The Pats outwork everyone. The coaches are expected to burn the candle at both ends. Matt and Joe are products of that environment. They thrived as coaches under Belichick's tutelage. There's no reason to doubt it will happen again.
When they killed the Jets in 2010 (or 2011, can't remember), one of their players later on said "they tried to end our season". That game ended up being 45-3, and at the start of the 4th quarter Belichick had the whole team huddle up to demand they play for 60 minutes. I think that player was...
I haven't read the whole thread, so apologies if this has been discussed already, but I think the aspect of Monday getting missed is the psychological component.
There was no need to throw only three times. They could've risked some short stuff, screens, dump offs, etc. They were in 3rd and...
He bought the team, inherited the coach, then went out and hired the best available: Bill Parcells. The team made a Super Bowl appearance.
Parcells mercs his way out, who's next? Pete Carroll, who didn't prove himself at the time, but has proven himself since.
After that? He gives up a first...
So the premise here is Bill is jealous of these guys? He axed/let them go, not for myriad reasons that few people are privy to, but because he wants all the money for himself?
They were a powerhouse for twenty years thanks to expert cap management, and you're faulting him for this? It's not...
Look at his record without Robert Kraft.
I don't remember you at all.
I would say he joined a team with perhaps the greatest collection of offensive talent ever assembled, and added leadership and the astonishing ability to NOT throw 33 ints.
They'd look better with Mahomes or Rodgers...
You could pair Belichick with four or five other contemporary QBs, and the results would've been similar (maybe six, maybe less, maybe more).
You couldn't name a single other contemporary coach to pair with Brady that would've produced six championships.
Add to that: Belichick isn't just the...
I wouldn't say they look any worse than they did in 2018, when they got smashed by the likes of Jacksonville and Detroit early on, and ended up winning #6.
They've got a rookie QB who's learning on the fly, and looks good. They have a defence that needs to gel.
This thread proves it: We...
It is sad to see, thank God Bill couldn't care less.
Belichick has six Lombardis; no other coach has more than one. They're losing tight games to great teams, with a rookie QB who is learning on the job. Stay tuned.
When you have a veteran-laden roster that spends five straight years competing for Super Bowls, your drafts are going to look worse because there's much less opportunity for young talent to shine.
There's less patience, less practice reps, less game time, less money.
Nobody calls a draft a...
This, right here. Every "Belichick is garbage" comment should be accompanied by the name of the guy we should have instead (as HC, and as GM).
The Patriots have had such ludicrous success that coverage of them is skewed. Analysts go out of their way to be negative and push the "dynasty is...
