball. It doesnt help if harry asiasi byrd drop catches or Cam has no touch in his passing game. Do you think daboll or bienemy would make this playoff roster?
They took their medicine which they havent in 20 yrs. We arent used to it as fans but 31 other teams have gone through this .
Yeah, if qb is need 1, then d-line is definitely 1a....The DLine is awful and I do not think a new QB will fix it. Allen had ALL DAY to pass. No pressure at all all night. AWFUL. We need a QB, but need a DLine too.
If Andrews wants to be here, and if Bill wants him here, then I feel that can be arranged.That's a fair question...they paid him this year...We are better with him, that's for sure....A question for you, would you let him walk and use the money elsewhere or pay him and if you paid him, would you move him to Center and let Andrews walk or resign Andrews and keep Thuney at Guard?
Well we have a 6-9 (hopefully to be 6-10) locker room right now, so...Thats how you build a locker room and culture full of losers.
Look at Miami, they were atrocious last year and then went on a 5 game winning streak at the end of the year. They weren't focused on tanking games to improve draft position, they worked on building chemistry and becoming a better team.. and now they're 10-5 in playoff contention
You don't really want to see that, do you?1 more rushing TD and Cam breaks the all time rushing QB record on the Pats. Let's go !!
He's a free agent and I would go the direction of moving Thuney to Center...with Mason and Owenu at guard...
That's plausible, but Andrews is a true leader- he's the rah rah guy of that line. Thuney is not really that sort of person and BB has shown that he'll exceed his standards when retaining leaders. There's a reason that Andrews is a captain, and Thuney isn't.
On top of that, Andrews is a top-notch signal caller who simply just doesn't make mistakes. That's pretty hard to replace.
Wouldn't be surprised if we actually let Thuney walk or trade him. Guards are easier to replace, IMO.
BB chose to pay Thuney $14M this year instead of saving the money when he had no cap space. Must think very highly of him.
Kraft has been in hiding so who knows what he thinks.
What's there to say? The Pats struggles are apparent and numerous.I am a little but surprised about his silence...no words all season...
I don't think that was a fair representation, Stidham put more yards up than Cam in only 2 series. He may not be a world beater, but Buffalo was teeing off on him. They were all out pass rush and he had no time. I want to see a full game where defenses need to be kept honest because the score is 0-0 not teeing off because if they get burned for a TD it doesn't matter.1 more rushing TD and Cam breaks the all time rushing QB record on the Pats. Let's go !!
Seeing Stidham go 4/11 tells me Cam isn't the root problem on offense.

That record should have alone kept by Grogan...at this point hope Stidham will play all game...so at very least he can not be surpassed...i hope for itJust the fact that Cam has tied Grogan's record has put me in a very sour mood.
Grogan set that record with less than half the amount of carries and almost double the yards per attempt as Cam, and he did it during one of the Pats best seasons (they were robbed of their first SB win by Ben Dreith) while Cam did it on the way to a 6-9 crap-fest.

True...but i find a little be weird a 100% silence...anyway you could be right...not so much to say...What's there to say? The Pats struggles are apparent and numerous.
This is also a good point...He could voice support for Bill
