Last year as we all chewed are fingers to bloody stumps - not for fear of elimination, just not winning EVERY game - my friend Tony (a Bucs fan) would always re-assure me when we were down in a game. He'd say "The thing about the Patriots is, they know how to win games. They may fall behind, they may lose guys, but they will almost always find a way to pull it off."
It wasn't much comfort after losing the... you know. But I was reminded of it today skimming the NFP before firing up the "beast that eats my time".

My only issue is a really annoying technicality. Virtual means the same as actual. Cassel has played 7 games, hundreds of snaps, been in the system for several years, etc... He hasn't "virtually never played."
Anyway, I'm glad Bill is the coach of this team. He is man of vision and who understands work ethic. He realizes that team is more valuable than stars and values team players more than any others.
Brady is amazing because, despite all that he has accomplished, he is a team player. Staying supportive of Matt, taking pay adjustments to make the team better.
This team has a long list of this type of guys and I think the group going into their golden years of the NFL will be remembered the same way.
This team will find a way to win.

What makes Belichick so unique is that he finds ways to win games and rarely does he make mistakes at the end of the half that costs his team the game. His situational football is one of the best in the NFL and even without Tom Brady, he is able to win games. He has a defense that has some holes, no running backs, and a quarterback that has virtually never played. If he wins the AFC East, he is my coach of the year, because instead of *****ing about the problem, he is finding ways to solve the problem, without screaming or causing a scene. It is never about him, only about the team.
