Are the Pats tanking?

I don't think BB has it in him to tank. They are just a bad team that bad personal decisions have finally caught up to them 

I completely disagree with this. I think BB lives by his own set of codes and ethics, and it’s all about what will help him win at the end of the day. He’s not above cheating or gaining any edge, which he’s proven year in and year out. If he thinks tanking to get his guy is the way to go, you’d better believe he’d do it.

Ok the Pats are not tanking on purpose. First BB job is definitely on the line this year if they finish with a top 5 pick. IMO if they get that Jerod Mayo is the new HC, or I am hearing they may go after Harbaugh (Michigan) and give him the BB type roll. (Not sure how true that’s from Sports talk radio)

 

So my point is BB can’t afford to tank, because he will not get the power he has here anywhere else at age 71.

I've heard both.  And don't be so sure about another team offering him both GM and HC jobs.

Part of me wonders if Bill is trying to get fired so he can go somewhere else that might have a better QB position, either already there or a top pick in the draft. 

 

I mean, putting Matt Patricia as OC but not naming him the actual OC was a mind boggling WTF decision that probably obliterated any chance Mac Jones had of progressing after a fairly promising rookie season. 

 

That's like the Bills firing Dorsey, naming Dick Jauron an "offensive coach" but not OC but he'll call the plays, or won't. Maybe. We're not talking about it, except to say Dick Jauron will work with Josh Allen and the offense and someone will call plays. Allegedly. 

 

IMO that was Bill trying to get fired last year so he'd be free to go wherever he wants and not be limited by having to be traded where NE would control his destiny and suck draft capital away from his new team. 

 

If he tries to force his way out then NE will do the whole "we won't trade you anywhere you can hurt us" routine.
