If Jake bailey is healthy we probably win and that’s wild

He wanted to play...

 

[EverettMike]

I hated everything about this team and this dumb, horribly coached team.

According to him, he is healthy

 

[GoBs]

Bruins play tonight, can we bury this thread?

What an absolute waste of a season. Complete waste of time.

I don't know what else people need to see. Bill Belichick has one playoff win in his entire career without Tom Brady and it was against a QB he couldn't wait to get rid of here.

When you lose to the Bears at home, the Raiders the way they did, special teams debacle every week, fumbling against the Bengals. It's over. Happens to everyone.

 

[LouJersey]

Well the Bears won’t draft Young ? Do they still have pick

Deal for a windfall

 

[Johnnyduke]

According to him, he is healthy

Another debacle

 

[mar2kbos]

He wasn’t wrong though

That’s your opinion. There were others that agreed with me. There is no wrong opinion here. That’s what the site is for, but we do have group of posters certainly trying to pretend their opinions are fact and run out anyone that doesn’t conform and cower to their opinions.

A trash team finishes the season exactly how you’d expect, with a whimper instead of a growl. Mercifully, it’s all over. With Bill and his singularity still running things, I don’t see how this gets any better.

Pats played a gutsy good game.

Officials get primary assist on 2nd kickoff return and two clear (non) calls going against Pats. Game should have come down to a game winning FG one way or another.

Thought Pat have had their chances.... but IMO Jones did not play to the needed level.!!! the story is their imo

*Scouting and player selection needs to be addressed.

*The coaching staff needs to be addressed.

We haven’t even talked about the actual roster yet…

Boy would I love to be in the room when Bob, Jon, and Bill get together. I can’t imagine that meeting doesn’t happen this week.

At the end of the day, they never beat anybody.

Feasted on the Jets for the upteenth consecutive season.

Their “extra” interconference game was against the Cardinals with no Murray.

Tua gets hurt again so you avoid him in the home finale.

As Bill Parcells famously said “You are what your record says you are.”

Unfortunately they are not trash. They are in the middle of no mans land of no picks

This was his best game played against Buffalo.

The best the offense looked. Play action was called more and Mac did well. Almost like he did last year. This loss is not on him. We lost the game when special teams gave up the 2nd returned touchdown.

Yeah defense is pretty good, their offense and special teams are below average.

The difference with good teams and bad teams is bad teams choke at the important times. They were full of those important chokes this season. The lateral being the icing on the choke cake.

Cam Achord needs to be fired as does Matt Patricia.

Bu tdid not deliver when is was needed. Over thrown, pass behind, bad interception etc..
If that was his best, well I feel for the Pat's.!

I agree... that is what I saw today.
I lost my bet.... was sur Pat would upset the Bills....

 

[CDJ]

outside the asinine 2nd and 20 draw I actually thought that was Patricia’s best game

He still can’t be OC next year tho

You hate everything so this post doesn’t carry much weight

Gotta love moral victories

I honestly have no words for this. Like none. LOFL

Comparatively speaking when compared to the rest of this run. You're spot on about them being in no man's land draft wise, but even if they were a bad team with a high pick, do you trust Bill to not make a reach with the pick? Or more likely, trade it for 2 2nds and a 4th?

 

[TD Charlie]

A supremely mid team going roughly .500 - to be expected

They have become the type of team they used to beat up on. It doesn’t take a great team to beat the mediocre job squads, you just gotta wait until they do something stupid.
