00:00 The New England Patriots are out of playoff contention very early this season.
00:05 The earliest they've been out of postseason contention since 2000.
00:09 What have we learned about this New England team?
00:10 Yeah, about the best thing they can do is try to take somebody down with them.
00:15 And in the end, of course, Bill Belichick might be the guy who goes down.
00:18 Their defeat of the Steelers, which gave them their third win of the year on Thursday, that
00:24 may create some problems, for instance, for Mike Tomlin in Pittsburgh.
00:28 But most of all, this is about the Patriots licking their wounds and trying to figure
00:32 out what their future is going to be.
00:34 This has not been a good enough program under Bill Belichick.
00:37 Legendary, of course, for almost a quarter of a century in New England.
00:40 But in the post-Tom Brady era, they've made the playoff once, and they've been kind of
00:45 bad way more than once.
00:48 Nowhere to go but up after they make quite possibly big changes in New England.
00:53 And it maybe answers that question, that long asked question.
00:58 Was it Tom Brady or was it Bill Belichick?
01:01 I always believe what I say about, let's take the Dallas Cowboys and Jimmy and Jerry.
01:06 That one guy couldn't have done it without the other guy.
01:09 We saw what happened with Jimmy when he left Dallas and went to Miami.
01:13 It never quite worked.
01:14 And of course, Cowboy fans and NFL fans are highly, acutely aware of the fact that the
01:19 Cowboys have gone now more than a quarter of a century without a title in the post-Jimmy
01:23 era, and then another era, and another era, and another era.
01:26 So I hope that history remembers Brady and Belichick as an incredibly good marriage.
01:33 A dynamic duo.
01:34 Yeah, maybe the best ever at what they did.
01:37 But that now to a Patriots fan seems like a long time ago.
