OT: Bill Belichick Retiring after season

[HuskyHawk]

Entitled Pats fan whining. Every single team in the NFL has lost a similar roster over the same span.

No they haven’t. Teams that were bad didn’t lose nearly as many good players. What good players did the Jets lose? They didn’t have many good players 4-5 years ago. They have a much better roster now than they did then.

It goes in cycles. The Dolphins are about to lose a ton of talent. They are way over the cap and that’s without extending Tua and Waddle. The league is designed that way, which is why what the Patriots did all those years was so improbable. It shouldn’t be possible.

Yes they have. They lost Revis. Jamal Adams. Leonard Williams. Keyshawn Johnson. Jonathan Vilma. That’s off the top of my head. Danny Woodhead was a quality RB. Kareem McKenzie.

Keyshawn Johnson? He retired in 2007. Vilma was traded in 2007. Woodhead was basically a Patriots cast off. Revis was superb, but they traded him in 2013. We are talking about losing a crap ton of good players just in the last 5-6 years or so. The Jets have way more talent than they had 5-6 years ago. So does Miami (about to trend the other way as I said). Bills have been shedding talent the last 2-3 years.

Here’s the cap situation for next year. Shocking that the Chargers and Saints stink and have cap problems. Houston and Washington should really improve next year. Bengals too.

Despite a rumor swirling earlier this week that the Patriots have already chosen to part ways with him, one NFL insider says New England hasn’t decided what Bill Belichick’s future with the organization looks like.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported on Saturday night that owner Robert Kraft’s decision on whether to keep his head coach has yet to be made. He said a determination may not come for at least another month.

“While the expectation is that a decision on his future will play out over the next month,” Rapoport said, “sources also say it could take longer than that.”

Right. All good teams lose key talent.

OP insinuated that wasn’t the case. Back when the Jets were actually good, they lost a bunch. Just like the Pats. Just like the Chiefs and Dolphins will.
