1. This is another way to say you made it up for effect
2. I’ll say it again, they had a lackluster season, he’s been one of the 2 most successful coaches In the league over the last 5 years…does this tarnish that?
3. All it took for Belichick was to lose his qb, to be under .500 in a 10 year sample…are you grading both the same or no? He was 5-13 in 2000 and 2001 with all that talent, so maybe he did fall into that type of rut and you forgot about it?
4. I didn’t make excuses, I’ve acknowledged it’s been a down year, I’ve helped you acknowledge they aren’t as good roster wise as you think they are. But at least you’ve now used the logic that all you need is 4 good players to win
