Brady sucks this year though

shaky OL, bad RBs and injured FB and loss of Gronk (as a blocker and receiver) added up to it all

not to mention banking on AB and then cutting him and then cut JG and gave away a 2nd round for Sanu to catch punts
---

you can make excuses or use your eyes

Imagine being this upset at being 10-2.

Like literally imagine.
---

his coaching makes up for his deficiencies at drafting, there is no denying he's the reason we won 6 SBs

but if he had help with team building we could be looking at 8 or 9, hell if we got rid of Matt Patricia earlier we might not have got blown out by the Eagles, if we got an actual GM we might have drafted more than just Trey Flowers in the last 5 or so years

if we could have drafted just a tiny bit better the past 2 years we wouldn't be looking at this year as Brady's last
---

well I'm sure it's a rude awakening knowing they aren't the best team anymore, or a shoo-in for the superbowl
---

Wouldnt surprise me if patriots some how still win Super Bowl even if Brady dose stink

it's not really if you watch the games, Brady is still Brady

he's going to leave and win rings with the 49ers and we'll go 8-8, 6-10, 9-7 and Belitrash will retire

the dynasty was always going to end, but it didn't have to end this way
---

unironically calling the greatest coach in the history of football "Belitrash" is mind blowing to me.

What have you been fucking watching for the last 20 years

I've been watching Belichick the coach drag Belitrash the GM's ass to the SB kicking and screaming and barely scrape by much more talented opponents, very impressive, but a lot of those games would have been much cleaner if Belitrash wasn't the GM
---

Be glad you had a dynasty at all

It's a luxury not many teams get to experience. Quite honestly it "deserves" to go up in a fiery ball for how successful it was.

they could have both retired after last year and I would be satisfied >_>
---

Some people haven't ignored Granzon yet huh

anyway Belichick made the playoffs once without Brady (in Cleveland) and has a losing regular season record. The dynasty is not all thanks to him

Bills start this season 9-3 and I am so happy :)

Love seeing the Bill's do good ! Still Canada's (unofficial NFL Team imo).

I think you can all still take the division now that would indeed be cool

Oh hey I went to sleep because I was mad that the Pats were getting exposed again.

But now I wake up to find that White got 2 TDs, Edelman got one too so I won in fantasy!

AND the Pats still lost so my Baltimore Lamars have the one seed now.

It's a glorious morning. #blessed
---

Granzon you're like a WEEI caller

my daughter is going to be in third grade, the Patriots have been in the AFC championship every game of her life and they probably have to win one home game in January to keep that rolling. And that's only half of their current run.

why worry about who gets credit for whatever, just enjoy it. Most other teams get a few good years out of their best squads, tops. Baltimore has like 2 good months and they are happier than you've ever been... they're one bad tackle away from having RGIII and RGIV for QBs.

OH MY GOD

SHUT UP

Since I started following football at four years old, my team has won three playoff games, all in the wildcard round. This year was supoosed to be the best the team has been since 1995, and they actually suck.

So yeah, watching Patriots "fans" whine when that team had ten fucking wins before November was even over is pretty pathetic.

I feel like it was less whining and more being realistic on my part.

I'm not part of the "Belichick sucks and the Pats deserve to lose" camp like Granzon.
---

Almost any fan would kill to have Belichick as their teams HC let's be real

I mean, there are reasons to be concerned about this team if you're a Pats fan.

That being said, there were major reasons to be concerned heading into the playoffs last year, too, and they figured it out.
---

If only they had another competent reciever
---

Granzon is showing how truly unsatisfying it is to be carried by the refs. with fair officiating, the Patriots lose to the Bills and Cowboys and are not leading the division right now for the first time in forever.
---

The Bills have faced even worse competition than the Pats up to this point, if we consider the Pats frauds they'll have gone through the entire season playing one "great" team in the Ravens next week. At the very least, they're just as overrated as the Pats are.
---

Would anyone actually trust Josh Allen to win a playoff road game?

Especially given that it will probably be against Deshaun Watson or Patrick Mahomes.

Man, those are three teams with some tortured playoff histories (or lack thereof).
---

The Chiefs have a history of bombing out in the playoffs to the Ravens, so I'm curious to see if it'll happen again. Especially since they're really the only team to make us look bad this year.

Division games are always weird, don't bring up the Browns.
---

Browns are just a weird team.

Insane amounts of talent, insane lack of coaching and consistency.
---

I have never complained about refs lol except that time Aaron Donald ragdolled Brady in the SB and got away with it

like we're the team with the refs in our pocket most of the time and Brady gets calls because someone breathed on him so I'm never going to call out the reffing unless someone tries to murder Brady

and Leon I want Belichick as our coach, just not as the GM

I don't care if we're trash, but at least not waste the last years of a HOF QB like Belitrash is doing. This is almost as bad as Yahoo turning down Microsoft's 44 billion dollar buyout. Windows of opportunity don't stay open forever, we've been lucky to have a 20 year window but it doesn't mean I can't be mad that we've wasted the last few years.
---

Literally wasted years including winning three of the last five Super Bowls and appearing in a fourth

Seriously, go fuck yourself Granzon

These Granzon posts are why people hate Boston fans fyi.

---

Brady is 42, he wants to play until 45, it doesn't matter that we won the SB last year because there's still 3 more years left

Brady has been disrespected for far too long by his coach, you will never see a franchise QB being treated the way he is treated

his best receiver is literally a 33 year old 7th round QB

do Red Sox fans act like this? we win like every other year but I'm not a Red Sox "fan" so I don't really know what it's like

I don't think Celtics or Bruins have any fans, well they do here in Boston but not really on the internet
---

I hate Boston fans most of all as a Toronto sports fan. 9 year old Canadian me had no idea "New England" meant Boston and here we are.

The main reason we lost to the Chiefs was bad coaching. Harbaugh wanted to get cute and overthink things against his former mentor. Assuming he doesnt do that nonsense again, Ravens should win a rematch.

The NHL topic is great, we all take turns venting about how bad all of our favourite teams are.

This is honestly more pathetic than the hate I occasionally get (elsewhere, mind) just for being a Cowboys fan because idiots make the assumption I'm bandwagoning a team that hasn't done anything of note in almost 25 years, instead of living in the area and growing up watching them.

Congratulations, Granzon. You're literally worse than those guys.

Wow you are the fucking worst
---

Before this week I just assumed that this Granzon guy was only some bizarre troll that everyone ignored
---

today I think I will take Granzon's complaining and apply his entire schtick to all Patriots fans
---

what does winning the SB last year have to do with this year and the years to come?

Giants fans can't complain that their team is mismanaged because they won 2 recent SBs?

I legit don't care that we lost to the Texans or will get blown out by the Chiefs and Ravens in the upcoming games. Just really frustrated that it's the lack of talent, and not coaching that brought this on.

hey guess that'll be me in 10 years when we have no Brady or Belichick

Because it shows that you're a little bitch who is never going to be happy because you're always going to be looking for reasons why you might not win the next SB to whine and cry about.
