That's what they're doing, setting it up towards the end. Everyone knows how the story ends, so they need to try to weave the storyline in a dramatic fashion, to keep the audience engaged (non-Pats fans).Just finished episode 5 and I am still wondering how this is allegedly a Bill "hit piece"? They basically spent an entire episode talking about how Bill was able to keep the team competitive and winning after losing Brady and I assume they were planting the seeds for the Bill vs Brady episodes down the road.
After the 1st 3 SBs, when the intoxicating effects of the narcotic took effect, Pioli says, you do anything to win. FF to spygate. The Mangini betrayal changes Bill. The Brady injury, shows Tom's insecurities for his role & sets up the "we can win w/ an avg QB" mantra. Then AH incident also changes Bill.
All of these are key moments in the dynamic between the 3 main characters. Like the post above from @Jim Beankie says, this is targeting a larger audience. It's a story about uber talented characters, their personalities, and flaws, set around a football team.
