TroutDog Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) On his show just now, he really believes Brady is gone and questioned whether they will win the AFCE next year. Let’s all hope he’s right: I believe he is. Edited January 6, 2020 by TroutDog 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc11 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I hope Brady stays. I want to win the East with him still there. 12 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I could see the AFCE be a 3-way fight next year. Tougher schedules, lots of west coast road games for us. MIA could be a lot better. Jets, who knows? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d agree with this but I also believe he’s right: they aren’t shoe-ins anymore and I like our chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I think it will be tougher, from top to bottom, and more competetive, from top to bottom, than it has been in many years. 5 minutes ago, ScottLaw said: I'll declare that when we actually beat them....

May Day 10 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I dont know... Even if Brady leaves, I could see Belichick re-inventing them the way Harbough did for Baltimore. One strike against them is their below average drafting as of late. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troll Toll Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Bellicheck went 11-5 with Matt Cassell. Nothing is over until Bellicheck is gone. With a top end QB, they could be better than they ever were with Brady. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I get the argument in the past when people were declaring this after a week 4 loss against Miami or KC or whatever. You have to admit that this is much different. This was the weakest Patriots team since the early 00's. Brady is at a crossroads, and even if he stays on the Patriots he is like 43. The offense just lost its most dangerous weapon, and their other weapon is also getting old and beat-up. Their O-Coordinator also will likely leave. They just lost 2 meaningful home games in a row to the Dolphins and the Titans, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Tannehill. They were 4-5 to close out the season, and they really didnt look strong since week 4. I would also say, another team in the AFC East appears to have it together for the first time in the Patriots' dynasty. Like I mentioned upthread, I would hesitate to count Belichick out... but there is no denying that this is a very transitional point in this 'run' like no-other time in the past 20 years or so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrober38 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Brady was pretty horrible this year and Jarrett Stidham was really good in the preseason. Belichick is such a miracle worker I wouldn't rule out them replacing Brady with Stidham or another veteran and once again winning the AFC East next year.

My biggest hope is a conflict between Kraft and Belichick over Tom Brady's contract status. If they keep Brady and Belichick walks, I will declare it done.

I’m quite confident that if Stidham is the QB next season, the reign ends next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Otreply Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 We can all sit back and wait for the PC when Brady retires and comes out, and then realize a girly man was the dominant football player for the last two decades, it’ll be great ?

Gray Beard Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Maybe somebody should start a poll.... what win-loss record will win the AFCE next year? 7-9? 8-8? 9-7? etc. I think it will be something like 9-7. Tough schedule, and conference teams splitting with each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a top end QB, they could be better than they ever were with Brady. And he was 14-6 with QBs not named Brady (Cassell, Jimmy, Jacoby). Bill Bellyache is the driving force. If they run off Tommy as I suspect, they'll get someone like Bridgewater or Eli Manning or Ryan Tannehill and the train keeps rolling. Even if Tommy does leave I suspect it rolls on until Bill retires and the cheating stops or at least the new coach is not as good at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
