Patriots will go without coordinators

Here's a way for Bill Belichick and Amos Alonzo Stagg to be mentioned in the same sentence.

In a move straight out of the leather-helmet era, the New England Patriots have revealed they won't have any coordinators for 2010. No offensive, no defensive, no special teams

the thing is, the Patriots aren't the same anymore. Rodney Harrison, imo, has been replaced. Meriweather is a very good SS. but they haven't replaced Seymour. Wilfork could be on his way out. Adalius Thomas sucks. Mayo is good. their Defense is weak. and Welker will miss a few games next season. Moss is still Moss, but he can be shutdown. the Patriots are beatable, and are no longer scary

I think its amazing that people can call your team "average" and "not the same as it used to be" the last 2 seasons when you have put up 10 plus wins in each. That just shows you how great of a organization that is.

u can win as many games as you want in the regular season, but if u don't when in the playoffs u failed. case and point-- the 2008 Carolina Panthers.

Thats not the point. 31 teams fail every season. Im saying its pretty amazing you can put up 10 plus wins in 2 seasons and thats considered average for your team.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
