[FortressX]

History Rhymes it does not repeat

Veris, Tippett & Lippett all go down for the year in a pre-season game.

Eason waived.
Starting QB job up for grabs.

Berry gets canned

And then came 1990

No things did not get better

I was having similar thoughts.
If things are truly cyclical, it's our turn to bottom out and suck for a while before coming back up. Bill's past is glory, his future is retirement and that's something Kraft needs to realize helps the cyclical process matriculate towards the next generation of good teams.
It;s time, it's here.

It was tough watch the Pats while away at College back then. But I did when I could.

Remember when the Browns were good in the 80s and Bill blew it up and went under 500 there? Good times.

I remember those days. Those teams played better than this one has in the last two weeks.

'89 Pats, for your viewing pleasure...

The Patriots can turn around a lot faster today than they did in early 90s. Remember free agency as we know it wasn't a thing until 1993. Teams can turn around their fortunes faster than they could in the 80s and early 90s.

That 89 offense had a better oline. Better RB. Better receivers.
The defense had Vincent Brown.
Nuff said

 

[PATS16N0]

89’ Patriots destroy this team.

 

[Patsfan1958]

89’ Patriots destroy this team.

They're a lot older now, but would still probably destroy this years team even at their age.

So you're saying we're going to hire Andy Reid in 2028 to take over for the debacle left by the ex-SF offensive mastermind Chris Foerster.

They were better but weighed 50 pounds less.

Ugh. Bad memories.

I remember those days. Wasn't this the time the only time we could watch them on TV was in AWAY games due to blackout dates?
