bhahahha his face 11:26 when asked about Mac coming back to play QB for the Pats
His face when tom says mac at 11:27 has me absolutely weak😭😭😭😭
Lombardi: I was there you don’t know what you’re talking about unless it was clearly Bills fault then I wasn’t there I can’t say.
Lombardi: Look at Zappe, he is a really good QB who elevates the guys around him. Also Lombardi: Zappe isn't a starting QB in the NFL.
Thank god for Lombardi so we can get real insight into how Bill thinks, this interview told me a lot. Bill was clearly salty about Billy O coming in here and replacing Patricia. As a result, Bill did nothing to help him on the personnel side. He knew they needed help, and Bill essentially said F you to Kraft for forcing Billy O on him. Thank GOD Belichick is out, I can’t even imagine the toxicity in the building over the last couple years.
so much for doing what's best for the team eh?
Yep only confirms how much bill is to blame. When people speak honestly, there are truths on both sides even if one more than the other. When you dig your heels in this hard against everything people have seen with their own eyes, it reeks of defensiveness. His performance on F&M was a childish display .
It was the other personnel decisions, for instance Jacobi Meyers for Ju-Ju.
The Drafting too. Strange in the first round? Smh
Nkeal Harry over AJ Brown, Metcalf and Deebo Samuel
Mike is the smartest guy in the room, just ask him.
Lombardi like myself is probably wondering why Jones is getting so many excuses made for him. It’s a strange phenomena lol
All facts no misses
Michael Lumbardy is the best, that was excellent!
when your winning 8 games by one score, no one ever says "ya know alot of these games were close and could have gone the other way" "we have a good record but we're not a good team"
but when you lose 8 games by 1 score....then its all "well were close, lotta those games, a play here a play there" "bad record but not a bad team"
you are what your record says you are
This guy literally says what it is definitely agree abd he definitely knows this team definitely have faith good video
How is that🤔
Lombardi has a million excuses for Bill - and I love Bill. “Should have brought in the competition “? Mac was in a QB controversy for two years.
Mac sucks get over it
Don’t try to introduce logic here, 😂 They can’t compute it.
@@BrickhouseHousecallgood one 🧱🥴
Lombardi is the highest bill Bo Bo
God bless Tom and Phil. That is a long week of interviewing other media personalities.
Are you kidding me God bless two guys just interviewing people I know Tom and Phil are good at what they do but they say God bless them that's just crazy you need to call plus something that's real something that's important to the world not something like this get your priorities straight
@@sportsunlimited9735 The funniest thing is how upset you got about that persons comment 🤣
@@jeffwheeler1893 people give to much credit for stupid shit instead of appreciating real
All of Lombardi’s answers were crafted from the thesis of defending Belichick’s reputation.
and btw - they were WAY better on Offense in 22' than this year. Last time I checked 8-9 is better than 4-13 Curran.
Tom "Belichick is the worst hire in NFL History" Curran, can't handle it because it blows apart all of his narratives for the last 3yrs
Exactly. Jones blows and Curren won’t admit it 😂
I think Bill had a big role in the Pats success. But when I think about SB36. Bill's D gave up 14 4th quarter points, then Brady leads a 1:28 drive for a game winning field goal. Does that sound like more coach or more QB?
What about the other sb ? We just gonna off one sb ?
@ElChema0719 Literally every superbowl except the 2nd rams sb had our defense crumble especially in the 4th quarter and required a Brady comeback
It also gave up 3 points until the 4th quarter with a pick six. Keep in mind, this was the greatest show on turf
@@Brady6xPats Point is the D gave up 14 points and it took Brady to win the game... So the D kept them in it but the QB won it.
Brady had the lead in the 4th quarter of every Super Bowl
"If they'd have had Jacobi Brisset on the team, I think they'd of won 7 games" wow a whole 7... 😂
I laughed so hard
@@peterjacoby8019 better than what Mac did 😂 he isn’t saying that to say it would be better but look at Jacob he can deliver you some wins without the training wheels on and has a strong mentality who has been in different teams lol Mac would crumble 😂 you know why cuz he was spoon fed since a baby lol you must’ve never heard why nick saban didn’t like Mac cuz he would shit to the defense when things were going good but as soon as the defense started to get after him he would crumble
It may have looked better, but it would not benefit the situation. If you suck, you might as well get something for the suckage in terms of draft pick. None of us would have been happier with seven wins. 😃
@@1sewalker true but like he said if we had close games with Mac we would’ve definitely had those loses as wins with Jacob
Yes. Perfect . A guy who is nothing but a backup QB, surrounded by a horrible OL and no weapons or team speed. 7 wins? Really ? You are dreaming.
As a pats fan bill os the goat coach, but it’s ALWAYS about the players. Coaches help and play a role, but as someone who coaches sports it’s always about the players. They win, they do it. We try to help them and it’s those who can not play who try to make it about coaches. It’s always 70-30/80-20 in the advantage of the players
Mike was just Bill’s yes man and will defend any bad choice he made!!
Mac jones returns I'm watching the jets...I'm done with boring mac jones
You guys actually talked like gentleman, Lombardi has been spitting nothing but facts. No one’s saying this but things went down hill because of Josh leaving.
Not gonna lie after hearing this and what Mathew judon said Mac Jones is done in New England… we’re moving on to a new QB at #3 😎
Everyone needs a PR guy like Lombardi. Apparently Bill's drafting was excellent and it was everyone elses fault.
Curren is still holding Mac’s water? What a clown.
Honestly I’m still disgusted about the fact that Belichick is no longer our hc. It’s going to take some time to get over that. I like Jerod mayo a lot but still…
Tom continues to carry Kraft's bag for him.
Succession plans are not put in place overnight.
Got to take a #1 wide receiver at pick 3
Ok…. Who’s going to throw the ball? Lol
Mac is responsible for his own bad play overall. Towards the end of the season many players on the offense were injured and unavailable Zappe looked better. Zappe is just a little bt better than Mac imo.
Flacco is the choice. Especially with the OC AVP.
Well Parker and juju and the oline sucked. We were last in wr separation and been last in pass block for awhile now give us waddle and hill and a better tackle the offense would have been way better. Now we at the point where we need 3 peices wr, line and qb . We need to spend and draft right this year it will be the best year to do the rebuild fast. Especially while we have a great defense. Resign dugger and Onwenu that's priority #1 since Fa is first.
4 guys in the league that are #1 wide receivers, cmon!!!!!!
I just want Mike to tell em we some idiot for the moves we been making
Mike Lombardi as GM would be badass 💥
The NBC guy sounds like Jonathan Kraft pays him
Listening. to ML, I don't want him anywhere near the patriots coaching jobs. The team has been a disaster since Brady left and the least thing Belichrk could have done was leave the Patriots with the number one pick. Imagine having Caleb Williams behind center for the next decade?
Baha acting like bill owes pats fans or you anything is fucking hilarious..
Yeah nah bro paints his nails and cry's in his mamas arms when he loses too much hype he won't be good
Took Lombardi all of 8 minutes and 8 seconds to name-drop Bill Walsh. There has never been an interview where Lombardi didn't say some variation of "I talked to [Bill Walsh, Belichick, Al Davis] once about.....".
That's actually a long time for a you tube video
But did he lie about wht he said about the wrs ?? No cuz the qb makes them
Should he talk about you?
@@ElChema0719 Uh yeah he did lie, the idea that Purdy is making Deebo and Aiyuk better than are is moronic. Those guys are great players. As is the idea that Mac could've made Juju and Parker good players and that it was only the QBs fault last year.
Lombardi mentioned this week that he was wearing his 49ers Super Bowl Ring as a tribute to Walsh.
Just so were all on the same page... the last SB was won by the run game and defense..Bill held one of the best offenses in NFL History to 3pts...3pts people
Brady had no TD's in a 13-3 win...It's not all Tom. It was Bill and Tom collectively with many moving parts with coaches like Dante, Romeo and McDaniels..
Not a Pats fan but people who think Bill is a nobody and it's all Tom are %^&$#^** idiots and know nothing about football imo....
People are not blind if Bill is so good how come he still unemployed,
Lombardi not knowing about the 5 - 1 million incentives added to Brady’s contact? I say bullshit!!!
Bill Belichick is the reason Mac Jones is going to loss his job,and I believe Bill Belichick done it on purpose
Don't be shocked if they take Harrison Jr and give Mac one more year.
Mac is the reason for why he played as he did, Bill can't go out there and throw interceptions
Bro Mac is the reason bill got fired lol he played like trash
Mac Jones clearly doesn't have the mental fortitude to handle times of trouble.
Sad reality, concerning Belichick, but true...if Bill is ever hired again, he will need to bring a very good offensive Coordinator, and Qb coach, like Josh...Mac was looking real good under Josh, especially when Mac outplayed Tom Brady one evening in Gillette Stadium, in Mac's rookie season.
Mike isn’t biased at all about Belichick. He has no personal agenda whatsoever 🙄
Lombardi is just fighting for bill and I respect that but cmonnn. Bill brings the guys in, he picks who he wants and who he doesn’t. We had good players let go and bad players brought in, I’m sorry that’s on bill
The correct way to build a team is build out the weapons and make sure you have a working offense first then add the QB. AS history has taught us, its year 4 of Mac and his duck throws and people still defend him because of the offensive pieces currently. Add MVH, Pittman, Trade for Fields and Draft a 2nd Round tackle and you have yourself a revampled and functional offense. Your welcome
Yeah , like getting Joe Burrow wasn't the rifgt choice or stroud ...you need a good qb before anything...not mac jones that is on the dumb Patriots lol
@@lewisalba7825 I believe burrow was setting records for most sacked qb and don’t think they were winning much. Also blew out his knee and on the fast track to Andrew luck territory in terms of retiring early due to injuries. Stroud had decent pieces in place already…. And for the 2 good qbs I can call out a dozen bad or bust qbs in the same breath.
burrow been in the league 3 years, hurt for 2 in the SB for 1. maybe if they had a line he'd be deep in the playoffs every year.
as is they are risking an andrew luck if burrow keeps getting killed like this
@@peterjacoby8019 you'd still much rather be the Bengals right now with that guy than the Lions or god forbid the Patriots
@@peterjacoby8019 he been winning is what he's doing lol you missed that point ...and the whole league doesn't have an elite oline ...learn the NFL silly
At best the pats are still 2 years away from a playoff appearance
Lombardi makes a lot more sense than Curran. And Curran keeps interrupting Lombardi, trying to insist on his own opinions. He needs to study how to be a good interviewer. Tom, please learn how to be a better listener.
Mike Lombardi n Bill Belichick should join planet fitness
Lombardi is just a peddler of the Belichick legacy. He is too emotionaly involved with the team and the character to be taken seriously. Is like a contemporary Stars Wars fanático crying and whining because of the current situation of the franchise. He speaks a lot without saying nothing.
He speaks the truth and Curren is still a Mac stan.
You don't want to hear the truth you Mac stan
Lombardi likes to bring up the first Superbowl and throwing for 140yards but doesn't mention the 2nd Superbowl and 350+ passing yards or Belichick's genius defense getting torched by nick fricken foles or Jake delome. Not to mention the teddy bruschi, ty law, Willie mcginest, troy Brown even Adam venetari were all drafted by bill PARCELS not Belichick. Was always 80% Brady.
Why do I feel he made a lot of excuses? 😅
If wack jones plays a single snap i’ll boycott the season.
So much better than that shit-show with "Fleger" when they were yelling over each other.
A plumber
ran the offense last year....and it was better!...
Plenty of brain power going on around here, let's hope it translates into winning.
Lombardi destroys his credibility when he blasts BOB for the worse performance of the O during his run. He was given a damaged QB to try to fix, terrible O-line personnel, and hamstrung in hiring his own assistants. O'Brien was set up to fail - just more of BB's poor management at the end...
This is the NFL. Most games end by 1 score. You are what your record says you are. We were horrible on offense, special teams and half the season middle of the pack on defense. Stop defending the indefensible. This clown forgets that the team let Jakobi go, the oline was a joke, how were they supposed to be competent at offense.
Mac Jones is Mac Jones biggest problem not BB. Jones needs to grow up, keep his mouth shit and listen rather than sulking like a 10 yr old.
Is it just me or does ML talk out of both sides of his mouth 🤔
Is Pats allergic to offensive players? 😅
No fair fan who understands how sports and coaching works is saying that it was all BB or all TB12. It's just that this clown Lombardi who is BB mouthpiece telling anyone who would listen while TB12 was in his prime that BB could win at that level with any of the top 15 QB. Just admit no matter how good or great a head coach you are you need good to great players to win and execute at a high level. Stop covering unconditionally for BB.
Nah. But all the diaper babies loved this bc Mike lives in the same fantasyland world they do. 😂
I'm sorry Mike but purdy is not making anybody on that 49ers offense better
Someone needs to tell mac not to throw an int when he has a stinger and can't feel his arm and hand, have some accountability mac
ML LOL
This guy is a joke. Keeps blaming Mac (understandable) for everything. But Bill was the one ultimately responsible for everything. This is why he got fired and can't find a job. The game has passed him by years ago.
Three years ago they were a 10-win team, in the playoffs with a rookie QB. Losing his OC (McDaniels) crushed his future but the game has certainly not passed him by.
How is this guy even involved in sports talk
toxic
Bill needs somebody else more intelligent to go to bat for him
Used to respect Lombardi. I'm sure his last name hasn't helped him at all 😂😂😂
Not sure why it would considering they aren’t related - doubt teams say, ‘draft that guy Brady!!!’ despite not being of any relation.
Felger and Jones have nothing positive to say and Jones is trying to be Felger Jones SUCKS
Lombardi is the perfect example of a shill.
Lombardi’s bias is dripping out of his every pore like Rudy Giuliani’s hair dye.
This guy stinks
Guys!! Mac Jones sucks!!!! Go try to get something for him! Good luck.
Guy can’t throw a screen to save his life!! Can’t throw an incut or slant. He sucks!!
Get rid of mac
Lombardi is a hack
How ? He made many good points
Lombardi seems like the dumbest interview I've heard all week. 🤭
Idk what’s funnier that you don’t listen good or don’t nothing about football lmao 😂
Belichick, Inc blaming the QB, but not the entire offense, as assembled by Belichick. Horrible offensive line, below average receivers, and poorly coached.
This guy said purdy is making players better lol
His purdy comment was just lazy and wrong his weapon are who they are hes not making them better but he is very good but thats it
Mike Lombardi breaking his back trying to carry water for Bill. Please no more "Friends of Bill" interviews.
