Joe Judge was an assistant coach on a winning team, in a winning program, with good players deeply cultured in winning. In that job in that environment maybe all there is to do is "watch the tape and correct the mistakes."
Now that Joe finds himself drowning in a losing team, in a losing program, with few good players deeply cultured in losing, he doesn't have a clue what to do except what he's been taught to do .."watch the tape and correct the mistakes."
He is at a total loss about how to change the direction of this losing team. He has never done it. He probably has never been part of a program that has done it. We need new thinking. We need people in this organization who are going to adopt new approaches, try new ways of thinking and doing things. Where is the innovation? Where is the move, play design or call, or the utilization of a player that surprises us to the upside? Where? We have none.

The proper word is regressing but regardless, even the guys who came from winning programs are getting worse not better.
Yes, this is the correct answer.

as Brady carried the Patriots for all those years? In the second year without Brady, Belichick isn't exactly lighting the league on fire.
Yes, this is the correct answer.
Bullshit. BB round Brady in the 6th round. 6th round. While coaching can only go so far this idea that it was Bellicheck riding his coattails for this long. Brady would have gone to the Raiders to warm a bench and retire at 28 if not for Bellichek.
It's not even wondering what fresh hell we'll be in this season. It's the same hell we've been watching for most of a decade. Multiple coaches, different players, same old thing. It's alternately boring and infuriating.

But he stepped into a team that was two years into a rebuild that has failed. Four years in and we still have an OL that can’t run or pass block and a defense that can’t stop the run or rush the passer. Coaching doesn’t solve that. Talented players solve that and in those spots we don’t have them.
The thing that is really frustrating for me as a fan is that it's the same thing every year: Bad pre-season followed by losing the first few games. D is plagued by big plays, can't rush the passer and can't get off the field on 3rd down. O is plagued by turnovers, drops and can't get the ball in the end zone after long drives.

Couldn't agree more.
