Lessons learned from the Patriots.

Belichick and Brady aside. Here are off the top of my head what they are good at. Oh remove spying too.

They have athletic versatile players on both sides of the ball.

They get something in return when they let players go.

They aren't afraid to go with the hot hand and they rotate guys in so they get touches to at least get hot. 

They wrap up tackles.

They don't shoot themselves in the foot.

They don't get caught up in the draft hype. They draft guys that fit THEIR system.

Im sure I'm missing some.

Just this season they got rid of Jamie Collins and chandler jones and got basically nothing for them. 

Basically nothing is better than absolutely nothing. New England is great at flipping players turning scrap heap into art.

People hate to give credit to how good Belicheat and Brady really are.  Brady has this mad desire to prove he is the greatest and that desire never fades.  somehow that team just turns $hit into apple butter when it comes to players and thats all on coaching. I've come to terms with  the fact that this franchise will never be great like the Steelers once were and the Patriots are now. Our owner is too cheap and too content on what they feel is consistency.

But Richardson wants to follow the Steelers' model of success. No, bitch NE is THE Franchise id do my damned hardest to emulate. An Owner who backs his QB, an organization that disdains losing, etc. When was the last time the Pats went 6-10? 7-8-1?

Agree on all but the last part. This franchise may never be a dynasty under the current owner, but he won't be around forever. And the team must be sold after his demise, so it'll get new ownership blood and let's hope it is an owner who has the desire to win Lombardi's as much as we as fans want them.

Bellichck never stopped coaching...he said he was making a adjustments in the 1st quarter....I saw him with photos talking with his  DL early, as well as thumbing thru more photos late in the game

players make plays, and the pats players made great ones, but graet coaches put them in the right position to do so

our coaches are like Shenahan in that we don't have the feel for the game as it progresses...while Brady is the GOAT, Bellichk is just so much better than anybody we have 

also...hope the falcons take a decade to recover from this

This game proved why the Patriots are renowned for their game planing in the build up to games and during games. They had a plan A, B, and C. They had issues with the Falcons stunts and delayed blitzes early on and made adjustments. They started running empty sets, no huddle, James White, crossing routes. On Defense, they abandoned zone and started doing press man so that they could force Ryan to hold onto the ball, which lead to key sacks late in the game. I like Ron as a person but he will just be there on the sideline crossing his arms and say "missed opportunities". As a poster already mentioned, players do have to execute but coaches also have to put them in position to make plays. I'm tired of "we do what we do" and not worry about how the defense is attacking us.

    • Didn't know where to post this but it is panthers relevant since eventually we'll have a couple wr in Coker and tmac that will get paid. Jaxon Smith-njigba just signed a 4 year $168.6 million contract extension that now makes him the highest paid wr in nfl history. For now
    • Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.
    • II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.
