Are the Patriots now the drought-era Bills?


Success

Recommended Posts

It really struck me watching them play tonight:

 

 - Huge uncertainty at QB

 - Good defense & special teams, good RB

 - All-pro punter

 - Can't consistently score points

 - JAG WR corps

 - Occasional amazing game to give fans hope, but in general maintaining a near-.500 record 

 - Being just good enough to not make the playoffs & avoid the top 10 in the draft

 

It's been weird reading their boards, too - the same playoff possibility conversations we used to have at this point:  if x team loses twice, and beats y team, but if y team beats z team, etc.  

 

I must say - I'm liking the role reversal.

Prisoners of the moment. From some Pats fans too, Its only year 1, and teams are dealing with COVID...they won 6 games so far could of easily won 8.

 

I mean you could wait at least a few years first to make sure.

Isn't it great to see the Pats 'In The Hunt' for the playoff spot at the very end of the list with essentially a 10000:1 shot to sneak in as a Wild Card, a position we Bills fans endured for many many seasons???

 

The next big question: Where will truckloads of Pats* fans bandwagon to next?

You really shouldn't try to tell someone their point is silly and use the phrase "could of" as part of your reasoning.

They should consider moving on from Belichick.

 

Not because he's over the hill NOW, he's still an excellent coach, but because he isn't going to be around long enough for a proper rebuild to take place. He would be a great head coach for a team like the Chargers, with a young stud QB and some talent on defense.

 

He is not the head coach for a team of over the hill talent and a QB desert incoming. 

 

All the Pats are going to do now is run on the treadmill of mediocrity with BB.

I like your logic but I think it would have to be BB moving on from New England, if I were BB I would see the writing on the wall of a long haul rebuild. I agree that the chargers would be a great fit for him and it would definitely be interesting for the league to have BB trying to slow down Mahomes 2X a year.

Wow that'd be a thing if both Brady and Belichick abandoned them.

Yeah, I doubt it would happen, but at BB's age and the impending mediocrity they most likely will be mired in I would definitely be considering it if I were him.

I mean yeah I figured he might retire here soon, but to leave and coach somewhere else? That city would melt down.
