Hopefully, he advises Davis to make better management decisions. Way too many changes over his 13 years since taking over for Al. Moves off Rich B after making the PO to hire Josh which didn’t make the players happy then fires Josh in year 2 and hires AP full time at the behest of the players. But really, AP not ready for the HC role. Two wrongs do not make a right basically. So wasted these past 3 seasons.
Those names were just examples. I'm not advocating that the Krafts should hire any of them specifically. But if that's the route they decide to go in, I think they'd need to bring in someone without a lot of ties to the organization who has a track record of success.
This seems a little dramatic and over the top. Can people at least call him cheap? Because he certainly has been (I know, it won't fit your definition of cheap) and that's also a stereotype for what you are talking about.
No. Mayo and Wolf need to leave the building.
I’ve referred to him as “Krafty Bob“ numerous times and never once did I even think of that connection until I read your post. My reasoning for using that nickname has been purely sarcastic, because over the years, he has proven himself many times to be the antithesis of “crafty” when it comes to “football decisions.”
The numbers don’t lie - he HAS been cheap. The Patriots cut corners everywhere they can, and that’s a symptom of the corporate nature of the way the Patriots operate and not anything else. We live in an age of getting less for more in every single corner of life, and the New England Patriots are no different than everything else we consumers are being sold these days.
The calls for Mayo to be fired from the media and the fans are deafening. I don’t care what the “official” word out of Foxborough is - he has to be coaching for his job.
I can understand the pressure he is facing, but it is 100% warranted. Regardless, winning a game against a team playing its backup players isn't something that is going to help him in the eyes of the fans or management. If anything it will likely piss a lot of people off. Ownership probably doesn't want to pay a player taken with the first pick when they can pay less for the 4th........I'm only kidding (not really)
I’m going to need a shower after posting this, but I hope the Bills’ backups score 60 on the Patriots in a hideous loss.I can understand the pressure he is facing, but it is 100% warranted.

I think Hunter is legit. He’s been playing both ways full time all season. Logic would dictate that once he stops that and concentrates on one position, whether that’s WR or CB, he will improve at that position.
Really like Loveland also, but Warren more of a “do it all” TE. Either of them would give Maye an impact player to throw to.
Huge difference between 1st and 4th. You’re right, either way Pats still get “their guy” be it a WR or lineman. At 4 they get their player. At 1, they trade back to 3 or 4, still get their player, and also get a 1st in 2026 and a mix of 2nds/ 3rds. What does this team have to gain playing Maye (whom we all gel our collective breaths last week thinking he was dinged with a concussion) in a meaningless game vs Buffalo’s 2nd and 3rd stringers?
There is teams knowing that if they have the first they know they aren’t drafting a QB so trading teams won’t ask for much in return.
