  2. Tom E Curran sucks… really sucks

    Never forget he wanted to trade down from 3 and take JJ McCarthy 🤡

  3. I think anyone in Bill’s position would have done the same thing. Yea did he make bone head decisions after Brady left? Yes, He kinda f him self by hiring inept coaches that kissed his ass. It’s all about power and control. If he have hired a offensive coordinator that was any decent at the system they like to run bill and Mac would still be with the pats.

  4. Well, the joke is on us, because BB proved all his doubters wrong by turning around the UNC program. Look how much they love him down there.

  6. This fucking loser didn’t eviscerate shit. A bad end to a career doesn’t erase the 2 decades of coaching the greatest franchise of all time.

  7. Bill’s success got to him. He thought everything he touched turned to gold. And it led to very bad decisions the last 5 years

  8. Why is this sub so hell bent on hating belichick? It’s fucking weird.

    Like boo fucking hoo the team sucked his last few years, I guess the previous twenty don’t mean shit

  11. I don’t disagree with most points made but will point out we seem to have collectively forgotten how great Belichick’s defensive plan was against the Rams in that last Super Bowl.

    Brady didn’t win a Super Bowl the moment he untethered from Belichick, he joined an awesome team that had every ingredient except the QB and won a Super Bowl as a team.

    I get we’re all angry at Bill but we can simultaneously point out his shortcomings and the sheer insanity of his failed UNC tenure without casting him as a demon who terrorized the Pats for decades. He won us six Super Bowls, got old, started fucking up, and has been unable to deal appropriately with the fact that he’s aged. That’s fundamentally different than casting him as some primordial villain in the ooze.

  12. Putting Matty P and Joe Judge in charge of the offense Mac’s second year will go down in history as one of the dumbest football decisions ever made.

  15. Yes Bill was bad at the end, this is a fact. But Tom Curran also wanted JJ over Drake so he’s kinda full of shit too.

  16. It’s fair to criticize Belichick but it shouldn’t come off as personal, especially when Curran wasn’t involved. Just another hack these days.

  17. I honestly don’t even care how bad Bill fucked things up in the last years we had him, guy had 5 bad years in a 24 year stint that included 6 superbowls

  18. Maybe it’s just me but I don’t like making strong conclusions about people without hearing their perspective. Like how many times in our lives have we taken the word of someone we trust (friend, gf, family member, etc.) about another person then it turns out there’s mountains of context missing?

  19. Imagine having this much hate for a Head Coach that helped bring 6 championships to the franchise.

    Some of y’all need help.

  21. To be fair he did that his first year in New England and almost every year he was hc/gm so I’ll take it

  22. Curran is still pissed that he lost his only Pats source, Brady’s father, which rendered him irrelevant. He’s the only beat guy who can’t let it go and jumps at any opportunity to beat the same dead horse that he’s been pounding on for years.

    It’s amazing to me that a significant portion of Pats fans (the vast majority of whom are likely 35 years old or younger) are trying to rewrite history and are embarrassing themselves by calling him a fraud and actually believing that he was never a good head coach, just because he has fallen on hard times. Ungrateful morons who don’t deserve to enjoy any future team success.

    Bill is a victim of his own stubbornness and, yes, arrogance. He was unwilling to recognize that it is impossible in today’s NFL to fill as many roles as he was still filling for the organization. Running a franchise is simply too complex. He spread himself too thin and was no longer able to do all of his jobs at a high level. This was most evident in his role as final decision-maker and player personnel. Starting draft prep in January was no longer adequate and that was reflected in the decline of his draft success. If he had been willing to hand over the GM role, and final say, to Caserio or former personnel guy whom he trusts, he may still be head coach but that was never going to happen. Bill didn’t adapt and so his Pats career died.

    None of those post 2019 struggles wipe away the 20 years of brilliant game plans, brilliant in-game decisions/adjustments and player development. Idiot Pats fans trying to argue that he was never a brilliant head coach and that he was only carried by Brady, ignoring the numerous anecdotes regarding his brilliance by his players (including Brady), fellow Pats coaches and staff member and opposing coaches, pisses me off that I root for the same team as those miserable dipshits.

    Finally, Curran using the attempted Gronk trade as a negative is utter bullshit. Bill recognized that Gronk’s body was starting to fail him and that he was no longer the greatest tight end of all time, as Curran was trying to pretend in another anti-Bill diatribe. He also probably recognize that his commitment to football and wearing us to put his body on the line was starting to wane. Trading that version of Gronk to the Lions for a high first round pick would’ve been a master stroke

  23. Tom is an idiot. Bill is arguably the greatest head coach of all time and one of the best gms aswell. Criticizing the bad of someone who was so great for so long is not a valid argument especially when most of your criticism of him is what made him a great coach/gm.

  25. I mean I don’t disagree with any of his points but he does just cherry pick all these 20/20 hindsight negatives. Bill was still doing a lot of things good but man these are some pretty nasty points with merit

  28. Tom Curran is a total jackass who gives a flying fck what he says . He’s saying everything we all knew we don’t need to be told by a media hack . He’s been so wrong so many times but he acts like a GM . Yeah I’m not impressed with his act .

  29. Tom Curran needs to stfu or say it to his face. Those super bowls trump anything he’s ever done.

  30. Curran implies Brady left because he was mad at Bill personally. Brady left because there was nothing left of the team and due to cap restrictions the Pats had very limited resources to put a SB worthy team around him, so he bailed and went somewhere that could

  31. I see Curran has picked a new target after talking an absurd amount of shit about Maye the past two years. Including slobbering all over JJ McCarthy at the same time.

    Ignore this troll.

  32. Curran makes some good points but there’s also a lot of revisionist bullshit in that rant as well. I still think the ‘Bill ran Brady out of town’ is one of the dumbest fucking narratives ever because it strips Brady of any agency to make decisions for himself. “Oh I can play with Nkeal Harry or I can play with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin?” What a hard choice!

  34. This is the dumbest conversation possible. Belichick was not ALLOWED to do what he wanted, so ultimately there is no way to know how what he wanted would have worked out. If we trade Mac, sign Mayfield, keep Matty P and end up winning then he was right. But we will never know and that is Kraft’s fault, period. The media will never go against Kraft, they won’t get access to the team, people need to wake up to this dynamic already. They don’t just dislike Bill, they also really have no choice career wise.

  35. Curran’s a twat with an ax to grind with Belichick for making him look like the dunce he is for two decades. He’s taken some factual info and added in his own shading to try to twist the knife deeper because every time he’s actually been face to face with the man he comes off looking like a whipped puppy. Fuck Curran.

    On a related note, why does this douchebag still have a job? He’s the single worst Patriot’s beat reporter and has been for as long as I can remember him being around. The only people I know who like the guy are the kinds of people that revel in their own ignorance and are so stupid they confuse being objectively incorrect with having a “hot take.”

  37. Just shows how great Brady and Belichick were that going to two Super Bowls and winning one is used as an indication how bad things were.

    I hope we get another coach that is so bad he brings us to two Super Bowls and wins one of them.

  38. All true but he left out the part of Bill taking a losing franchise to a household name for the country giving a low level sports journalist (Tom) influence and power to join sports coverage nationwide and worm his way into a career, covering topics like, who’s got a sore knee today….

  39. The ending of his run in New England seems about right. But I’ll take those for the 20 years of magic before that. Man those were some good times!

  40. Just let Bill be an all time coach and stop tearing him down wtf. This fan base is constantly nostalgic of the instinct to bite the hand that feeds. Let him plow a 20something and take free college money. Who cares?

  41. If people keep puppeting Curran’s garbage we are going to have a white Stephen A Smith on our hands is that what you want?

  42. Why the fuck is everyone always BITCHING? During Bill’s tenure, we won six god damn Super Bowls. Whether it was him or Brady. Whether he botched the team in the final years or not….

    WE HAD—BY FAR—THE GREATEST DYNASTY OF ALL TIME. Shut the fuck up already about the past.

  43. Can people just leave the past behind? Why are we so up in arms and pointing fingers all these years later…

    We’ll blame Belichick for the Eagles super bowl loss but not mention his masterclass gameplans in either Rams super bowls? Also, if we’re pointing fingers based on hindsight statistics, does Brady get the finger pointed at him for Giants superbowl losses?

    I get the bitterness that Bill drove Brady away but I really think people need to move on. The cupboards were empty when Brady left and we were realistically going to be hard pressed to win another superbowl. I’m personally glad he got the Tampa ring and further cemented himself as the GOAT. I think I was resigned to the fact that it likely wasn’t going to happen here.

    We’re now in a spot where we’ve got a great new QB and HC combo. We’ve got a lot to be excited about in the future.

    I really think people should stop bitching an moaning about “what ifs” in the past and look back on the Brady-Bill years for what they were. The greatest HC and QB combo leading the greatest dynasty in NFL history…

  45. I think BB is as responsible for the dynasty as Brady. But Bill just lost it toward the end. Whatever the reason may have been. GOAT coach to me but the later years were a disaster of his making.

  46. Ill take two dynasties and 6 super bowls over the coarse of 25 years in exchange for 4 bad years at the end of the run. Its ok. The cost of doing business. No such thing as perfection. If he was so bad…let me ask you this question. Go back in history to 1999/2000. Do you sign him and give him full GM and coaching authority, knowing what you know now?
