Patriot's Fan question to the best fans regionally....

Whatta run!

So, who are your top 10 to keep. And Top 10 to discard?

Pressure is on Bill, Tom is leading a brand new team to a potential championship.....would you bet against Tom?

LOL, I wouldn't.

I think the team is getting blown up. See yeah, Bill! Time for the next chapter of our NE team.

So, who would you recommend to replace Bill - HC and/or GM '?

One could say Brady was far more of a success factor for all of the many great years than Bill was - this was a pretty awful coaching year for him, in my opinion.

I've no idea what should be done at this point - Cam is not the answer, apparently Stidham is not either. The run defense and secondary was a sieve.

But - as an all Boston sports fan, it was indeed quite a run - the Celtics probably have the best potential right now for a deep run. Bruins are a big unknown...Red Sox a bigger unknown!!!

Patriots fan since probably 1970, so endured lots of bad seasons
Celtics in the late 60s - again, my grandfather
Bruins - around the great Orr and Esposito years, I baby sat for the neighbors and they had a TV that got channel 38.

I am about to turn 65, so that's a lot of years invested in Boston sports - grew up in Rhode Island, now rooting from North Carolina!

Defensive back Patrick Chung, linebacker Dont'a Hightower, fullback Dan Vitale, running back Brandon Bolden and offensive linemen Marcus Cannon and Najee Toran. All opted out because of covid. Chung and Hightower are irreplaceable on that D. Also Cam is not the future or even the present. If Stidham isn't either we need a new QB. I still trust in Bill and Mr. Kraft.
