As a Patriots fan, I couldn’t be more frustrated with how things are going.

It’s clear now that by the time the dynasty was over, Brady was the OC and BB was the DC. That arrangement worked well for them and produced incredible, winning seasons.

When Brady left we should have immediately replaced Josh McDaniels with the best OC money could buy. But we rolled with “we’re smarter than everyone else” for a few years and now the entire thing is a disaster.

I think this is in part Bill’s fault and in part the Krafts’ fault. I think they were right to give Bill a little wiggle room to find his footing after Brady left. But the offense has been atrocious for years and the Krafts should have insisted on (and put up the money for) Bill bringing in top tier talent. We just expected the aura of BB to make things all right.

Bill is a great coach, a great defensive mastermind. But this transition was poorly planned for—either Mac is a bust or is getting terrible coaching and we can’t seem to be able to build even the most basic weapons on offense.
