I do... Think it's a pretty effin amazing team accomplishment in its own right... It's about winning... To have the record for most consecutive winning seasons would be pretty damn cool...who really cares about that... at all...
I'm already getting ready for the days of yesteryear as far back as pre-Parcells and Bledsoe. When Brady leaves Foxborough I have a feeling we'll see a couple lean years. Even one more ring would be worth mortgaging the future a bit IMO.If Brady comes back I don’t care if we mortgage the future. Win him another ring or two.
If he doesn’t, blown it all up.
the "come on man" wasn't for believing that. it was for missing the humor/sarcasm in his original post.Everybody knows you win by running the ball. If you don't believe look at the graphics.
yeah, to me it's just one of a slew of records we've set from being so consistent. it'll get lost in those. it's no more important than any of the other ones like consecutive division titles, playoff byes, afc champ appearances, etc.I do...

All good I like busting ballsthe "come on man" wasn't for believing that. it was for missing the humor/sarcasm in his original post.

we have more than enough records related to winning consistently over a long stretch. at this point, the only thing that will stand out from what we've already done is competing for more championships
What you mean even the worse teams? Those teams have a better wr unit than this one. You know why this team’s going home? Because sanu and harry couldn’t beat man coverage to save their lives!!! Same goes for dorsett who can’t beat press coverage.
Aside from the Chung replacement issue that could be addressed by last year’s second round pick, the secondary is in fine shape. The front seven, not so much. You can pretty much count on one of Collins/KVN leaving, if not both, and both the inside fatties and the edge players need a fair amount of improvement.This “Super Bowl” caliber defense was throttled by run heavy teams who tossed Pats DL aside like rag dolls
This oldest roster in the NFL was bit ch-slapped by the Two Ryan’s whose teams had a combined record of 14-18
And this rebuild/retool with be achieved via mid round comp picks ?
Delusional
If they want to forge a realistic path to winning a SB in the next two years, you gotta get TB back and reload as smart as you can. .
Even from Curran's article it's unclear what the key differences are between "rebuild," "reboot" and "reload." Can you help with that? "Nuke it" is clear enough. I'm guessing that "reboot" means keeping the status quo from this past season but what's the difference between "reload" and "rebuild"?
It wouldn’t be a totally unreasonable organizational philosophy to want to tear it down and rebuild.
Reload. They could've been real close to fielding one of the leagues best teams this year with probably just another good WR, a TE, some OL back up and good health. It might just be a few really good players. Maybe just two.
I thought that was “reload.” Like, “reload” for another final SB run. I was more confused with reboot and rebuild.I'm guessing that "reboot" means keeping the status quo from this past season
2. How many quality FAs would want to come here, not to play with GOAT, but with Stidham!
Well that's rude haha. Those were my thoughts approaching it from the organization's perspective, not Tom's...as reload/rebuild/reboot is really an organizational decision, not TB's.I stopped after your first sentence.
Why would Brady come back? Belichick made clear just how much Bray was worth by the contract deal, and Belichick's managing of resources in acquiring OL's. After turning Brady's career over to Newhouse, Brady knew his future (if he survived healthy enough to have one). Brady owes the next couple of years to Scar, and to the offensive linemen who played with their many injuries (after all, there were no backups who even should have been active).
Apparently, Brady wanted a long-term contract last year, along with guaranteed money beyond year one. That is the contract that top veterans get. Instead, Brady was given a "prove it contract", with all the risk put on Brady. The best Brady could do was in insure that if he were to play after 2019, the patriots couldn't hold him back waking the franchise tag or the transition tag.
And, from where I sit, Brady did fine. Also, he looked better at the end. Brady's agent will look around, and see which GM's have the desire and the cap money to risk a bit of 2021 or 2022 money on Brady. There will be lots of Belichick-type one year offers.
