Kerry Byrne: Bill Belichick has lost his mojo
 

Re: Kerry Byrne:Bill Belichick has lost his mojo
 

Another moron ... Belichick is making teams beat us by throwing to their receivers. Our secondary is getting better each week. I'm expecting the coverage to tighten now with Mayo back. with Mayo out the coverage has been soft as Belichick has employed the secondary to pick up the slack in tackles.

Every year these idiots talk this crap and every year I say it takes 6-8 games for our defense to get tighter ... it develops as the season goes along. I'm expecting it to get better as Butler and perhaps Chung get more reps. Until then Bill is playing the classic bend but don't break.

I think it was working fine except perhaps that Denver air caught up to our guys in the 4th quater. If the offense had done their job none of this would be a problem with the talking head idiots.

People need to stop believing the myth that Belichick controls every single thing.

He gives his coordinators tons of autonomy, always has as Pats coach.

Our struggles are very related to a new offensive coordinator, and a vanilla D coordinator.

Interesting article.

There is a lot to think about there. Those numbers are concerning.

im not sure you know what your talking about cause i deff dont see mayo contributing to coverage as i see him as a good tackling run stuffer. and BB is forcing teams to throw to their recievers?...i guess idk much about football cause thats what i think recievers are for am i wrong?

Yikes, Byrne went full retard. Passer rating is a pretty spotty stat, so if his entire argument hinges on that, then that's pretty suspect. I don't absolutely disagree with the premise, but this guy completely fails to conduct any kind of an analysis on *why* Belichick's defenses aren't doing great lately. He's just listing off numbers, and cherry-picked numbers at that. Useless article by a useless writer.

Hey he makes some good points and has the "COLD HARD FOOTBALL FACTS" to back him up. You can't argue with those can you? But you also can't argue that in the four seasons since Belichick won his last Super Bowl the Pats have gone to the AFCCG twice, and had a 16-0 season. You can break down every statistic there is, but the cold hard football fact that really counts is W or L. And Belichick has not lost is ability to get Ws, even if it is with a suspect D.


CHFF is so far up their own a$$es they've lost sight that this is a game that is played on the field, not some number crunching experiment where everything can be explained by mathmatical formulas.

Ummm ... Mayo has been injured ... that's why the secondary has been making most of the tackles. When Mayo is on the field the secondary has less stress in covering the run.
