Are the Pats tanking?

This thread reminds me of what I read this morning:

 

New England decided to punt to NO from the NO 40 on 4th & 3 with 9:48 remaining in the 3rd while losing 0 to 24. With a Surrender Index of 39.71, this punt ranks at the 99.6th percentile of cowardly punts of the 2023 season, and the 98th percentile of all punts since 1999.

Sorry but I'm just not buying into BB forgetting how to coach football. Handy loving, casino owning Kraft is not above anything either.

I can't rule out a well designed flop to set the table for mullet wearing, snot licking Hoodie junior.

Step 1: Junior Hoodie coronation.


Step 2:  Immediately hire Harbaugh.


Step 3:  Appoint 'Booger' McFarland as football czar.

 

Patriot Nation immediately embraces the virtues of phlegm.

I don't think they are tanking either. But if they are I hope they miss out on Caleb Williams who is supposed to be the #1 pick in 24 draft.

Exactly, this guy needs to end up in the NFC somewhere. There are enough good QB’s in the AFC as it is.

I agree that it isnt Belichick's DNA to tank... and you also have players and other personnel who are highly competitive and jobs and money are on the line.

 

They are a bad team.  This has been festering for a few years since they blew their cap money and got nothing for it, drafting low-ceiling Mac Jones and ruining him with terrible coordinators, and further rotting of the roster.  Add in the fact that 3 of the top 10 teams in the league reside in their division (when Rodgers is in) it is a disaster.

 

You do not need to tank for the top QB.  Top QBs are not an exact science.  There are many QBs with the physical traits and a lot has to do with nurture over nature at this point.  A large part of it is what is between the ears.  A top drafted QB in New England does not scare me at all because BB will continue to go the internal/comfortable route for coordinators, draft poorly, resist getting top receivers, and everything else.  

 

Brock Purdy

 

You can also shortcut and find good QBs on FA or trade these days and even reclamation projects.

The entire Pats organization is completely on board with tanking if it suits their needs, they as a whole have been busted repeatedly over multiple decades for cheating, what makes anyone think they would not do this if it suited them???
