I reject it as an unworthy thought, but from time to time I find myself wondering if Bill might be angling to ensure Mac has another bum season. Giving Mac a c--p O-line and a WR room in which half are old cripples would be a way to accomplish such a thing, wouldn't it? Bill has demonstrated, after all, that even in a Super Bowl he's willing to sacrifice the needs of the team to some petty snit of his. But I suppose it's out of order here at the Belichick Shrine to bring that up again.
No chance. Belichick's tenure is tied to Mac Jones' performance, IMO. Another bad year, I think Kraft will make the difficult decision to cut bait and let BB surpass Shula elsewhere.
