YoloinOhio Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I know we always laugh at these preseason stories about Brady slowing down or the Pats imploding, but this is from the NE side: That doesn’t seem to be his mindset anymore. Now, it seems like he’s thinking: If they don’t appreciate me, then I’m not going out of my way to be there for them. I’ll show up for the mandatory practices, but that’s it. I’m not saying that’s for sure what he’s thinking. I’m just saying it seems like something is off. Brady doesn’t seem to be the same guy that we’ve grown to love over the last almost two decades – the guy that would be the first one to show up to practice, and the last one to leave. https://www.patspulpit.com/2018/6/6/17433074/new-england-patriots-tom-brady-minicamp-practice-nfl-offseason-drama Also heard on radio that Belichick was yelling at Brady in an OTA practice.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom ain't there at OTAs and made sure everyone knew it via social networking. Is he making a point ? No matter. I just want to Bills to kick their monkey butts this year. It can be done.

BillsFan4 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 It's cool to think about the the Pats dynasty finally starting to crumble. But right now all this talk is meaningless to me until it has an actual negative impact on the field. Until then, I'll just continue to assume that they'll be the usual juggernaut that they are. I do think this time possibly seems different too. But it's not the first time we've read about the start of the Patriots downfall. So I won't hold my breath. My real hope is that the Bills become such a good team we no longer worry about what the Pats are doing... lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trading of Jimmy G. was the beginning of the end. Whether it is this year or next I think the JG trade fractured the Kraft BB Brady triumvirate and I think it will fester and the divide will widen as Brady inevitably declines. I hope it is this year, with their backup qb situation, any loss of time by Brady and they are avg at best. I would prefer to see Brady's play decline and the Bills beat them with him playing, but either scenario would make me happy. It may take another year for the Bills to be ready but I feel things are shifting and the Pats run is ending soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steptide Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I know this will sound crazy considering the Patriots were in the superbowl last year, but Imo Brady didn't look as good last year as previous years. He looked vulnerable and sluggish to some degree. Yes, they went to the superbowl, but mark my words, last year was the beggining of the end for the Brady era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but they did let Solder walk, who was very reliable in pass pro, and lost Cam Fleming as well. They drafted Isaiah Wynn but he’s still a rookie and their OL is a question mark.
