Favorite Brady, Belichick, and Patriots Stats and Records

[glm]

I like how last year everybody in America was gushing over the fact that teams could barely score on the Seahawks in the 4th yet the Patriots defense was doing even better than the Seahawks in that category.

There's also the fact that Tommy crapped all over that D in the 4th quarter

Amazing stat from Alex Speier: In the Brady/Belichick era, the Patriots have the league's best winning percentage over the first half of the season...and the league's best improvement in winning percentage in the second half of the season.

Must've killed Kacsmar to have posted that. He's a proud Manning-fellating Brady hater. (And one of the worst Football Outsiders writers into the bargain.)

We have just witnessed the 14th consecutive winning season.. that puts us in 5th place all time, Dallas is #1 with 20(1966-1985)..

The Patriots, however, are the only team to have 10 consecutive winning seasons, since the advent of the salary cap...

We are witnessing history, savor every moment of it....

Little factoid, the Patriots have now appeared in 8 Superbowls... that is the most in the NFL (tied with Dallas and Pittsburgh)

I'm looking forward to 2021, when the Patriots have their record 21st winning season....five more - it's not a pipe dream.

Man, that chart is ridiculous. Just a sea of random numbers--and as Speier notes, most of the other teams that improve the most in the second half of the season were lousy anyway, so had plenty of room to improve--and then you have this row of ones at the top. Unbelievable how good this team has been and is.

EDIT: Just noticed something else. The Pats have won more than 82% of their games in the second half of the season this century. No other team has won 70%. Steelers are next at 67%.

Everytime this team takes the field I am impressed with what they have accomplished under the tutelage of the GOAT coach of all time.. sometimes we forget how impressive it is, despite the efforts of the NFL to try to diminish his accomplishments... he has to be cheating to be this good, nothing else makes sense to the "Mensa Society" at 345 Park Ave.

This illustrates how appreciative we should be.. and how far will BB go on this journey.

Keep in mind that that the season was expanded to 16 games in 1978.. without regard what BB has accomplished is beyond impressive.. but then there is the salary cap argument which favors BB..

All time wins by a HC..(regular season and playoffs)

1. Shula 347(328 regular season wins 29 playoff wins)

2. Halas 324(318 & 6)

3. Landry 270 (250 & 20)

4. Belichick 240 (218 & 22)

5. Lambeau 229 (226 & 3)​

Average wins per year…

1. Belichick 11.5 avg. wins per year(240 wins in 21 years)

2. Shula 10.5 avg. wins per year (347 in 33 years)

3. Landry 9.3 avg. wins per year (270 in 29 years)​

Playoff games/wins and winning percentage..

1. Belichick 31 playoff games, 22 wins, .710 winning percentage

2. Shula 36 playoff games, 19 wins, .528 winning percentage

3. Landry 36 playoff games 20 wins, .556 winning percentage​

The second half excellence reflects on the superior coaching of BB, he 'coaches 'em up' better than anyone else. It also reflects on BB the GM, the NFL season is a war of attrition, B doesn't try to collect all the shiny hood ornaments, he builds a deep roster that can deal with the inevitable injuries that happen during an NFL season.

The NYJFL is trying to diminish BB's accomplishments because they're still feeling like jilted lovers left at the altar. Lucky for us that BB knew (very quickly) that he was making a mistake and ended up here instead. It has to make you wonder just how much better the Pats/Belichick would have been if the NYJFL hadn't been trying to sabotage them since Fraudger took over as Fuhrer.

Hey Fraudger, way to go on that parity thing.

On the coaching comparison, I like to use winning %'s over totals. Using the totals causes what I call the Yaz Effect. With 33 years as a HC and having a HOF QB for almost all of them, Don Shula should be at or near the top.

Shula was coaching in a lot of the 14 game seasons also. That will throw off wins per season average.

That's the truly amazing thing. A few seasons of going from, say, 2-6 to 6-2 would presumably make a huge difference in the improvement rankings, but the Patriots never did that. They blew away the field by going from consistently good to consistently excellent. And consider that there's an 8-0 start in there that couldn't be improved on!

When I die (many years from now hopefully) I want an updated copy of this thread to be buried along with me.

How Shula managed to get so many wins and so few rings is incredible.

BB could lose both Bills games every year for 10 straight years and still have a winning record against them.

 

[RobertWeathers]

How Shula managed to get so many wins and so few rings is incredible.

While he is now an old senile coot, in fairness to Shula he ran into dynasties.

In the 60s he built a great Colts team that was a victim of the biggest upset of the 20th century. That team did go on to win the SB the year after he left. In years prior he had Paul Brown's Browns and Lombardi's Packers to contend with. Not gonna happen.

In the 70's, he won when he could which was early in the decade. From 1974 on, no one was getting past the Steelers unless they were injured.

In the 80s the NFC had superior teams. He did a great job with the quarterback-less Dolphins of the early 80s and built a kickass defense. Getting to the SB in 82 with David Woodley was a miracle. No one was stopping the 1984 49ers. Even if he did make it to the SB more in the 80s, he wasn't winning them.

I think he fell in love with Marino too much in the mid/late 80s. Got a little lazy IMO with personnel.

In the 90s he built a competitive team but the Bills were superior. He was in his mid 60's and was done.

I don't have the time to go through all 6 pages of this tread, so apologies in advance if this has been mentioned already.....and it isn't even a record.

One thing that is rarely mentioned when they are talking about Tom Brady's greatness came in his 2 superbowl LOSSES. In all the talk about those Giant teams putting pressure on him.(which they did) And all the mediots who throw out QBR ratings, and advanced metrics to show how Brady didn't do well in those games. What they forget is that in BOTH games, with his team behind, late in the 4th quarter; he led his team on a long TD drive to take the lead.

In fact, in 5 superbowls Tom Brady had to take his team on late 4th quarter drives to win or take the lead in those games (only in 2004 did he have the luxury to watch some OTHER QB try and come from behind). Who the f*ck has ever come even close to that. FIVE times. Tom Brady GOAT, and #2 isn't close.

 

[1960Pats]

How Shula managed to get so many wins and so few rings is incredible.

Having a 19-17 playoff record helped.

It's even more remarkable considering that of his 33 years as a HC he had this breakdown of QBs;
1 year Scott Mitchell
2 - Earl Morrall
3 - David Woodley
6 - Johnny Unitas
9 - Bob Griese (2 SB wins after being fined a 1st round pick for cheating)
12 - Dan Marino

I thought that Shula had 3 SB wins as a HC but I couldn't find more than the 2 he had with Griese.

You are so right. I've read a few more pages now and I have to resist the urge to find some lotion and a quiet place. This is pure Patriot porn
