The Patriots took it a step further simply not letting McVay make a call for him at all.

If anything this proves more than ever that the Rams success was built around schemeing and coaching up their guys. Goff can’t read a defense and they got that far, if Taylor can add concepts to help us out while having a capable QB who can read a defense the sky is the limit.

I know he was going up against the best coach in the game but still.  The WR did not help him, and the good run by TG with that horrible holding call did not help.

Receiver is insanely difficult to make the Hall. I personally think there is next to zero chance he gets in.

Give him a couple years and he will have a crack he is only in his second year of eligibility, no one is saying Edelman is a first ballot guy. As you said Bruce isn't yet (but he will), timing has as much to do with it as anything and Bruce it a loaded time span. If Edleman plays 3 more years (and does what I mentioned earlier) he then has the five year lay off it actually will clear out some of the WR back log and be before some of this era's WRs become eligible.

We will agree to disagree on this one, but I think especially if he retires the same year Brady does and they are HoF eligible at the same time Edelman could follow Brady in the year after riding on his coat tails.

Point being, Zak hasn't even had a chance to coach a pre-season game for the Bengals and some folks are shooting darts at him for the Rams game yesterday.  All GOOD coaches have some dips in their career.  As good as Belichick is, he's had some rough patches, too.  I think he's the best HC the NFL has ever seen.  

You want to look at the bright side, Taylor is the coach of the best QB I've ever seen recently, too (except for yesterday).

Yeah, definitely not even close. If all it takes to get in the HOF is being a good playoff performer, then Joe Flacco would go in with Edelman.

There is another caveat there, Gronk needs to retire now so that he goes in 3 or 4 years ahead to remove "Patriot Fatigue" because Brady will be a 1st ballot so there will be a run of Patriots going in.

I get why people are saying no way, but I think they will look at the slot position from this era different in 10 years.

Kudos to the Patriots defense, but no Rams adjustments were made in the second half. This is our new coach? Not sure what to expect now.
