Patriots having a projected top 3 pick is a foreign language to fans like myself. Was born in 2001 and all I’ve known is the Patriots being competitive. Things eventually have to change though and now it’s time to rebuild.
But for the older Patriots fans who witnessed the low years before the dynasty, how does this team compare to them? We had some real stinker years in 90 and 92 winning 3 games combined. Along with a few years of 5-11 and 6-10 throughout those times as well.
Is this the lowest you’ve seen or it still doesn’t compare to some of the pre Brady era Patriots?
No. the Rod Rust team was the worst Patriots team of all time.
A 100% completely dysfunctional operation from the owner on down to the water boy, without any positive aspects whatsoever. Poor effort, poor execution, poor roster building, poor coaching, terrible discipline, cancerous locker room notorious for sexually harassing a female reporter, which the owner handled by calling her a “classic bitch”.
They didn’t just lose games, they lost their humanity. It was a collection of malcontents and assholes, and everyone was to blame.
This team has a decent defense, that plays hard, and while the offense is completely broken, players are still trying to play well and don’t appear to have completely given up.
The coach/GM is certainly up for criticism but is probably getting as much out of this terrible roster as is possible.
