look.
It's all speculation. I don't know anything more than anyone else.
If you don't think that organizations have plans in place for several years out...well, I don't know what to tell you. There's only so much you can do in one offseason and in one season. I'm sure there was a plan; I don't know for a fact what it was. Whatever it was, it got the team 6 ****ing inches from a SB and a 23 year old MVP QB.
So you can complain about it if you want, but you sound pretty stupid.
Unless you want to mortgage the future, you can't really do a defensive rebuild in one year; it's gonna take a couple of drafts. I don't give a **** who you are or what scheme you want to run; if you're making a scheme change, it's probably going to be ugly for a year at least until you can get enough pieces in place.
Belichick himself switched from a 3-4 to a 4-3; not because his defense was totally shit, just because he felt it was becoming more difficult to get players to fit the 3-4 with half the league running it.
so this extreme idea that they KNEW the defense was going to be historically bad and ignored it doesn't hold water. It was worse than they thought, it didn't go to plan. I'm sure they thought Berry was going to be healthy all year too. Shit happens.
They didn't know Mahomes was going to be THAT GOOD. They didn't think the defense would be THAT BAD. They knew they needed some more bodies on that side, and knew it would take another draft to get there. That's just logic, man.
But you think what you want to. You're not going to change your mind even if there was factual evidence to the contrary. I have an opinion; it's theory and conjecture. You have an opinion, and you're not changing it no matter what. So whatever. Do your thing.
