Robert Kraft is in his 30th year as the owner of the New England Patriots, and it's been three decades of nearly unparalleled success for the 82-year-old Kraft and his franchise. In those 30 seasons (in fairness, 29, since we're in the middle of the 30th), the Patriots have won the AFC East 19 times, made ten Super Bowl appearances, carried the Lombardi Trophy away from six of them, and had only four losing seasons (with a fifth very likely on the way). This year, the Patriots have already lost seven games, which prior to this year, they had only done six other times in Kraft's tenure, so it's understandable that Kraft would express some disappointment with the way things have been going when he spoke with Rich Eisen on NFL Gameday.

Imagine that for a second. Imagine owning an NFL team for as long as Kraft has, and it taking until your 30th year with the team before you were in a position where your team was staring a 2-7 record in the face. Talk about champagne problems, huh?

Plenty of changes may be on the way in New England. There have long been rumblings that this will be Bill Belichick's final season as head coach of the Patriots, which is a hard reality to even imagine given how integral Belichick has been to the success of the Pats in this extended run. Equally, if not even more unlikely to be back next year is Patriots quarterback Mac Jones, who has had a disastrous season in his third year with the Patriots.

But you know just as well as I do, the right coach and quarterback can take you from the basement of the league to the very tippy top in no time, and Kraft, whose standard of success has been set so high, may be on the hunt for both of them.
