You forgot Tom Brady.
I think the wheels could easily come off. People are going to lose faith in bill, I think that faith was shaken quick when they traded one of their leaders a few days before the season started. It's easy to lose faith when you're losing, especially when the player you traded is directly connected to one of their reasons for playing so poorly.

It could be worse, we could be the raiders

You guys lost by more points than us. LOL SUCKS TO SUCK BIIIIIITCH
I'd be excited if I was Allen.
Tom has declined, but not as bad as the personell and management around him has made it look. Nobody could succeed with this line- not peyton, not A-rod, not Luck. No Receivers, no backs, and worst of all no line.

Shut up
Chan will be hired next.

Completely agree, but since it does, it should at least be less shitty.
And yet, somehow this awful team (by my own accord), won against them. The raiders are the undisputed worst franchise in the last 10 years of the NFL. Again Trash talk is for losers, but keep beating that drum.

Sparano will probably take over as interim in the meanwhile
I don't think Mankins would help this line either.

Luck's o-line has been trash from day one, he'd be alright.

Ship the Raiders to San Antonio. Shuffle the whole team. Grab Mariota in the draft. Find the football version of Greg Poppovich. Enjoy success in Texas for the next two decades.
Pat's were projected to be a power in the AFC. Plenty of media guys had them projected to go to or win the Superbowl.
On the flip side, anyone paying attention saw this coming. There was a lot of hype around the Pat's defense coming into the season, but I knew it was bad simply because the DL is not a good unit. If you can't get pressure, then guys like Revis don't matter. If you can't stop the run, teams will run it down your throat, and then once you think a run is coming they'll open up the pass on you. It all pretty much starts on that line.
I thought the offense would get it together as they have some playmakers, but it looks pretty bad at this point. Obviously could turn it around, as it's still early, but if teams like Oakland are hanging around with you, and KC is pissing on your steak, those are definitely warning signs that all is not right in the world.
Let's be fair, Allen got what? 2+ years? That's not a super short time for how completely awful they looked. McKenzie has to go too though.

I agree... and many fans, while loving what Bill brought to the org, are also suspicious of his capriciousness.
But, while the wheels could come off, I don't think that putting Jimmy Garoppolo into that position is any better than having Tom Brady be in that position.
I don't think he would make much of a difference, but he'd have more fight, add some edge, and some damn consistency. The rotations right now are mind boggling, every single set it's a new group and they're moving all over the line, rotating cannon from guard to tackle, rotating centers, tackles switching sides, etc.
Unfortunate, because nobody could coach that group to anything the way they're built. I thought they should've stuck with Tom Cable, but I didn't get to watch him much.

Brady has been spoiled by great o-lines his entire career. Welcome to a day in the life of Ryan Tannehill.

I thought so too but i've reconsidered. McKenzie just dumped a truckload of salary, then signed a bunch of washed up vets to get to the Salary floor. His plan is much more long term than the current team on the field.

Belichik laughed off the question of evaluating the quarterback position.
Eh, Patriots offensive line was in the bottom 5 from 1999 - 2001. Bledsoe was the most sacked QB for the first 3 weeks of 2001. Brady came in and suddenly the league-worst offensive line was competent. He inherited garbage but was able to get rid of the ball quickly and had a good offensive gameplan. He had a strong OLine from 2003 -> 2007. The Oline has gotten worse and worse since 2008, and the gameplan didn't change in a meaningful way. It was terrible last season, a bottom 10 O-line. This year it's the worst in the NFL thus far.

he laughed because garappolo is clearly better and everyone could see that clear as day!
O I agree, I've been arguing that they flip Tom and Gronk for some picks, sign a veteran tank out the rest of the season, Tom will have something to compete with elsewhere and not waste away here, and we can use the picks to build something for Jimmy and see what he has next year.
No humble pie here, lol unfortunate that I'm a pats fan since I get lumped into that, but I've been calling this for a while now.
I didn't argue that, read my post above. A fraud has to be in position pretending to be something else. They got exposed from day one, but they're 2-2 they're not projecting as anything right now, they got blown the fuck out, they have a terrible offense, and they barely beat the raiders... there's no fraud here, they're bad people have been questioning them, they were the underdogs tonight. That word is thrown around way too much in NFL gaf.
You haven't been watching this line then. I agree their line could be better, it's not this bad, period. Watch the games, no bias here it's just that bad. On top of that, Luck has had Reggie wayne (still going strong), TY hilton, and a handful of other competent players along the way.
