BB has been slippery when asked about his favorite team but I have got to believe that it is his current team. He did let slip to Fred and Steve that this was his most hard-working and diligent team.

I have to believe that coaching up such a talented group of youngsters must be tremendously satisfying although the final evaluation on his fav. team will obviously depend on the post season.

Looking at the post 2010 Patriots by draft you have to see why

“21 UFAs....Incredible.
23 after the 3rd round”

This is the youngest team and a team made up of guys no one else wanted or saw potential in. I was blown away by that. Coach of the year without a doubt.

My thoughts as well. The voters will want to give it to someone who hasn't got it before, but if your just look at each coach's piece of work this one has to be the best in the league this year.

Nah, I don't think this is his favourite. It's up there, maybe even second, but I think he'll always love the 2004 team the most.

Not arguing with you but is it b/c of 3 in 4 or last one with his dad or CW and RAC you think?

I gotta think 2001. It's kinda like your first born. You love all the kids equally but the first is just. well.....different.

If asked, I wonder if the 2007 squad closed the deal, where would they rank in his mind?

CW and RAC definitely had something to do with it, as with the sealing of the dynasty. I've bought the DVD of the 01, 03, and 04 seasons, and seeing inside the locker room and BB himself, it seems that it was his ideal football team.

2001's gotta be special as well.

07, I dunno. As great as it was, it wasn't the classic 'Patriots', Bill Belichick style team. It was more a collection of talent, IMO.

If I were to guess, I would guess that, based on what he said on the '04 America's Game, it would be the 2004 team. He was even asked by Kraft if that team was his favorite. I bet 2001 is up there as well as it's the first time he won a Super Bowl as a head coach.

Part of BB's success is that he doesn't allow himself to get too emotionally involved with players. I doubt that he does. He let Lawyer go right after that Super Bowl season (or was it the following year?) Head coaches can't allow their emotions to get in the way of tough personnel decisions. BB never has in the past.

Milloy was with the team in 2002. Belichick let him go right before Week 1 of the 2003 season.

'04 was my favorite team, mainly because I've never heard 70,000 fans act so tough, only to go home whimpering like those terrible towel wavers at Heinz Field. I still remember that game in slow motion, with all the big, bad talk and constant reminders about the Halloween game, with the Patriots going in there with their hatchets and chopping them up slowly.

It was at that point when I wondered if perhaps Brady was going to be the greatest quarterback of all-time.
