I am thoroughly enjoying this season. There is no pressure. There is no expectation. The Patriots are 5-2. Brady has been out the entire year and they are 5-2. Could we have honestly hoped for that when Brady went down?
Think about this. They will going into Indy with a better record than them. Can you imagine if we beat the Colts without Brady and go to 6-2? Can you imagine how crazy that would make their fans?
The Steelers are 5-2. Steeler fans have been saying the Patriots are old news for 4 years now. Without Brady we have the same record. Do you know how this is driving them nuts?
Belichick long ago proved he was up in the top 2 or 3 of all time and there are so many terrific coaching jobs he has done. So far this is right there with the best of them. And I think, ironically, he is enjoying this challenge and the results he is getting more than he would have gotten from a Brady led 5-2 or 6-1 season with all the must win the Super Bowl or else hype.
I am so looking forward to Sunday night. And what Michaels and Madden will be saying if its the 4th qtr and the Brady-less Patriots are about to go 6-2.
Even at 5-3 they would be on pace for a 10-6 season which in my view would automatically get Belichick coach of the year.
