You all keep throwing "Patriot way" around like its a swear. The "Patriot way" is three things: Kraft, Belichick, Brady. Everyone else has proven to be useless and false... coaches (Mangini, Weiss, Crennel, McDaniels), players (all failures post-N.E. save Vinatieri), and especially Pioli.

Even Bellichick needs a second look. Certainly in the beginning he made a lot of good moves but over the years as it seems his motivation was more about proving something his decisions on 4th downs and personnel have dropped. For a guy that is a draft and defensive guru his self-built defense hasn't been too hot the past 5 years.
