It’s not like he’s putting together a band of misfits and coming up short in the waning seconds of the Super Bowl.
He’s 61-72 without Brady with one playoff berth and one playoff win in seven seasons.
How one can just brush that off is nuts. That’s a lot of games. That’s a huge sample size.
Currently Team Bill is in the midst of seeing whether or not Mac Jones succeeds. If he succeeds, it’s because of a next level development system, incredibly good scouting, and Bill/Josh imparting football wisdom on him. If he fails, it’s because he was never going to make it.
That‘s the logic behind every Patriots homer discussion on this forum. It‘s just like last year’s outcome…everything they said Bill would do (give them an advantage with coaching, improve team as season goes on, ensure team is always motivated and can hang with anyone) the opposite happened, so they just moved the goalposts (the team had the talent of a 3-13 squad! and great coaching is how they won 7 games.) That team had an over/under of 9 wins, which was about the same as the Bucs (9.5).
Not even worth trying to discuss anymore. You’re wrong because you don’t personally have six rings, and then you’re wrong because through hindsight, it turns out Bill gave us the best possible outcome.
The Patriots defense woulda allowed 60 points in SB52 with Butler, Brady woulda only wun 9 games and then we’d be screwed forever after that, that Bucs team was already going to be elite, etc. etc.
