Some thoughts ahead of Sunday’s game:
1) Much of the talk this week has centered around the report by Tom Curran of NBC Sports Boston, who revealed this week that apparently the decision to move on from Bill Belichick after this year may have already been made.
According to Curran, that conclusion by New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft was apparently reached following the club’s loss in Germany, which now has him quietly letting the season finish out before the two potentially part ways.
“When they came out of Germany, conversations I had that week made it very clear a decision was made, and they were going to play out the string, and at the end of the year, there would be a parting of the ways, for a variety of reasons,” said Curran during a segment earlier this week.
