santoro770 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) I posted something similar to an ESPN thread that trashed Rex in regards to having Enemkpali as a captain (I know..I know), but I realized something really starling. The comparisons between our Bills and the Pats current run are kinda...spooky? Firstly, since taking over the Pats, Belichick has been freaking unbeatable; we all know this..but did you know he's only lost 7 games two freaking times with the Pats (never lost 8, 9 or 10 - lost 11 games once....his first season there!!) This is not a kiss Belichick's butt thread, but rather a comparison. Let's first...kiss Bill's (Belichick that is) butt. Belichick's records with the Browns (I know it was the Browns, but he had Testaverde right?) were: 6-10 ('91), 7-9 ('91), 7-9 ('93), 11-5 ('94), 5-11 ('95). He was 5-11 his first season with the Patriots and the man hasn't lost more than 7 games EVER since then....yup, that's for realsies! Incredible stuff. Oh, that's right, he's lost (not counting that first 11 loss season) 7 (1 time), 6 games (twice), 5 games (twice), 4 games (4 times), 3 games (1 time), 2 games (3 times), and 0 games (twice including this season)....HOLY CRAP!!! That means more times than not he was at LEAST 12-4...wow. My point is this. Belichick spurned the Jets for that head coaching job because he KNEW what he had in New England. An owner in Robert Kraft that would do ANYTHING to win. Kraft knows how to empower the right people and put people in position to win. This is why NE wins...well that and Tom Brady (who I firmly believe is in that organization because of Kraft....Kraft let people do what they are good at, true businessman). Belichick can take his share of the credit, but it comes back to Org. Structure....putting people in position to succeed (Org. structure being my passion and educational background). I'm not saying that Rexy Ryan is Belichick, but let's let the man coach for at least a couple years in Buffalo before we pass judgement. Rex has been 9-7 ('09), 11-5 ('10), 8-8 ('11), 6-10 ('12), 8-8 ('13), 4-12 ('14), and 5-4 (currently in '15). AGAIN, the Bills are clearly not the Patriots (yet) and although Terry Pegula is not Robert Kraft, there has to be some semblance of hope for us Bills fans. Pegula has run very successful business as Kraft had done, and Kraft figured out a way to transfer his knowledge of business to the NFL. Kraft is the standard (maybe the Rooney family as well and very select others)...but someone else has to come along....right? Belichick had 41 wins in his first six seasons, and Ryan had 46? Both defensive coaches who have come to an organization that's revitalized (new owner) and ready to win? (Btw, Kraft bought the Pats in 1994 for $172 million bucks - the most ever spent for a team at that time. Kraft cited his passion for the Patriots that lead him to break his own financial rules in pursuit of HIS team - just another coincidence). Here's to hoping my comparisons aren't ill fated! Again, not trying to say the Bills will ever be the Patriots but at least there's finally hope and we can take solice in a head coach that, althought he may not be Bill Belichick...aren't we 5 wins ahead of the pace (with a coach that's hopefully in the right situation)? We have already won as many games as Belichick did in his first season with the Pats......and although we all hate the comparison, that's who we are chasing. Also, Brady came to NE in 2000 (behind Bledsoe, John Friesz, and Michael Bishop - #2 by end of the season and 1 for 3 passing for six yards) and he took over in game 3 in 2001, so wasn't ALL him. Can't sleep and thought these #'s between Ryan and Belichick and comparisons to Pegula and Kraft were interesting. Entering year #7 as a HC with a new team and new owner.... Thoughts?

PearlHowardman Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Buffalo Bills head coach Rex Ryan is a loudmouth clown. New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is a cerebral thinker and excellent planner The outcome of next Monday's MNF game between the Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots has already been determined by Patriots head coach Bill Belichick.
