BB and Kraft misjudged the situation.
They are human and do not get every decision right.
1. The Pats had about fifty bucks of cap space.
2. The Pats did try to get Brady weapons. They signed Antonio Brown. They drafted a WR in the first round. They traded for Sanu ( Brady's choice).
3. They went to four of the last six Super Bowls and won three.
4. Because of cap space management, free agent signings, coaching and etc etc... the Pats have had a unprecedented twenty year run resulting in 13 AFCCG appearances, 9 Super Bowl appearances and Six wins.
5. Belichick and Brady were together Six years longer than the next successful tandem. Six years. They got tired of each other?
6. For whatever reason, and I don't care what the reason was, their relationship soured. They got divorced.
7. The cap space was a factor. Did BB have some poor drafts? Yes. But did he try to surround Brady with weapons? Yes he did.
Not aiming this at the OP but WTF.
What a bunch of whiny sniveling twits.
If you're *****ing and are.....
Over 40 - phuck off. You've never had a better twenty year ride in your life. And half of you probably got married and divorced during the ride.
30 - 40 - phuck off. You're too young to realize that you had the best ride of your life. And half of you are probably filing for divorce after ten years of marriage.
20-30. -. Phuck off. You were born into a dynasty and was fed great moment after great moment with the proverbial golden spoon. What a bunch of spoiled pink hats.
10-20. - There's still hope for you. Slap your pink hat dad a couple of times for me. Will you?
BB built a playoff team in Cleveland. He built the Patriots into a Dynasty and he'll build them up again. No doubt in my mind.
I truly don't understand this "who was more valuable" bull shyt because the answer is they both supplied us an incredible twenty year run.
I love both Brady and BB. I'm enjoying watching Brady do his thing down in Tampa and I'm enjoying watching BB rebuilding the Pats.
Will he rebuild the Pats to what they were over the last twenty years? No. It's impossible. The BB/TB dynamic has only happened once in NFL history. It was special. Will BB rebuild the Pats into playoff contenders? Absolutely.

This is a preposterous take. No matter what happens from here both Kraft and BB have already made a huge mistake. No star in the history of the game has ever shined as bright, in his 20's, 30's or 40's. The fact that he didn't finish his career here, no matter the record, is a disgrace.Thus far Kraft was right. If Brady implodes this weekend in Green Bay or in the Super Bowl then BB was right.
As Jules Winnfield said to Brett, allow me to retort.It was time. Did you want 2 more years of 2019? Because thats the best case scenario barring an incredible offseason , and Brady would have to not decline this offseason. Since 2019:
A) we have lost collins, harmon, van noy, shelton for good. Watson too, as limited as he was still leaps and bounds better than what we have. Lost Hightower, chung, cannon, Edelman for this year., maybe for good. Couple more key guys have declined (simon, jmc)
B) we no longer have that creampuff schedule that we rode to 12 wins
C) Buffalo is an elite team now
And we’ve added.... philllips, onwenu, and a couple other solid rookies.
This team was going nowhere with or without Brady. May as well begin the rebuild
There are very few fans who hate either of them. If there are they're fools.To pit Patriots fans against each other on fan blogs. Some hating Brady with others hating Belichick. Obviously
This was a great post, thank you!!!!!1. The Pats had about fifty bucks of cap space.

Except with Brady you kick 14-16 million dead money down the road another year. You probably lose Thuney so the run game isn’t as good just to bring in 2-3 washed up “weapons” that may or may not work out so Brady doesn’t sulk. It’s ok to wish some draft picks and signings had worked out better but in the end it is what it is and BB’s methods and decision making process is sound.people need to stop extrapolating what brady is doing in tampa with what he would do in new england. With our lack of offensive talent we likely are worse than last year and get bounced in the Wildcard game again with brady struggling. instead brady is on one of the most talented rosters in the NFL with a kings ransom at receivers.
Now, that doesnt absolve Bill/Kraft from misjudging the situation. its okay if you move on from Brady if you have another guy in the wings. like when the colts went from Manning to Luck. But the Patriots lowballed brady while they had NOTHING in the wings. absolutely nothing. Who cares if Brady goes downhill like Drew Brees and you go down in the wildcard game looking washed up. its no different than going 7-9 with cam newton throwing balls into the ground. You literally are right where you are right now.
I think you are on the wrong fan page.
