My opinion: Belichick's final season

[SVN]

I've seen this alluded to, and I apologize if this was previously in this thread, but I didn't see it.

BB is not stupid. There are ways to do exactly what is accused without being caught. I can't remember who, but someone pointed out that those cameras dont' have to record anything, they can just pass it to the box like a live feed for upstairs... where it is recorded and or used and disseminated.

so..
a) Was this a brain-cramp?
b) Did he WANT to get caught?
c) Is there a strategic advantage to being labeled cheater?

By being caught, and then punished, does that allow BB to go on some sort of massive quest to topple the entire problem? ie Ratting out 31 other coaches, and exposing all the different tricks they use?

By being a labeled a cheater, does that mean folks will underestimate the talent and skill of the coaching staff?

Could it be purely a headgame? Making the Jets think they knew when they didn't?

It just seems to me that it's conceivable that BB had some motive bigger than stealing signs here. I feel like im' missing something when I read these stories.

i think he purely underestimated the extent to which the jets would go to catch him. He assumed everyone was doing it so he didnt expect mangini to get him caught. simple as that.

I think we have to prepare for the strong possibility Belichick walks away after the season.

Players' past achievements will wrongly be brought into question. Even Brady's legacy will be questioned.

I have never been a "in Bill we trust" guy. and I know there are those who will defend him no matter what...

I just happen to think us fans matter, and this scandal affects us, too, not just those within the organization.

BB is not going anywhere.....

Are you FRICKEN serious, BRADY's legacy will be questioned????

If you are not an "in BB we trust guy," then what are you? A bandwagoner?

You have too much free time or no life at all if a violation of a rule affects you enough to have lost your mind in this manner.

BRADY'S LEGACY?????? Someone please shoot me, it's a world gone fricken mad!

Until at least the day he's fired...no, not BB - Mangenius....

Second worst mistake he made in his life was going to the JETS. Close third was signing on the coach an AFCE team. Numero uno - ratting out his mentor, kiss of death in NY and likely beyond. Hope he's banking those HC checks.

It's obvious that the Mangenius is desperate to deflect media and fan attention away from his sub-par 2007 team's inept on field performance and onto other unrelated matters. In my opinion, he has shown real lack of character by 'ratting out his mentor'.

I think we have to prepare for the fact that you're a frantic, breathless little boy who is profoundly overreacting, with no basis for your hysteria. Please bet me. I will bet you ANY AMOUNT YOU NAME that Belichick does not "walk away" after this season. Please. I'm begging you.

 

[BelizePats]

I'm hoping that this is your final post!

 

[TomBrady'sGoat]

Because BB is so emotional and reactionary...

Anyway, I mostly posted to state that Parcells looking for a job before the '96 superbowl was easily a bigger distraction. Watch the hyperbole buddy.

 

[NEPatriot]

Persoanlly I dont' think he's going anywhere. I'm just trying to enjoy the season one game at a time.

Here's a guy who hates distractions, and he is the cause (imo) of the biggest distraction the team has ever faced.
Players will be fed stupid questions all year from both the ignorant and the biased.
Players' past achievements will wrongly be brought into question. Even Brady's legacy will be questioned.

I don't think we should hold our breath waiting for any explanation or apology from the coach for this "league matter".

[QuinielaBox]

To be honest, I think there is only one coach out there with more job security than Bill Belichick:


Joe Paterno at Penn St.

He also might outlast Bill, too

 

[cubicle_6]

My friend, you are embaressed for yourself and you should be ashamed of yourself. It's not like BB has multiple infractions, so go bury your head in the sand you sorry excuse of a Pats fan.

Um, no I'm not ashamed and I won't bury my head in the sand...like what most of you are doing.

Hey, *********, stick with the Red Sox...prick

 

[cubicle_6]

Your opinion has no basis in fact and is not worth a thread. Please refrain from starting new threads until you've had a bit more experience here.

I have a hell of a lot more "experience" than you realise...and you're not a mod.

 

[Pujo]

Um, no I'm not ashamed and I won't bury my head in the sand...like what most of you are doing.

Man, talking about being sensitive.

Us fans have feelings, you know, we cry!

People have short attenton spans - the media doubly so - and everything is blown way out of proportion right now, this is truly a minor scandal, life will go on as if nothing happened, except for the penalty we have to pay the league. Belichick will continue to win football games and nobody's going to drive him out of town while he's doing that. This is what I consider to be a "non-starter".

Why is this board infested with chumps who pretend to be Pats fans?

Before continuing to label yourself a Pats fan, please realize that with a single click on your name, ALL your posts come up. It only takes a minute to see the common theme spewing from your keyboard like rancid puke.

Are you so ashamed of your team that you won't even associate your name with them?

Whatever, but kindly stop with the dishonest and cowardly "we" and "us" bs, huh?

Wow, another idiot.
I certainly don't have to defend myself, and I shouldn't.
But I haven't missed a single play since 1994.
If there is a bigger fan than me, i've never met him.
Post count? Pleaaaase! I bet I have thousands more posts than you, just not here.

I agree, unless Kraft asks him to leave, I think this will drive him to want to win more to "prove" himself and secure his legacy. Then again maybe he just gets fed up with the hypocrisy of the NFL and walks away for a few years.

This would be the best case scenario... I would LOVE this to happen.

Don't have a heart attack now...

I'm sorry, but this is totally hilarious.

Then where?
The brides for inmates forum....provided such a board exists?

 

[pats1]

i assume you're referring to the poster and not to a departing BB.

It was addressed in the second-person, so unless the poster is BB, yes.
