New England Patriots

[stevenash]

Disgraceful performance again.

I'll say it again, if the offense were a sandwich it'll be white American Cheese on Wonder Bread with mayo.

Belichick is hanging on for Shula's record, the owner doesn't have the balls to shit can him either.

Without question thee most boring team ever.

[mjsuax13]

They are awful and it’s time to start fresh. Both coach and QB have to go.

[lakerboy]

He was helping Washington because he is going there lol

[Da Manster!]

BB is 71 years old. I love the guy and the man has won 7 SB titles. not to mention is a HOF coach and one of the greatest of all-time. cut him some slack. He will probably retire after this year (at least he should). Having said that, I'm not sure why he still continues to stick with Mac Jones. Bailey Zappe seemed to give them a little bit of a spark last year and then promptly got benched again. From the outside looking in, there seems to be some tension and some kind of rift going on between those two. (of course I could be wrong. it's pure conjecture on my part)

Hey LB! Just remember I called it first! A few weeks ago on 10-10-23! On Jibby's "What happened to the NE Patriots" thread! and then KLC posted that article yesterday! Maybe I influenced someone?...Proof that pro scouts, GM's and head coaches read posts here on SBR! I kid, I kid!

I was just about to bring up Andy Reid! Same exact scenario and same comments and insults from everyone alike. Reid is washed up, the game has passed him by, blah, blah, blah...but I would say Andy Reid rebounded rather nicely wouldn't you? Ditto for BB...He needs a change a scenery and a breath of fresh air. As a diehard skins fan, here is what I'm hoping and dreaming (a punchers chance that it might happen...I'm being very optimistic mind you)...Ron Riviera gets shitcanned this year after another failure. BB is not retained by the Pats. Our new ownership group led by Josh Harris lures BB to DC and makes him an offer he can't refuse! BB was born and raised in Annapolis, Maryland! (only 30 - 35 minutes from DC)...My neck of the woods for the last 35+ years before moving to Cyprus. and then hopefully having some humility and dignity left, reaches out to Tom Brady and apologizes for all of the diva drama bullshit that happened the last couple of years in New England. and Josh Harris gives Brady a contract he can't turn down laced with lucrative incentives and bonuses! and the Redskins next season get the dynamic duo back together again for one last ride into the sunset!

Got the right QB. Side of Mac & Cheese.

My belief is that the HC is beyond being fired. I think Kraft will ask him "What do you want to do next yr?"

He can't stay. Will either Coach a different team OR be on TV next year.

When exactly does the statue of limitations expire for Belichick?
He's six games under .500 for the first time in 23 years.

The game has past him by.

they said the same thing about Andy Reid too when he was in Philadelphia! he was too old, he was washed up, the game has past him by, etc. Well, we all know how that turned out. He got the last laugh. I think BB just needs a breath of fresh air and a change of scenery. I can almost promise you once Robert Kraft decides to part ways with him (probably at the end of this season), there will be a handful of teams vying for BB's services!

Name three?

[Snowball]

Belichick is the most overrated, ACCIDENTAL winner in NFL history.

He's also a jerk and a cheat.

Who still believes the 1985 Bears style of defense or 1986 NYG style of defense wins Super Bowls.

The mullett went out of style 40 years ago.

Manny, you know I love you dude but the difference between Andy Reid and BB is Reid understands offense, BB is clueless when his team has the football.

[Da Manster!]

Name three?

Commanders, Bears, Bucs, Raiders, Cardinals, are all potential candidates. I'm of course assuming there will be some firings or vacancies after the season. Maybe a couple of more teams if they don't perform well or meet expectations.

Cardinals just hired their coach, they are not firing him. Plus, they have played well for the most part with an awful roster. Arizona already paying Kingsbury at least 4 more years as well.

Tampa is a mess, he's not going there. Washington has some players, the Bears will have top picks, and what about the Chargers if they implode again?

Belichick is more stubborn than Andy Reid. Andy always a bit more creative with his offenses.

Bill Belichick does need a change of scenery. He should find a new younger girlfriend and a beach. A change of scenery…

Also- Reid has Mahomes. Belichick had Brady. Without them…

He should have quit two years ago after the playoff loss to Buffalo. That was always going to be his high point in NE post-Brady. That way, he could have sat a year or two and awaited some openings. Now, he really can't sit out at his age, he'd have to take a job next year.

A couple of darkhorse candidates would be the Chargers and Cowboys. We all know how Staley is on the hot seat with LA and we all know how Jerry Jones is chomping at the bit to win another Lombardi trophy and his team is definitely built to win NOW! Maybe BB can work some magic with actual talent. Again, this is all merely conjecture on my part. We shall see moving forward.

100% agree.

[budwiser]

That play wasn't on Belichik, Mack Jones' pass was just bad, the Patriot is wide open in the end zone and he throws it to the 1 yard line.

Mac also Jones got screamed at during the game, that didn't help.

But in the end, it's the gm, the coaching staff, that prepare these guys, that pick the draft.

My biggest issue with Belichik this game is not running the ball. Patriots were averaging 4.6 yards a rush, most of it right down the middle. There's no need to put the game in the hands of Mac Jones. Michigan got it figured out against Penn State, not a single rush all 2nd half and won easily. You put the ball in the hands of your best players, and that may not be the quarterback. Of course hindsight is 20/20, the right play was called, the guy was open, I still can't figure out what Mac Jones was thinking

[budwiser]

Here's the video. There is no pressure on Mac Jones, and the receiver is clearly running into the end zone not the end line, it's an easy pass for almost all professional quarterbacks.

There was something going on in his head that only he saw. Everyone is looking around because they can't believe he threw that pass. Belichik has no choice imo but to start Zappe.

[ex50warrior]

Yep, can't blame Bill for that!!

[johnnyvegas13]

U think zap starts next week???

[Ian]

U think zap starts next week???

Only if the Patriots want to tank to get to get Caleb Williams or Drake Maye. Zappe looked great last year when he started against the worst defenses the Patriots played all season. Every other time he's been in he's been awful. Mac Jones is at least very good at short passes.

Just my opinion...

Not only that but Andy Reid is wise enough to know he's not a General Manager.

[The_Mr-B_]

Just put 100 cwt on futures bet for Belichick as new HC Wash Commanders for '24 season. Hopefully name is changed back to Redskins by then too. It pays 12012 cwt if I win. Thats enough car wash tokens to last me years!

[stevenash]

BB has drafted 11 QB's in the past 20 years after that nice system QB out of Michigan, Tom Brady.

Rohan Davey
Kliff Kingsbury
Matt Cassel
Kevin O'Connell
Zac Robinson
Ryan Mallett
Jimmy G.
Jacoby Brissett.
Danny Etling
Will Stidham
Mac Jones

10 out of 11 bricks.
Bill knows offense.

[Snowball]

Don Shula 526 games
Career: 347–173–6 (.665)
Bill Belichick 504 games
Career: 331–173 (.657)
22 games difference.
Belichick would have to win 17/22 in order to eclipse Shula in same number of games coached.

Ain't happening.

At least Bill has never settled for a sissy ass tie.

[JIBBBY]

Billy lacks talent to coach up. Period. Not having Tom Brady anymore is part of the problem also.

[budwiser]

Bill should take a few years off, get some perspective. He doesn't smile anymore, and most importantly he has enough money, there's no need to coach. Refresh the batteries and come back better
Then again, why cry for the rich and famous

Coaching is what makes him happy, he's been doing it practically his entire life.

He'd probably go nuts sitting at home 24/7 with his wife if he retired and had nothing to do.
