Barmore could be the best DL in the division. Yea a second year player with 1.5 sacks and 3 tackles for a loss is the best d lineman in the division 🤦 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We made the playoffs the year before drafting Josh, and had mediocre seasons before that. We traded up in the draft to get him. Tanking isn't required and frequently doesn't work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be a good coach but he's the worst GM since Matt Millen. It’s hard to call him the worst GM Since Millen when he has 3 SBs as a coach/GM with a team he built Does his drafting record look the greatest? no But his ability to put together teams and coach them over 15 years is unquestionable… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you give Billichick to much credit after a horrible training camp. Who will the Patrots fans blame after a disappointing start ? It is coaching and he wouldn't even assign a OC. This. If Bellicheat is such a genius coach why can't he have his team ready for the start of the season? Every other coach is expected to. F him.

Steptide Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I'm all about the Patriots sucking. Serves them right for dominating the NFL for 20 years. Having said that, they still beat us last year (granted in 50 mph winds) but I'll still take them seriously everytime the bills play them, as I'm sure the bills will too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanking works to get you into the best position to select the best talent. My point is that we didn't tank to get Josh. Teams that did tank in 2017 - Browns, Giants, Colts, Texans - didn't get a franchise QB out of it. Tanking works to get you into the best position to draft the best talent, but 1) it's somewhat of a crapshoot to identify that talent, 2) a roster that's so bad that tanking occurs naturally probably can't be turned around by one player, and 3) players and coaches aren't going to intentionally tank because they're playing for future contracts, if not pride. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/19652764/tanking-nfl-advantages-disadvantages-worth-new-york-jets-cleveland-browns-2017 https://nypost.com/2019/02/07/why-tanking-in-the-nfl-is-barely-existent/ Show me a recent example of a team that tanked its way to a Lombardi.

Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I don't believe anything Belichick says. They have a young qb who should improve significantly entering year 2. They added Davante Parker. They have a very good offensive line (as usual) The combo of Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson is going to wear out opposing defenses. They have lost stars on defense, but Belichick always finds a way to put his young players in a position to be successful. They were leading the AFC East for a significant portion of last season. Belichick is a master of deception on and off the field: "Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak " Sun Tzu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 It's all fun and games to laugh at the Pats* -- believe me, I enjoy it -- but every team starts the season still feeling its way around. Even established teams undergo some roster/coaching churn, and nobody knows exactly how it will all play out. Sometimes it takes a few games. Nobody wins a championship in September and October, but the key is not putting yourself too far behind the eight ball with a slow start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FilthyBeast Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Interesting comments by the hoodie but if you think about it last year the Pats started 1-3 and took some time to find themselves. I think the biggest concern I would have as a Pats fan is what on early they are doing with the OC position and playcalling given how critical of a year it is for Mac Jones and his development. I get that Patricia is well versed in the 'patriot way' given his previous stint there but it really makes no sense asking a defensive coach to change sides so to speak on the fly. If this doesn't work out and the Pats crash and burn this year it will be a real bad look for Belichik who many already see as the GOAT.

Greg S Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I wouldn't be surprised if they finish last in the division. Buffalo will be better. Miami should be better unless Tua "F"s up.

GunnerBill Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) To be fair it always has been for New England. Even in the Brady years September was the month where they posted their lowest win percentage.... except for the rather smaller sample size in February. EDIT: they are going to suck this year though.

If the Bills could have even half the run they did with 2 to 3 Super Bowl championships I would have no problem with the Bills finishing last in the division for a few years while they rebuild the team. They have 6 Super Bowl championship this century. They have no reason to complain if they have to rebuild. It happens to everyone at some point.
