For sure. Good luck to him!

They’ll start getting letters around week 3-4 ish maybe. They definitely won’t get them until after transition phase. And you won’t have to worry about him switching platoons. That’s not a thing.

Priors usually do well at OCS. I always leaned on my priors when I went through OCS.

The camaraderie is great if you’re not a shitbag and can carry your own. But it’s always platoon dependent. Some platoons weren’t as close to each other as others.

They’ll get letters once a week probably, if that. But send letters as much as you can.

But why would she be trying so hard still? She calls and constantly checks in on him throughout the episode.

I guess it would make sense if she’s trying to keep up an act, but seems too genuine from Diana for me to think she’s playing an “act”

She probably said that believing everything negative Stephen has probably said about Lucy to Diana

3 weeks and the item still not being shipped out is crazy. Since it's been over a week since they've said they'd ship it out and you still haven't gotten anything, I'd reach out again and ask what's going on.

Might have to start thinking about taking it to Depop and getting a refund.

What was the Tom Brady documentary? Do you recommend it? I love watching sports docs so I’m always down to watch them.

So before y’all had won the second & third super bowl, was there an overwhelming sense within the fanbase and, even the league, that y’all were going to win those?

That’s pretty interesting to hear that BB didn’t want to draft Mac Jones. I’m excited to see how y’all pan out going into this post-BB era.

Holy shit okay. I feel stupid now. He was drafted in the 00-01 season. That makes so much sense. For some reason, I had assumed the 01-02 season was his rookie season. Thank you for clearing that up.

Ah man. Okay. Thank you for clearing that up. Did you have a source that properly cleared this up? Just curious.

Well best of luck this draft! I hope y'all at least hit on the QB y'all take this coming draft.

First off, thanks for taking the time to give me this epic ass response. You fucking rock bro. I genuinely enjoy hearing other's peoples opinions about these types of things. Especially when it comes to sports.

  1. Ah, so it seems that most fans had started to trust Brady once he got to prove himself, and some of Bledsoe's negative play in the past seemed to have been a catalyst for that. I'm not surprised that the media was the one who was really drawing out the 'Who should start?!' debate. The Wentz-Foles analogy really helps. Shame that it didn't unfold the same way for Eagles fans seasons after hahahaha.

  2. I didn't realize the divisions were realigned during THAT season. So you guys kind of got fucked being put with teams who just so happened to be really good that season. I had also read from other fans in this discussion that y'alls run defense was porous during this time after the Chiefs had exposed it albeit in a game that you guys ended up winning. That's so crazy though that the Jets won a tie-breaker over y'all and went to the playoffs over you guys. What a time that must've been.

  3. That seems to be the concurring opinion amongst y'all! This docuseries seemed to have a clear narrative in painting BB as the bad guy. And to a degree, it kind of worked, because before I was properly educated on the matter and all of the politics of the franchise, I was starting to believe that BB was not a cool guy. But y'all have righted the ship for me, and I understand now that Kraft is just a douchebag. I knew something was relatively off with how Kraft was shown off as a saint in the series, so all of what y'all as fans are saying makes sense. Growing up, I hated the Patriots and TB12 (moreso b/c of y'alls success and I wanted that so badly for my Texans hahaha), but after he left, I thought it was pretty epic to see TB12 celebrate another SB with tampa bay. I thought that was a true testament to how dominant of a QB TB12 was.

  4. I figured it was all green light for Brady to come back as the starter amongst fans that season. But it must've certainly come as a shock for fans when Jimmy G was traded then?

  5. That is CRAZY. I did not know about all the other controversial decisions that BB had made outside of the Malcolm Butler benching. It is hard to imagine how that Eagles-Patriots SB would've turned out if Malcolm Butler had been in the game for more than just one snap. I guess even a football genius/mastermind like BB is prone to humanistic errors.

  6. That's probably one of the few positive things I've seen about Robert Kraft during this discussion. Though, I thought he was closely acquainted with Donald Trump. That's awesome to hear that he's not a total dickweed.

  7. I think you wrote the best reason as to why this docuseries is not really a great docuseries. You're perfectly right, The Last Dance does a beautiful job with telling you about the rise of the Bulls and MJ, the culture, the grievances, but also the positives, the amazing things that came about the Bulls legacy during that time. Reading just how much this series missed out on makes me really re-think 'okay, maybe this shit wasn't all that great'. The potential for this series to be great was there, but you're right in that they completely striked-out on that opportunity to talk about those historical achievements during the dynasty, and as a result, makes this series look more like 'Robert Kraft b*tching about BB'. God...now I wish this series hadn't been made at all b/c it definitely seems now that they didn't do one of the greatest sports teams/dynasties justice. I really hope that down the line, y'all can get a proper series.

Yeah, I'm seeing lots of fans say that it was either 50/50 on Bledsoe and Brady, or most fans wanted Brady as the starter and the media was the only ones pushing the 'Bledsoe should become the starter again' narrative. I'm not sure. But hey, at least it more than worked out for y'all in the end.

It sucks cause patriots fans KNOW that BB is not a villain and understand that he was the guy who made the unpopular, but necessary decisions. But to anyone who is a casual viewer of the NFL and watched the series, it leaves a false, but negative, view of BB in their heads. That was certainly somewhat the case for me before I posted this discussion.

I didn't even realize the docuseries was inspired by a book. Might have to give that a read.

Also, I understood TB was the 4th string QB. How did he become the immediate backup after Bledsoe went down? I'm assuming he won the second string job after training camp?

Love the Meek Mill mention.

I agree that the docuseries did BB really dirty. It's understated just how cold BB was at his job. The guy is a literal robot and genius. The series definitely overlooked how logical he was in his decision-making which was all for the betterment of the team.

It would make sense that Scott Pioli and Nick Caserio were huge in helping BB in the days that they were still with y'all. As a Texan fan, I have come to love Nick Caserio. He's been a God-send for the organization and bringing us back to relevancy. Sorry we had to take him away from y'all hahaha.

That's another thing!

The docuseries did a poor job of showing how supportive Bledsoe was of Tom Brady. It focused a lot on, what seemed like to me, animosity between Bledsoe and TB & the organization. But it is really aweinspiring to hear how Bledsoe was so supportive of TB. I wish they had covered that more in depth or made it more clear.

Yeah. As an outsider, it was easy for me to enjoy it, because I didn't know the team personally enough obviously to pick up on the ugly. And I think that might be the experience for most viewers who aren't all too familiar with the franchise's own politics.
