00:00I still maintain that the relationship between Mayo and Kraft and the things that Kraft has said publicly just this year

00:07About Mayo would make it almost impossible to fire him. Almost. I mean it's the NFL things can happen

00:13You can get frustrated with how a season's going

00:15You can not like how it's looked or it can be even worse than you expected all that

00:19But I just thought because Gerard Mayo is the head coach and not also the GM like Belichick was

00:25You can look at it and say well the roster stinks not his fault all the offensive coordinator

00:32Which isn't his specialty like isn't as good as we thought even though actually it might be but like you can

00:36You can find scapegoats around Mayo if you're Kraft and be like we're keeping him

00:41We made the right call with him, but what we what we screwed up was everybody else

00:44Yeah, I still lean into that more than not. I just don't know and look I trust Burt's reporting

00:48He says he's on solid ground. He's probably on solid ground. I wouldn't do that, but I'm not running the Patriots I

00:54Just wonder if that defense like that sounds like the ownership defense we knew we were a long ways away

00:59We knew the roster was really poor. It's a long rebuild so they think they're gonna win fewer games this year

01:06No, I there's no way they thought that I don't think so either and I just don't know if that's the defense

01:10They think it is you guys didn't spend in free agency at all enough on outside talent

01:15I mean you brought you spent some to bring back your crummy players

01:18But you didn't spend it all on outside talent and you didn't upgrade at

01:23obvious positions of need wide receiver

01:26Tackle you didn't spend any money at those positions any significant money at those positions. So

01:33Okay, they don't have the talent. You knew it was gonna be a long rebuild. We didn't expect anything this year

01:39I'm with you Keith. I don't think they felt they would win fewer games than a year ago

01:43I definitely didn't expect that and number two if the roster isn't good. Whose fault is that? It's somewhat on the Wolfpack

01:50Oh, yeah, there's no doubt about that

01:52but

01:55He's significantly to blame

01:57Maybe this is greasing the skids to hold him accountable

01:59But Robert and Jonathan better look themselves in the mirror as well

02:02If the roster and talent isn't good enough whose fault is that you guys didn't spend that's on you

02:07You feel like more wins next season than this past season like is that I do feel that way

02:12Okay, so we got you got me on record. Yeah, we're gonna win more than four games. Yeah, I'm all record
