Bill Belichick Appreciation Thread

[Ian]

Merged these. @h0c2000 already had one going, so it made sense to combine them and reopen his.

 

[signbabybrady]

I don't see one. Bill's had so much success here, there's not much to add. So many good memories that outweigh any bad memories. Best of luck in the future and hope he beats Shula's record.

What's changed why don't you appreciate him anymore?

When he said, "I don't see one." He was referring to the fact that he didn't see a thread for it when he posted it. He's the one who originally started the thread on this that already had a lot of responses, so I merged it.

For someone who is 41-68 (0.376) in his last 109 games as head coach with a certain QB as his starter, those increments are glacial.

2024 he appreciated but he no longer does.

Everyone still appreciate Bill?

Bill did more good than bad for the Patriots. He held two explosive Rams offenses to a combined twenty points in two different SB's. He once held a Manning led offense to three points. His non-timeout vs Seattle. 16-0 during a regular season. Everyone points to the 28-3 comeback and Tom Brady. For good reason. However, the defense gave up a total of 21 points to that explosive Atlanta offense. Including 7 in the second half. Strip sack included too.

Stamina was a big difference in that game. Along with Shanahan's play calling.

True.

Snapping the ball with 15 seconds or more on the play click, long developing pass plays too.

The defense stepping up had a huge role in the 28-3 comeback no question about it.

But I think Bill getting credit for the non timeout vs Seattle is overstated tbh.

If he calls timeout, they have a chance to rethink that idiotic playcall.

Of course, if they score and the offense has virtually no time left, Belichick gets criticized to this day.

What makes him great is that he did not care what others thought. He thinks ahead better than most coaches.

That's what I'm saying. It's one of those things where all he did was roll the dice and it worked out so he's called a genius - but would be called a lot of other things if it didn't.

And if Butler didn't intercept the ball if he just knocked down the pass they get another shot from the 1 with time running down.

Coulda shoulda woulda. Give it a rest. Yegads.

Just seems like you go out of your way to minimize
BB's performance.

That's not minimizing his performance. It's a fact that he wouldn't exactly be called a genius if the Seahawks ended up scoring and the Patriots had almost no time left for a comeback. He rolled the dice and thankfully it worked but I'm not going to say it was a 4D chess kind of thing....

 

[signbabybrady]

I thought this was an appreciation thread?

Ian let's the Bill haters put their hate wherever they want. Haters comments all over the main forum too.

Then he wonders why I think he's a hater.

Hater hate hate hatey h8r.
