The New England Patriots announced the organization’s All-Decade Team for the 2010s Wednesday.
And while quarterback Tom Brady, tight end Rob Gronkowski, receiver Julian Edelman and others perhaps were no-brainers, there might have been a few players who were up for debate.
Well, Patriots fans decided to lead that debate on Twitter following the announcement. Many shared who they thought were deserving, and others who were snubbed from the list.
Here’s what some had to say:
Blount should be in

I would’ve had Blount as RB and move White to flex. But can’t really argue with them including Dola

Amendola for Welker at WR and Hernandez as the Flex

I think @ShaneVereen34 deserved some love

Disagree with Van Noy over Collins but good with all others picks.

Revis should be there instead of Butler

Logan Ryan

Yeah, not sure about the Chung pick, tbh.

Logan Mankins left in 2014. Although he's all timer, he doesn't fit neatly into the decade, so I'll give that spot to Shaq Mason. Also can we have a third receiver that is taller than 5'10"?

Mason has been their best OL arguably (other than last year). He should be on.

Trent Brown for Nate Solder. Solder has longevity but he honestly kinda sucked. Brown was a wall and a huge reason they won the title in 2018
— coach (@coachmayo7) April 29, 2020
Cordarrelle Patterson should be the RET, it may have only been for a short time but he was the best the pats had last decade

Some of those mentioned certainly could make compelling cases for inclusion, but overall, an extensive number of selections mirrored NESN.com’s all-decade roster.
