Smeer campaign tarned as a documentary
24 March 2024
I am a football fan since around the time this unparalled dynasty began. Not a fan of the team but I Iived through all of it.

The documentary is produced by Robert Kraft (the owner of the team) and so it is no wonder that I felt like I am watching state television. The doc dives hard into the beginning of him buying the team, the QB Tom Brady (who Kraft has almost a father-son-relationship with) and the major stories, of which most center around some bad decision the coach Bill Belichick made.

Two points on this: 1. Who doesn't like a little drama? Fine for me but there is almost no new information which the average NFL fan is not aware of. Nothing to see here other than just living through it again.

2. Putting into perspective that we are looking at 20 years of team history that is mentioned here, you would have to think that it is remarkable that the coach caused only these few instances of drama. Some other stories are just unfortunate and unlucky.

What's missing here? Football.

You only here a litte about the brilliance of arguably the best coach in football history. You also don't here much from the players. Patriots players have said themselves in interviews that almost all positive points and true football stories were left out. What was left was merely a few comments on the drama.

It is unfortunate that this story of the Patriots dynasty is not told in full.

What this doc wants you to believe is that the owner and the quarterback are the greatest and the coach was just there for the ride.

Why can't it say that they were all great in exactly what they did?

A great owner. The greatest coach. The greatest quarterback.

1 star for an obvious smeer campaign against the coach. Shameful! He helped you get 6 championships! The team would have been average at best without him.
