This quote from the article says a about TB:

This is a guy who, when the schedule came during the off-season, would identify the defensive coordinator for each of our opponents and start looking back at film from everywhere that coordinator had coached in the previous five years — just to study tendencies and get a step ahead before the season started. That’s how dedicated he is to his craft.

Knowing this a Pat fan is always in advantage . any Sunday (not needed to be given) . any Pat day.

Also because every opponent is knowing this . carrying this in his head . a seed of frustration . like the clip of Rice or the clip of Dolphins D coach demonstrated last week . or Jonathan Joseph just before the game says:

“He knows every defense that’s known to mankind that you’re going to show him, so you have to do a good job of mismatching your coverages, disguising your coverages, things like that,” Joseph said this morning on PFT Live. “He’s the best to play the game, super competitor, an ultra-competitive guy.”

TB is the closest thing to having BB on the field. I believe thats the key to their incredible success.

But I gotta be honest, Pats fans … y’all are spoiled.

Yeah, I said it.

Spoiled.

Winning will do that.

Hit winner before I even clicked the link.

UPDATE: Was winner worthy, thought the title was cringe worthy until Faulk dispelled the myth of there beings some sort of moral code in Patriot Place.

Kevin Faulk weighs in on the slippery concept of the ‘Patriot Way’

In 2002, with the Patriots on their way to a 9-7 record after winning their first Super Bowl, Belichick addressed the team at one point and said, “I’ve read a couple of comments. Now I don’t spend a lot of time reading the paper, I really don’t. But I do watch a little about what we say and what we think. I’ve seen a couple comments here, some of the players talking about we need to get our ‘swagger’ back. Our attitude back. You know what. We didn’t have a ‘swagger’ last year. If you ****ing think about it, we didn’t have a swagger. What we had was a sense of urgency, a sense of urgency about playing well, being smart and capitalizing on every opportunity and situation that came our way … it wasn’t about a f---ing swagger. You can take that swagger and shove it up your ass, okay?” (from Holley's Patriots Reign)
