I get what you're saying and you are absolutely right but This year seems to be different. NE had more players opt out than any other team. How many games have they lost over the last 10 years???? Starting in 2010 ...2,3,4,4,4,4,2,3,5,4. They are already at 4 losses this year thru 7 games. BB is under .500 career without TB. It's now coming to light what was driving the success of the organization . Gronk retired because he was sick of BB. Brady wanted out and got his wish. BB needs to be a Defensive Coordinator some where. That's where his talent is but we all know there's no way he could stoop that low. Now the problem is ,if the Pat's go 8-8 this year and 8-8 next year then his legacy takes a huge hit. Just my 2 cents.
