DD has gotten all the blame for the Sale contract, and there is, or wasn’t anything that Bloom could do about it.
-
I think that they lose at NC this week, and if Pyne doesn’t play well I agree to start bringing the Freshman along. No I don’t believe Buchner is the answer either. Big problem too is that the O Line, and the WR aren’t up to the usually strong ND standards.
-
Playoffs? Did someone say playoffs? Yes sir! Playoffs start in Portland tonight.
-
And coddled.
-
I’m just ready for this season to end, and get to the off season, and see how things shake out.
-
I think it’s more like the wife didn’t want to live near dumpy Foxboro anymore.
-
No they probably wouldn’t have, but I don’t think the Pats would have been as competitive either the last two years if Brady would have stayed in Boston.
-
Probably so, but for the record I don’t frequent the talk shows much anymore. The Red Sox are pretty much on the back burner these days, and it’s mostly Pats talk.
-
I think Brady got way to much credit for the Bucs winning his first year there. True they needed a good QB, which he still was, but the Bucs were loaded on offense, and added more to it, and the D was pretty good too.
-
I can’t speak for anyone else, but my opinion of Bloom had nothing to do with Sports talk radio.
-
When you run Brady out of town you’d better keep on winning, because the Pats fans got spoiled for all those SB appearances.
-
Agree, but the original comment was going all in from 2016-2018. The two you mentioned were very questionable, and did take up $40M of payroll.
-
Bill brings a lot of that on himself for his eloquent press conferences.
-
Exactly! Going All In at any time had nothing to do with this year. Signing Sale to that extension especially since he still had a year left on his contract was mismanagement at its best. Going all in so called from 2016-2018 had nothing to do with all the injuries this year, or the less than stellar performances from so many players this year.
-
I guess it depends on if you think clubhouses chemistry means anything, or not. Sometimes just changing the manager can make a big difference. Remember Morgan magic? And wast it in 78 that the Yankees went to Bob Lemon, and the Yankees took off on a big winning streak?
-
Actually they have been after Bill for two years now. He gets blamed for Brady leaving town, and the team being not as good. A 20 year run, and 1 losing season is all it takes. Of course Bill didn’t major in public relations either, and makes it harder on himself with the media.
-
Now why would the Boston media don’t like Bloom?
-
16 games left in the season. 4 games from 500 5 games back from the O’s, and from sitting at the kiddie table, and a last place finish in the Div.
-
I think being a leader on the field, and a leader in the clubhouse are two different things, and don’t necessarily lead to the same results.
-
You can be a good clubhouse leader, but that doesn’t mean that results will carry over to the playing field. I think you could win a championship, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you are a good clubhouse leader, and you could be a good clubhouse leader, but on a last place team. I don’t think results on the field automatically carry over to the clubhouse, and vice versa, so if you are saying the club has a losing record this year, because the clubhouse leaders are bad, and the team needs new ones the you could say the same thing about the manager could you not?
-
This coming year will be the big tell on the spending starting with Bogey, and Raffy.
-
Ahh judging the old John Henry to think he will follow past ways.
-
Not necessarily none of the above.
-
JBJ was well liked, and there wasn’t a big uproar when he left except for why he was traded for in the first place.
-
It’s all part of the equation. Like I said earlier go, and ask any player in any team sports if clubhouse chemistry matters, and I think most would say yes.
