Appreciate you digging in, in your unique way on my team. I think post Spygate, Belichick doubled down on building his staffs with his guys that he trusted. Sometimes that ended up with awful fits like Patricia and Judge coaching positions they had no experience in. Or Front office people that would not push back.

More examples of Krafts not spending off the field, look at the past two NFLPA surveys.

I’ll hope Maye is 90% of what the quotes say he will be here.

Thank you Michael! It was a real mess at the end. That’s for sure.

The more I hear from people around the NFL about Maye, the more I believe. Checks every box.

Still think a stud WR would be the last piece.

Yep, particularly a deep threat. Also could use some help with the pass rush. I trust Vrabel to keep building this team prudently.

This is a fantastic piece, thanks. Any player or coach who wants to learn how to build a winning culture can probably learn something from this. One thing unmentioned, however, that I love about this Pats team is how versatile and complimentary they are. Truth is, we still don't yet have a really great roster compared to other elite teams. But once again, it looks we found the formula -- a great coach and a great QB. This is a lovable group and we're only going to get better.
