Yeah lol he’s only had 3 seasons without Brady as Pats coach. 2000 where he inherited a really bad team 2008 where he went 11-5 with Matt Cassell 2020 where he went 7-9 after losing Brady during the plague.
Brady gonna ride out his Bucs contract and then in 2026 at 49 gonna come back to the Pats on a one year deal and win another SB then retire. Book it.
tbf that fieldgoal had the distance. would have been in if like another foot to the right. still the wrong call though
It was also after they went 16-0…. I mean the 11-5 and losing the division isn’t the argument, the top defenses is a better argument. But honestly the 20 year run of winning it does look like Brady was a huge a part of that. I don’t know how you can separate the two though.
Okay, I know you’re a troll, but this is definitely the dumbest thing you have said on this thread, which is really, really saying something. Cam doesn’t score a point on a defense that can’t cover outside passes but destroys running up the middle.
Even if you’re gonna kick you have a timeout and can at least TRY to generate a jump from the Bucs or something and see if you can get a free 1st and close the distance a bit. I dunno. Maybe I’m dumb (I am) but I just can’t see how it could be the right decision to go straight to the kick there
Of course he was but pretending like Belichick is JAG at this point is kinda a joke when you look at what an average coach in the NFL looks like.
Maybe the thinking is they’re expecting it to be a draw kinda tactic so going straight to the kick actually limits the rush?
Could be, yeah. Or maybe they were having communication issues and he got antsy about the false starts and didn’t wanna accidentally create even more distance
