“The Worst Years of My Ownership”: Robert Kraft Speaks Candidly After Patriots’ Back-to-Back 4–13 Seasons In a brutally honest reflection, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft didn’t hold back when assessing the state of his team. Following two consecutive 4–13 finishes in the 2023 and 2024 NFL seasons, the longtime owner declared this stretch “the worst years of my 31 years of ownership.” That statement hits hard—especially coming from a man who has built one of the most successful dynasties in NFL history…

Robert Kraft Admits Brutal Truth: “Worst Years of My Ownership” After Patriots Endure Back-to-Back 4–13 Seasons

For a franchise defined by two decades of dominance, the past two seasons have felt like a painful departure from everything the New England Patriots stand for. And no one understands that better than the man at the top — team owner Robert Kraft.

In a moment of rare and raw honesty, Kraft addressed the state of the Patriots organization following another dismal campaign, calling 2023 and 2024 “the worst years of my 31 years of ownership.” That’s no small statement from the man who’s seen the franchise win six Super Bowls, appear in nine, and log 22 playoff appearances since taking ownership in 1994.

A Dynasty in Decline

Back-to-back 4–13 seasons have not only tested the patience of one of the league’s most passionate fanbases but have also marked an alarming low for a franchise that once redefined the word “sustained success.” From 2001 to 2019, New England was synonymous with winning. Now, for the second year in a row, the Patriots find themselves near the bottom of the NFL standings — and far from the postseason picture.

Kraft, typically reserved in public criticism, didn’t hold back.

“This isn’t what Patriots football is about,” he said. “We owe it to our fans, to our history, and to ourselves to be better. These have been the toughest two years I’ve experienced since buying the team.”

Post-Brady Struggles

Since the departure of Tom Brady in 2020, the Patriots have struggled to find a new identity — and a new leader under center. The quarterback carousel has failed to deliver consistent production, and coaching turnover has only compounded the problems. Once the NFL’s gold standard for player development and execution, New England now appears to be a team in transition — and in need of reinvention.

What’s Next for New England?

With Bill Belichick now gone after a legendary run as head coach, all eyes turn to the Patriots’ front office and new coaching staff to revive the culture and build around a new core. Kraft made it clear that patience is running thin.

“We’re going to make the necessary changes. This isn’t about nostalgia — it’s about results,” he emphasized.

There is optimism in New England’s young talent and upcoming draft capital, but Kraft’s message makes one thing clear: the grace period is over.

Conclusion

For Robert Kraft to call any period “the worst” in over three decades speaks volumes. It’s a stark reminder that even dynasties stumble — and that the standard in New England remains sky-high. As the Patriots attempt to right the ship heading into 2025, one thing is certain: the clock is ticking, and the expectations have never been clearer.

New England wants a return to relevance. Kraft demands it.
