00:00I agree. I think that Mayo and Kraft and everybody should shut up about Belichick.

00:04But when is it appropriate for Patriots fans and everybody else to stop blaming Belichick?

00:09Because I don't think six games into the new season is enough time to have gone by.

00:13I think that that's him saying, hey, when are you going to stop blaming Bill for everything?

00:17It's like, well, we're still very much in the first half of the season

00:21with a roster that he's still left in shambles.

00:23So it's going to at least be to the end of this year.

00:26I don't know. You want to go beyond this year and call it whiny,

00:28then I could maybe see that. But as you said, his fingerprints are all over this roster.

00:32It's definitely still a lot of blame to go in his direction for this roster right now.

00:37Yeah. When you are through like next offseason cycle, the March and April of next,

00:42I don't want to hear about Bill anymore because you've now had

00:45two drafts that included a top three pick and probably another top three to five pick.

00:50You've had an offseason where you had $100 million to spend.

00:53You're going to have an offseason where you had $130 million to spend.

00:56This is on you now. And I'd even blend in that one little bridge year where Elliot Wolf and Matt

01:03Grow had at least some input. Right. It was more collaborative and whatever.

01:08Like and we had we had Matt Grow telling us, you know, you want fast players.

01:12You're going to draft fast players. That's why we drafted Taekwon Thornton and Pierre Strong.

01:16And that's why neither guy has ever done a damn thing for the New England Patriots.

01:19Right. So so they get at least partial blame for 2023.

01:24And then 2024 is all them. And 2025 is all them. I don't want to hear about Bill anymore.

01:28He's going to be employed somewhere else. Let Bill do his thing. You do your thing.

01:32Stand on your own two feet financially, trade wise, everything.

01:35And we're going to judge you next.
