OT Down goes Brady

Deepster said:
Again. All sounds good.

But look at UConn. As dominant in the sport over 10-15 years. And now that those days are in the rear view window, people are calling for players heads when they have a bad half and miserable with .500 mediocrity.

Hope you learn from it when the Pats are 5-11 for a decade.

We were never dominant for 10-15 years. We always had a stinker every 3-4 years. You must thinking of the women.

Brady is not retiring

I can't imagine Brady wants to leave the Patriots, highly improbable

I know Kraft loves Brady and wants him to retire with the Patriots. He'll do what he can to make him stay

The issue might be Belichick, who's a ruthless roster manager. Does he think Tom's game has regressed to the point he doesn't want him back? I don't think so but I'm no Bill Belichick

Maybe Brady wants a multiyear commitment which Belichick opposes

My gut tells me they get it done, which is great for the Patriots because Brady is at his best with a chip on his shoulder, and next year is a chip year

They really don’t have a Brady replacement now that Jimmy G is gone.

You realize you're going back to 1975 here.

Do you even realize that was 45 years ago?

It shouldn't be a surprise that a team has fans that weren't around in 75!

Now, I am not a fan who's been following them since the Grogan days. I started following them when Plunkett was the QB.

My dad took me to my first NFL game at Schaefer vs the Raiders when Plunket was the QB and Otis Sistrunk was Raider. I still see Otis's beer belly being totally uncovered by his jersey. I see Tatum sitting with his back to the crowd giving us both middle fingers above his head.

The first SB party I hosted was the Bears trouncing the Patriots. I was pissed Eason started at QB over Grogan.

I love the hate, brings a smile to my face

They would never have made Jimmy G the highest paid QB in the league

I know. Every Pats fan is a super fan. No one jumped on the bandwagon there. Same goes for the Sox too.

Not everyone in CT associates with New York. I hate New York City. Can’t stand the place. My dad was transferred to Hartford from KC. So we were football fans. Even college football fans. I still root for Nebraska. We went to Boston as kids and I loved it. So those teams became our teams. And UConn too. And yes, Red Sox too. You act like they sucked. Other than the Yankees they had the most wins in my lifetime. They were hardly hard to root for.

Love your post, except the bashing of NYC. We're lucky to live between two of the greatest cities in the world, and two of the most passionate fan bases in the states

I love both cities

The schadenfreude in this thread slays me, especially in the face of the not-so-subtle amount of hypocrisy that goes along with it.

Are the Giants playing next week?

I don't begrudge anyone who loves NYC. I just hate the place. I have since my first visit as a kid. Hate the high rises going up in Boston and changing its character as well.

Boston isn't one of the greatest cities in the world. That's the provincialism talking.

The shelves are bare up in Foxboro when it comes to assistant coaches. In the last 10 months, the Patriots have lost the following: WR coach O’Shea, DC Brian Flores, DL coach Brendan Daly, CB coach Josh Boyer, QB coach Jerry Schuplinski, ST coach Judge, a few other assistant assistants, and soon perhaps OC Josh McDaniels. Also may lose the new DL coach Bret Bielema.

Would not surprise me if OL coach Dante Scarnecchia retired.

So we'd only have RB Coach Ivan Fears, LB Coach Jerod Mayo, DB Coach Steve Belichick left.

Wow--eye opener.

O’Shea just got fired by Miami. Could come back. My guess though is that Josh will move on and Bill will want to implement a different offense that is less complex and doesn‘t require quite as much pre and post snap adjustment from the receivers. It is too hard to find players that can execute that offense. It’s why Flores fired O’Shea.

I expect BB to run his defense and bring in new blood at OC.

You could be right, but I will only say that Belichick has been a coach on a team with this kind of offense since he got to the Giants in '79.

This is the same RayPerkins/RonErhardt/Ernie Zampese/Charlie Weis offense that has been around since forever, and Belichick -- who has a huge hand in the offense -- has been a coach with this offense his entire career.

So, if he does change offenses, he'll be an old dog learning new tricks.

If he's going to change offenses, then he better hope teams are squeamish about Tua's hip injury so he drops to their 23rd pick. You know Belichick would swing for the fences there.

Zampese is affiliated with Don Coyell not Erhardt-Perkins. Much more wide open passing attack.

I'm not sure the overall system needs to change. I don't believe it is inherently complicated or was with the Giants or Steelers. I think the wrinkles are 100% Tom Brady based. The defensive reads and adjustments being aligned with how Brady sees the field. You have to move on from that and allow more creativity and playmaking.

When Brady first became the QB, the Pats ran something much closer to a West Coast offense. Even since then, the traditional Erhardt-Perkins approach is run first with very few throws to RBs. Yet the Patriots are very much heavy on throwing to the backs. So I don't think they really run the Erhardt system at this time, even if they use that nomenclature. Maybe they will get back to it.

And yes, I think he'd take Tua if he falls that far. I am convinced he wants mobility at QB.

More Boston cheating....

Report: Red Sox used replay room to steal signs in 2018 season

The Athletic, citing anonymous people who were with the Red Sox in 2018, reported that Boston players would visit the replay room to decipher their opponents' sign sequence and then relay the information to the dugout.

Everyone knows the Red Sox have been cheating, Cora was the Stros bench coach. This won't stop until the leagues blast the hell out of the cheating franchises.

You get caught with roids and it's an automatic 80 game suspension, 2nd time and full season ban, third time and lifetime ban. Make the penalty for cheating the same or harsher.

There's only one the matters, the rest come and go year after year after year after year

I remember when the loss of Charlie Weiss was going to be devastating, especially to Brady

Rob Parker is a Brady hater for whatever reason. He's a Crank Yanker puppet. He, like Max Kellerman (Also a CYP) said Brady was about to fall off a cliff...four years ago. Brady only led his team to three Super Bowls, winning two, and a League MVP, 3-5 years after what is considered a typical retirement point for an aging QB, let alone any other non-kicking superstar football player.

Whatever your point was, using Rob Parker does not strengthen it. Brady is not in his prime. Clearly, but at 42, Brady has not fallen off any cliff, is still a top 5 QB, and and probably will be next year as well at 43.

I find him entertaining, Kellerman not so much. People getting pissed at the Rob Parkers, Skip Bayless of the world are the reason they are making millions. I never said I agreed with Parker,all I did was post this video, no need to get all defensive and act like Brady is your son. Unikely Brady is a top 5 qb next year when he wasnt a top 10 qb this year, even though you can say he didnt have the weapons and all.
