Here in New England, the 2022 season remains a frustrating topic, and it\u2019s added some additional pressure on New England Patriots<\/strong><\/a> head coach Bill Belichick after the decision to have Matt Patricia and Joe Judge handle the offense following Josh McDaniel\u2019s departure to Las Vegas last offseason turned out so badly.<\/p>\n

Given Brady\u2019s free-agent departure ahead of the 2020 season, and his subsequent Super Bowl win, last year\u2019s step backward has certainly increased the chatter about Belichick\u2019s future with the Patriots, which has set the stage for a season where there\u2019s certainly a little more at stake.<\/p>\n

NBC Sports Boston\u2019s Tom Curran\u00a0appeared on the Rich Eisen show on Monday<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and was fairly candid about the situation, telling Eisen that Belichick is absolutely under some pressure, which Curran believes started in 2019 after how things played out with Brady in preseason.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou talk about avoiding the hotseat, Rich, he\u2019s on the hotseat and he\u2019s been there at different levels of warmth since 2019,\u201d said Curran.\u00a0 \u201cLook at it this way.\u00a0 In 2019, Tom Brady wanted a 2-year, $50 million guaranteed contract just like Drew Brees had.\u00a0 He presumed he was going to get that.\u00a0 In training camp, it still was not forthcoming.\u00a0 He\u2019s like, \u2018You know what?\u00a0 If I don\u2019t get this thing, I\u2019m walking out.\u2019\u00a0 It was explained to Belichick that was the case.\u00a0 They got something done.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was not a two-year guaranteed contract.\u00a0 It was two years, with a team option.\u00a0 So at that point, Brady, as we all know, said, \u2018O.K. time to go, I\u2019m leaving at the end of the year.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo as that progressed, and the team gets to 8-0 in that season, Brady\u2019s pissed, Kraft is looking at it as, \u2018O.K., if we\u2019re moving on from this guy, I hope we have a good plan.\u2019\u00a0 Brady leaves, Belichick somehow convinces [Patriots Owner Robert] Kraft that not spending that money on Tom Brady was a great idea, he wins a Super Bowl.\u00a0 The Patriots, under Cam Newton \u2013 because they don\u2019t have a plan \u2013 were a trainwreck offensively.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have a good 2021.\u00a0 They bounce back tremendously, with McDaniels doing a great job of orchestrating things with [Mac] Jones.\u00a0 [Josh] McDaniels leaves, again, no plan for replacement.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAll those guys they spent $172 million on in guaranteed money in 2022, are so bad, and the decision to have [Matt] Patricia and [Joe] Judge running the offense caused a massive regression and dysfunction.\u00a0 They were one of the worst teams in the league coach-wise, in terms of penalties and situational football and that just shouldn\u2019t happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo Kraft has pointed out, and I\u2019m babbling here, a number of times, \u2018I\u2019m anxious, I want results,\u2019 and he\u2019s not getting them. And I wonder if Belichick had already passed [Don] Shula, or wasn\u2019t even within hailing distance of Shula, if we would really have this kind of a hand-wringing\u00a0 \u2018What do you do about Bill?\u2019 conversation.\u00a0 Because it\u2019s not just last year.\u00a0 It goes back to the midway point of 2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kraft Walking Back Comments?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Curran also talked about the fact that Kraft has been vocal in his desire to see the team get back to being a playoff contender, which would seemingly insinuate that he\u2019s not happy with where things are at.<\/p>\n

However, he also pointed out that Kraft has since started walking back those comments ahead of this season, referring to the difficulty the team faces schedule-wise.<\/p>\n

\u201cKraft has already started walking back the demand for a playoff win,\u201d said Curran. \u201cYou can sense it in him saying, \u2018I expect us to be a good team, but our schedule is something else.\u2019\u00a0 So last year, he indicated, \u2018it\u2019s been three years since we won a playoff game. I expect to win one now this year.\u2019\u00a0 They didn\u2019t come close to doing that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo now, you\u2019re looking at a situation where you would expect Kraft to ratchet that up.\u00a0 He\u2019s kind of walking it back explaining how difficult the schedule is.\u201d<\/p>\n

It certainly won\u2019t be easy. The Patriots open the season with two home games against Philadelphia and the Dolphins, followed by two straight road games against the Jets (with Aaron Rodgers) and Cowboys all on deck to begin the first four weeks of the season.<\/p>\n

How that stretch unfolds will potentially be key as from there, New England then faces the Saints at home, a trip to Las Vegas, and then the Bills at Gillette Stadium, followed by a trip to Miami for what would be their final game of October.<\/p>\n

So by November, we\u2019ll probably know whether they\u2019ve taken a step forward, or if they have their work cut out for them.<\/p>\n

How They Look in 2023 Will Be Critical<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Curran also went on to say that it likely won\u2019t be their final record that potentially decides Belichick\u2019s future.\u00a0 It will likely instead be based on how the team looks out on the field, and he believes it clearly needs to be much better than what we saw last season.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t be situationally stupid.\u00a0 You can\u2019t have a quarterback who is so disgusted on a regular basis that he\u2019s gesturing toward the sideline in disgust,\u201d said Curran.\u00a0 \u201cYou can\u2019t seem as if you have no clue.\u00a0 You can\u2019t be one of the worst teams in the red zone or on third down.\u00a0 All of those things can\u2019t happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you improve and you\u2019re in the top 10, and you\u2019re losing games where you just get outplayed instead of lateralling over your head with the game on the line, he\u2019s got a better shot, even if the team finishes 8-9.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut if they look disorganized, disfunctional and the discipline is out the window?\u00a0 Then they might say, \u2018That was a great run, but can you go upstairs and just watch Jerod [Mayo] coach next year?\u201d<\/p>\n
