Except there's an actual set pattern NFL schedules follow so thats sorta debunked before it could ever even get any traction. It cant really even be a theory. it would just be somebody not paying attention to how the scheduling pattern works.

Like....before Tom decided to sign there? Sure, he may have looked at the schedule and decided on Tampa because it was such a cakewalk, but there’s no conspiracy here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabel Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I gotta say, it feels like the Twilight Zone to see the Patriots ranked somewhere other than top of the mountain. I suppose that's what happens when a team dominates for 20 years. They did lose a lot of players and had players opt out but Belichick believes he can succeed with any player plugged into his system. Year after year he wins games with guys that might be backups on a different team. He's always been able to do that because he never has to compensate for the most important position in the game: QB. When that's taken care of, it makes everything else a lot easier. You can afford to be below average in a few spots because you know you have a QB that can strap the team on his back at any moment. I also feel like he's in a bit over his head. I know he's done this in other years but again, he doesn't have the luxury of not having to worry about the QB and really the offense in general since he has McDaniels. But other than him, I don't believe he has a defensive coordinator or a special teams coach, I believe he's handling those aspects himself and delegating things to his mullet-headed kid and some other assistants. He's also the GM so he has a lot on his plate and maybe he should really consider balancing his staff a little better so he doesn't have so much responsibility. This is 100% a winnable game for the Bills. Two ugly losses and an ugly win... shake it off, go in there and smack them around and win in a definitive fashion, doshgarnnit!

streetkings01 Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) He's at again this morning. Bill Belichick owns the Bills, he never loses to them, wont lost to them this Sunday and Patriots turn it around. Lets leave out the fact that #12 is gone. Lets leave out the fact that last year we almost beat the Pats twice with #12. Edited October 28, 2020 by streetkings01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not wrong, but it was a brutal reminder how futile the Bills vs Patriots matchups have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know the history, but did you notice not once did they mention Brady? They acted as if he had nothing to do with beat downs for 20 years, like it was all Belichick.

streetkings01 Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 Can’t wait to hear talk radio today especially GMF today when they discuss the Pats. I already read an article on ESPN about how this season eerily similar to Belichick’s 2000 season before they won it all in 2001 and once again leaving out that he had Tom Brady. IMO under Belichick I can see the Pats being a team that will always have a solid to very good defense year in and year out, they’ll also have some seasons where they win double digit games and make the playoffs, but they’ll also have some mediocre seasons thrown in there as well.

BB is still an all time great coach. However, I think they need to find a GM if that team is going to win double digit games again. Belichick’s greatest hurdle to success is the GM, and the GM happens to be him. Brady made countless average players look good. They no longer have that luxury, and Belichick’s love of players that fit his system over talent will come back to haunt him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaaadThingsMan Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Belicheat is even good at tanking. He has everyone convinced that they are "trying" to be competitive. It's genius level deceit, the man has perfected the art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only began to doubt them when they led the NFL in COVID opt outs. Belichick is a great coach. But even a great coach can't win without good players and right now the Pats just don't have enough of them. Some people are just conservative by nature. They have trouble believing in change until it happens. I'm a bit that way. I'm not surprised the Bills are leading the AFCE at this point but I am surprised the Pats are in 3rd. I was predicting Bills, Pats, Fins, Jets. It's just hard to imagine - despite contrary predictive evidence - a Pats fall of this magnitude. Even now, I'm not putting next week's game in the win column just yet. Belichick has ruined too many Sundays for me to discount him. But look at how many times in spite of all this the Pats have had a chance at the end of the game. 3 times they have had the ball at the end of the game with the ability to tie or take the lead. Seahawks, Broncos, Bills. All 3 times they failed. The NFL has a narrow margin between teams that are 2-5 and teams that are 6-2. The Bills and Pats records could easily be reversed if not for some luck, timely plays the Bills have made the Pats haven't and a few fortuitous calls by the refs. The big difference between Bills under McD versus other coaches during the drought is that more often than not the Bills are the team making the plays to win the games when it's crunch time versus the other team making the plays.

Nope. In the 2021 regular season schedule is Tampa Bay @ New England. Which will be the week 1 Sunday Night Football game. She's not riding off into the sunset before then.
