Riftty Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) After 20 years of dominance, we final get to settle if it was Bill or Tom that made the greatest dynasty ever seen. Or if they were just simply two halves to a whole. So who will be better? Tom and the high flying offense of the bucs. Or Bill and the stout defense of the pats?

Heinz D. Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 That's tough. Belichick is still the GOAT coach, and not a bad GM, either. However, his old formula was underpaying a spectacular QB, and overpaying a bunch of above average supporting players. Last year things got jumbled, and the skill players around the QB stunk, were injured, or disappeared. The line was also average. Prompting Brady to jump ship. I think the Pats will remain competitive, but have a really bad record this year. (Say...6-10.) The Bucs will contend, provided they improve their O line a bit.

iknowcool Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) I don't see how it would prove anything. Belichick is clearly a great coach, but I could see the Patriots being a 7-9/8-8 team if not worse. The defense will almost certainly not be as good as they were most of last year and the offense could be among the worst. Not sure how I feel about the Bucs yet. Arians/Brady is a weird combination and their offensive line is questionable. Bucs are an easy bet when compared to the Patriots though.

DerbyRam Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Buccs. I think fewer turnovers will help translate losses into wins. I just don't see how NE fix their offence. I really can see them having a frustrating season, all the teams in their division will/should be better this season too. Dolphins and Bills anyway.

Soko Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Pats defense is going to regress in a big way IMO. Losing KVN, Jamie Collins, Elandon Roberts, Danny Shelton, and Duron Harmon is going to make things tough on a unit that overachieved. Not really sure one season proves anything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve whiffed on FAs at times, but the big players were usually their home grown guys (McCourty, Wilfork, Hightower, even them not really overpaid) and a couple big FAs (Gilmore, Revis). If anything, they’ve been frugal with overpaying their players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbuff Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Pats will suck enough to get a top ten pick, then trade a fortune for Trevor Lawrence. Empire rebuilt, and we will all have a new team to hate (whoever trades them the pick to get Trev) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose I should have explained the situation in more detail than I did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Patriots will be 18-0 and Tom Brady delivers a game winning drive in the Super Bowl to send them to 18-1. I’m from the future. Can’t make this stuff up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondbull424 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I’m easily taking the Pats in this scenario. I trust them to put together a playoff team regardless of the QB because of BB. But if they get a healthy and highly motivated Cam Newton at their disposal, they’re going to be absolutely scary. And I think they will acquire Cam for what it’s worth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
