Say what you want about JDR but his teams came out well coached and adjusted as the game went on.  Gus doesn't prepare his team in that way.

Um adjustment, from JDR? I don't know about all that. I liked JDR, but he played his way, and his way only. He liked smash mouth football, and when we had the talent we would win, and when we didn't (cause of Gene) JDR took the fall. I never thought he was a bad coach. In fact, I felt he was good, but a adjuster or innovator he is not. Thats why the great coaches like Belichek took him to school when they played us (well that and Brady).

 

All that being said. I really like the current regime. And I want to see what Gus can do with a bit more talent. I don't think we have it this year yet (cause it takes time to develop). But I predict 5-11 and Gus gets to keep his job due to an obvious improvement from our players/offensive/defensive performance.

 

I don't believe this is easily a 6-8 win team, quite frankly I think that would be an over-achievement on our part, or BB will have developed much faster than I expected. Baby steps before we run. We got one more year of mediocrity before we really take off, but I expect real improvements. No more 5th worse in the league offense or defense.
