No Sir. This team looks putrid. They are still my boys! 45 plus years of being a Patriots fan. There is no elite talent on this team. Some good to very good. But not a single top 10 player at any position except team MVP Folk. The coaching staff is in disarray. I think we are going to see some bad football for awhile. Hope I'm wrong.....

I hope you're wrong too. It lends credence to the naysayers who claim it was all Brady which seems impossible no matter how good he was.

We've been through a lot of coaches who all had success in NE. Hard to believe this new crop is suddenly garbage across the board.

We did have Pioli and then Caserio. I now wonder how much they mattered.

This team may reek of mediocrity, but putrid seems a bit harsh.

Hmmm, Rex was hired by his dad after their 2nd season together the entire coaching staff was fired.
He then went on and had a bunch of college coaching positions until Bill Bellick hired him to his 2nd NFL gig. Spent 10 years working for him in many different positions.

Rob who I personally think is worthless and a slob. Same thing hired by dad fired two years later. Lots of college assignments. He was hired by BB then bounced around the league.

Stephen Belicheck hired by dad. No college expirence, no other NFL expirence yet keeps getting promotions.

Brian Belichick hired by dad to be an asst scout for one year. Moved up to asst coach. Now in Stephen's old spot as safties coach. No college expirence, no other NFL expirence yet keeps getting promotions.

Sorry not even close to the same petigree.

Why is NE struggling on D now?
You are right.

It's all Steve and Brian's fault.

Hmmm I guess that's what I am saying.

My point if BB breaks his record but it took him 35 more games seems like a crap stat to me.

If you rank them by regular season win percentage they are back to back right now with Shula have a slight advantage. If you rank them by Post season winning percentage Bill has a 38 position lead on Shula.
How many years did he squander Marino's Arm and talent?
Fuck that, Shula doesn't even come close.

So if I am reading this correctly BB is 13 less wins with 38 less games at this point? Reg season.

My math says BB has 38 fewer reg season wins and 51 fewer reg season games
I guess I read the chart wrong. Chances are it will take him more than 52 reg season games to get the 39 wins. In the end everyone know BB is the better coach. And yeah no way he would have wasted a talent like Marino

Shula was the head coach from 1963-1995 = 32 years (14 games per year. Only 28 teams for most of those years and no free agency for more than 20)

BB has been a head coach for 26 years. (14, 16 and 17 games a year. Has never coached without free agency)

Free agency has been the biggest killer of modern coaches because they can't do two things. 1. Stop exceptional players from leaving a team 2. Can't always afford to buy an exceptional player.

Even if he didn't catch Shula, He's done a hell of a lot more with a hell of a different league.

The salary cap (aka the equalizer) made a bigger difference than just free agency. Shula coached just one year with it while Bill only coached 3 without it.

You are right.

It's all Steve and Brian's fault.
You asked how Ryan's did. I answered you and showed you it's not even close to what they have done compared to the Belichick boys.

Never said it was their sole fault but what have BBs sons done since arriving? Do you not think there are better proven D coaches out there that could help this team?

It would be interesting to hear what players think of them two.

Just because you're the son of a great coach doesn't mean you'll be one.

I'm think 8-9 Not crazy about Patricia and Judge back, and especially on O, and Steven Belichick from Breaking Bad
Agreed, I really do not understand BB sometimes. But I have no say in those decisions so I just accept them for what they are.

Yeah how does BB expect Mac to progress with that crap?
There was a scene in remember the titans when coach Boone claims they are going to run only six plays, but run them to perfection. Maybe this needs to be our approach

I suggested that Rex and Rob got their start through their dad, As well they should have.
Bill's dad had a long successful career, Bill's daughter coaches lacrosse, may be they will be good coaches too.
I don't see Bill as a mollycoddle type of father. If their not cutting it, I trust Bill will steer them out.

He’s a guy that works 20 hours of the day and 350 days of the year,” first-year Giants coach and former Patriots assistant Joe Judge told McKenna.

“I think it’s tougher for Steve in a lot of ways, because he’s always got to prove that he’s earned it,” Judge added. “Over time, if you can’t demonstrate that you belong in that building, you’re the sore thumb sticking out. And he’s showed time and time again that he’s prepared, he’s very good with the players, he’s got the great, global view of the game,
