The Patriots going through a tough season, and it’s shaping up to be their worst under Bill Belichick.
Ever since Tom Brady left in 2020 to win a Super Bowl with the Buccaneers, they’ve struggled to regain their former glory.
According to a new report from BostonSportsJournal’s Mike Giardi, it appears that there’s a shift in focus by some within the Patriots organization.
Giardi wrote: “Plenty of folk in the upper reaches of the building would rather have more losses than a win or two that could cost draft positioning. In fact, some are already talking about next year. That’s what 1-5 will do for you.”
Adding to the gloom, Belichick is inching closer to an all-time loss record, a mere 8 defeats away from tying the record of 165 career losses held by Jeff Fisher and Dan Reeves.
Owner Robert Kraft, who said the team needs to make the playoffs this season, can’t be happy with this.
The looming question now is what Kraft will do about Belichick. Despite the legacy of 6 Super Bowls, the consensus is that he’s currently undermining the team’s prospects in his dual roles as general manager and coach.
Change seems to be coming, but what will it be exactly? Patriots fans are wondering.
