Last year was easily one of Belichick's greatest seasons. If not his best.
Proving all of the naysayers wrong with injuries on top of injuries--Brady, Harrison, AD, Maroney, Morris, Jordan, Warren, Wilfork, Rookie AND Patchwork LB's, Secondary injuries and learning the system, the incredible work done with Cassel
A lot of calls seemed to go the other teams way--yet we set a record for fewest franchise penalties
A patchwork RB by committee system, and a somewhat patchwork OL that ended up being our 3rd best rushing output in 50 years
Another perfect December, after 2 back to back west coast trips where we had to stay out there for a total of a month--yet our only west coast loss was to San Diego
Losing a key offensive coordinator, special teams coach, secondary coach, and best friend VP of player personnel--AGAIN--without missing a beat
Proving every single doubting naysayer and so-called journalist wrong from week 1 all the way to the last possible 4th place tie-breaker loss at the hands of Brett Favre
Another double digit 11-5 season under all of those unlikely scenarios, getting every single person from the 53 man roster down to BJGE from the practice squad to believe in themselves for months when no one else did.
Every person, player, front office personnel, coach--and anyone from the hot dog vendor down to the last doubting fan should be counting our blessings for a season like last year. We could've been 4-12 or 5-11 easily.
We didn't go anywhere but up last year, Lombardi trophy or not. You should be ashamed of yourself
