The refs were godawful. Looks for a 7-10 season for the Pats. (Jets, Falcons, Colts, Jaguars and Dolphins). Dolphins away with Tua, a newly confident Colts, even the Jaguars win now. And the Texans almost got us. So these five wins are not guaranteed. But let say we manage an upset victory...7-10. That's a regress to last year despite all the spending. We got Hightower and Co. back (but traded Gilmore). And Mac Jones is not the problem. I hope Kraft liberates us from Belichick. 7-10 won't be enough to get rid of BB. We're stuck with him unless we finish 4-12 or worse. Even then I think Kraft gives him one more year. I don't think the Colts game in Indy is a gimme. And we struggled in Miami with the GOAT, so nothing is guaranteed down there. But the Jags, Jets and Falcons are must wins. Because Brady had no weapons left (=> 2019). Julian was washed up since he was (or better had to be) overused. 2019: first game against Miami was a demonstration because everyone was healthy, in the last game of the season against Miami we were de facto without weapons and lost. And the defense might win championships, but one still needs to score. But like I said: Dolphins with Tua, the Colts with a new confidence...we might lose there, but also land one or two upset victories. 7-10, 8-9 max. My hope is that Kraft and the team will get tired of his character. Belichick got away with a lot because he was successful, and that might change. I this guy is leading us nowhere. He spent all our cap space, got the best and most ready Rookie QB as it seems, and he got all his opt out back. But we even struggle against the hopeless Texans. And we lost Gilmore because we couldn't pay him (=> cap space). Success was keeping a lot together, but Belichicks attitude, his way of taking all fun away, and the lack of success might lead to some exodus, and it will be harder to get good players - even if we could pay them. Playing with no hope of success und under a "no fun"-regime of Belichick. This man is becoming more and more a burden. Brady was the one factor that kept all together.
