Some happened at the top with ownership, some were coaching blunders, some were on field mistakes...and some were out and out robbery/tragedy that no franchise should have to endure.that period was filled by miscues, what ifs, complete f...ups and almosts.
Those simply do not erase the many huge wins it took to be at the brink of the top...in thirteen seasons (1976-1988) exactly one losing season, the only one in which we were not in playoff contention.
And with help from local media, I got laughed at and denigrated for being a Pats fan right here. The fact that those and all the other teams in the league suck, made it easier to be a Pats fan. It didn't matter if we lost every game.It was difficult being a Pats fan, particularly in an area saturated by Giants, Jets and Dolphins fans..
Not easy or simple to make the trek down Route One, and not the fanciest stadium and amenities...but most of the time, a very good team that won.in an area where a blackout was more common than the game being on TV.
Kraft bought the team, kept it here, built the new stadium and hired Bill Belichick.You need to give Kraft credit
Kraft was virtually forced to, as he knew the sudden success with Brady would be in jeopardy if he didn't lay off.Mr, Kraft walked away from trying to micromanaging this team and gave that power to BB
