Bill wouldn't admit the Matt Patricia / Joe Judge experiment didn't work. He tried to be the smartest GM in the league by getting the Lions and Giants to pay for those two while turning them into usable offensive coaches. It didn't work out. I expect a lot of changes to the coaching staff (not...

As touched upon throughout this thread, NE fans and sports media have unrealistic expectations. People here are used to going to the SB every other season, so the Patriots going through a downturn like every other team is not acceptable. I think most fan bases would approve of a team making the...

I think this gets us full circle to the biggest systemic issue with NE. What worked for them for years (strong defense, limit turnovers on offense, run the football, and let their opponents make mistakes) is no longer a viable strategy. Teams need to push the action, and a conservative approach...

NE has lost to much better teams (MIA, MIN, BUF, BAL) and their defense did nothing in their loses to GB and CHI. Obviously Tom wouldn't help them win games they won anyway. Jones threw for nearly 400 yards against MIN . . . not sure Brady would better that performance. Justin Fields and the...

Even this year, Jones has shown flashes of productivity. He was great for 3 quarters against the Ravens (IIRC, 6 completions 20+ yards downfield) but then things went south. He was lights out against the Vikings the entire game until he took sacks in the last 90 seconds. He was patient and...

Well, Tampa is 5-6 currently and have Godwin, Evans, Jones, etc. for Brady to throw to. Just like NE, the Bucs have had problems with their injuries, OL, and play calling. I am pretty sure Godwin, Evans, and Jones trumps Parker, Meyers, and Agholor. Maybe Tom would have authority to tell...

I know we are getting a bit removed from the thread topic, but I don't think it's Jones' fault that Patricia was calling three-yard routes on 3rd and 12, running draws, or sending out 5 receivers on deep routes when Jones had 1 second to get rid of the football. Jones certainly hasn't played...

IMO, if NE fixes their OL and get an OC, Jones would go back to how he played last season. We can debate what that means, but Jones with protection was fine against the Vikings the week before (382/2/0/120 rating). Put another way, if Tom Brady was still around, NE would look like they did at...

This has been discussed in other threads. Some of the current issues were brought on by the overall success of the organization. They have multiple coaches poached by other franchises, with multiple people moving with McDaniels to LV. Bill made his own mess by not replacing many of those folks...

BB has a local weekly radio interview segment, and his future has come up several times. Bill has mentioned that he used to think there was no way he would coach until he was 70. Now that he has reached 70, he said he enjoys coaching more than ever, has no other passions in life, and he could...

Since you brought up draft results, I looked up info on all draft picks since 2000. I tabulated how many players went on to have career AV scores of 100 (which doesn't happen all that often) and career AV scores of 50 (which in the grand scheme of things is a decent pick in any draft). Clearly...

Thanks for the suggestion. The thing is, several people involved in this mess have said everything needs to go through the shop's insurance and I need to let them handle it and stay out of the way. It's the shop's responsibility to return my car in the condition it was in when I dropped it off...

As a side note, the shop I went to is my wife's shop that she's used for over 10 years. We have taken all of our vehicles there at one point or another, and they up until now have been very good to us. They have honored their quotes even when the work turned out to be more complicated. They took...

The end of day update does not inspire me with confidence. I told our insurance adjuster to only talk to me and not my wife, since she has no idea what's going on and doesn't want anything to do with this. So what does he do? He called her 3 times today and me 0 times. His 72-hour report is that...

There is, but no one has seen it. I put a request in to get a copy, but it takes a week for them to process it.
