I'm sure he'll be the Pats next head coach when his pops retires so we are looking at another 40+ more years of a Belichick on the Pats sideline.

After he damaged his reputation by jilting the Colts on the Church Doorstep to run back to them and everything? ? It's one thing to call the plays. It's another thing to design them, figure out the right player personnel to execute them, and coach them. So don't call for the bust in Canton quite yet.

Mister Defense Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Do others find a post like this very contradictory? In the subject he refers to the tired-old -sour-grapes-nickname for Bill Belichick. But then goes on to indicate that he has almost over the top admiration for the coaching ability of both Bill Belichick and his son, fearing that the dominance of the Belichicks will continue, and in fact progress, for "40+ more years" . While like most Bills fans I am sick of being dominated by the Patriots, I clearly understand that this dominance has nothing to do with cheating. But the poster also clearly implies the same thing. It is not a logical thought process there, and one we see too often on this board.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and it seems like many actually, but then he indicates that he thinks that Belichick, and his son too, are almost coaching gods. So, are they so dominant because of the cheating or because of historically amazing coaching? He indicates one reason in the subject statement, but then clearly implies the latter in his actual post. It seems he cannot have it both ways! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notwoz Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I wouldn't be in a hurry to crown him. It's beginning to sound like Belichick is adjusting to the idea of coaching a few more years (or at least until Brady's arm falls off). I also think about the mediocre records of all his assistants who went on to become head coaches. I keep thinking that he teaches them all they know. But he doesn't teach them all he knows. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerome007 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Nepotism rarely works, but this year their D has been spectacular, with no stars really to speak of. Gilmore is a top CB for sure, as much as I disliked his attitude here, but besides that it seems the coaching since last year's playoffs has been the best ever. I used to think Bellichick, while damn good, got lucky with Brady, but last year and so far in 2019, he is on another level. Yet yes, I do believe he also cheats LOL I wouldn't be surprised they somehow can know what the opposing offences will do by some cheating means.

blacklabel Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Imagine being lil' Joshy McDaniels, grinding away year after year for like 19 seasons now, stuck with the organization because he believes he's being groomed to take over once ol' Bill retires. But then Bill says, "You know what, I feel pretty good. I was gonna hang it up at 70 but I think I'll keep going." Then Bill hits 78 and says, "I'mma give the reins to my boy, Steve. Sorry, Josh." Couldn't happen to a douchier douche than McDaniels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone who knows how to do so set up some kind of good poll to find out what percentage of people on this site think that the Patriots' dominance over the Bills and the NFL itself, is due more to cheating or to other things such as coaching and their organization. I would like to think, or hope, that most believe the latter is true. But I would not bet that is the case. There is almost no backup for those believing the first reason beyond 1-2 incidents and conspiracy theories, it seems. To me, it seems like little kids, or adults, who lose at arm wrestling and always finding some fault, unfairness in their opponent's victory. I would bet that most who believe that it is because of cheating are those same people who say: he twisted my wrist (lifted his elbow, started too soon, used his body, made me laugh, hypnotized me...) when they lose at arm wrestling.
