At the risk of pissing off many who post here I agree with the author and would extend the negativity factor to a big chunk of Patriot fans and NE sports fans in general. I am always amazed at how spoiled NE sport fans are, how quickly they jump ship, and how negative we are overall. I am especially appalled at those who try to suggest that Belichik is failing the apatriots or that he is somehow doing a poor job running the team and should be replaced. While there can certainly be criticism leveled at him for personal decisions and the rare failings on the field the suggestion he isn't doing a great job overall is simply stupid and without merit. Watching the critics flail away recently has been really comical as the grasp for reasons to dump on Beilichik and ignOre the reality of just how good a job he is doing overall and how good this team is comparatively. The truth, at least from my perspective is that he is doing a remarkable job of rebuilding the team around Brady for the long term future and that their defensive failings are Botha part of that rebuilding job and exaggerated when Placed in the context of the leaguezas a whole because rule changes over the past decade have created a league where there is no such thing as good defensive teams and even the best teams in the league are plagued by defensive failings.
Unfortunately the perpetually miserable will never change and wil continue to whine piss and moan no matter how much success the Patriots have. I guess rooting for the best franchise in pro sports is just too difficult for those who are never happy and nothing willever change that.
