10 months agoThe mvp of this season is so obviously Tyreek Hill and I think people are getting way too carried away with this narrative that “skill positions can’t win MVP” even though everybody including the NFL knows Tyreek deserves it this year.
I think there’s a couple factors that are influencing this:
The failures of these patriots teams are heavily on Belichick’s hands. The Matt Patricia OC era was completely unforgivable and while you can blame that on Patricia himself for the bad offense you really have to blame Bill for placing him there in the first place. As a GM, Bill has done a very poor job in almost every area. So not only do these patriots lack talent because of Bill, but the offense specially is struggling because of Bill’s complete lack of effort/incompetency in fixing it. Week to week, he’s definitely still an amazing defensive coach, and his defenses are incredibly well put together, but that’s one half of a football team.
The patriots have dominated for so long, that everybody roots on their downfall probably 10 times as hard as any other team. Only the cowboys (for whatever reason) get even close to as much hate as the pats get. For two decades people have been wanting to see the day where they can watch the patriots and go “Wow this guy needs to be fired!!! This team stinks!”
