Patriots become 1st team in 30 years to lose back to back games allowing 10 pts or less

[edjr 6,898]

guess who did it 30 years ago?  The Patriots in 1993

Kraft is too cheap to fire BB. 

[IGotWorms 4,063]

Why fire BB now, Ed? Complete the tank job, set yourself up to get Williams or Maye, then see where you are at HC (I think they will “mutually part ways” after the season)

[Hardcore troubadour 15,911]

BB takes over the Chargers from that idiot. Andy Reid shitts his pants. Let’s go!

This is exactly what will happen. BB the coach doesn’t need to tank. BB the GM already set him up for failure with that roster.

His drafts from 2019-2021 were absolutely atrocious.

Jury is still out on the last two years but I’d say those were mediocre at best.

Some terrible free agent signings too. Johnnu Smith, Smith-Schuster, etc

I agree that Pats and BB “mutually” part ways. By the time NE is a contender again Bill may be dead. He should go spend time with his family instead of wasting it on that disaster.

Krafts will be motivated for a quick turnaround. Don’t know if they’ll succeed, but they’ll try

They should’ve blown it up once Brady left.

I think they probably knew that but it’s a really tough call when you’ve got the second-winningest coach in NFL history

13 AFC Title games, 9 Super Bowls, 6 Super Bowl wins.

If anyone comes close to that for my Dolphins, they can stay as long as they want.

10 or fewer points is already rare in the modern NFL. For it to happen back-to-back and to LOSE both ... seems nearly impossible. I doubt anyone here lives to see that again. 

Let's go for three next week.

Chargers 6  Patriots 0

History made!

THREE straight games with 10 or less, and lost 'em all. Only 1938 Chicago Cardinals have done it four straight.

The Jets have six more weeks to pull it off.

Next up.... the Steelers featuring Mitch Trubiski.

Might be three weeks in a row and the Over and Under on Thursday is 30. Steelers win 6-3 lol.

It IS three, they're now going for four. They're playing circa 1902 Big Ten football right now, before anyone invented the forward pass.

The fourth quarter of the Steelers game took a total of 18 minutes to play. The NFL wanted that over with ASAP.

Spread was chargers -5.5 too.  I can't imagine too many teams in history covered a 5.5 point spread scoring 6 points.
