I hope that he coaches at least 5 years post-Brady. I think that he'll continue to win games but not sure if there will be a drop-off or none at all. I'm not attempting to make any kind of point but just curious whether the success will be on a similar level (i.e. will he win a SB or two within a 5 year post-Brady era)?

I don't like the Pats but I respect what Belichick has done; I doubt we will see another coach accomplish as much as he has anytime soon, much like his protege Saban at Alabama.

quote:

- The Patriots have played in the AFC Championship Game 11 times under Belichick, including the last 6 straight.


This is insane.

Belichick is a football genius. It helps that he has a HOF QB at the helm too.

I guess your division will have trouble if each team can chalk up two losses each year to the Patriots. Same can be said about the Steelers who get to play Cleveland and Cinci twice each year. Or Denver who got to play a pathetic Oakland and hapless SD team for the last decade (accept this year.) And the Chiefs were 66 and 94 between 2003 and 2013. or Indy who has the 3 NFL Juggernauts in Houston, Jacksonville and Tennessee each year. If you division has one of the best teams in football, guess what, you are going to have a losing season more often than not.

Certainly not trying to discredit him but I wonder what the overall record of the Jets, Bills, and Dolphins is since 2001
I'm sure part of that poor record is alot of losses from the Pats.

Does it matter when they've won the AFC 44% of the time and the Super Bowl 25% of the time since 2001?

Um, bullshite...

They have the best in division record in the NFL since 2001, somewhere very close to 76-22.

In other words, 5-1 more seasons than not.

The Patriots are great, no doubt, but there is no way that you can argue that they don't benefit from being in a HORRIBLE division. They play three of the absolute worst teams in football six times a year, every year.

It makes things much easier when you basically just have to go 6-4 outside your division


they do have to play the #1's and 2"s from all the divisions every year.

Agreed. Very impressive run. Just would have been much more impressive in just about any other division.

7-3 for simplicity, obviously very good,

7-3 in a 10 game stretch equates to 11.2 wins a year with the same rate of winning in a 16 game schedule. I think the division argument is kind of weak. The Pats average 12.2 wins a year as is over the past 16 years, so playing in their division has basically accounted for one more win every year than their wins per year would be out of division. Seems it hasn't benefited them as much as you're making it out to be.

Great point if the difference between 11 wins and 12 wins wasn't a first round bye.

Don't forget the fact that bill won 2 more Super Bowls with the giants under parcells. And went to a super bowl with the pats under parcells.

Bill is great but he was also blessed with a great QB. He is 78-73 in games without BRADY starting.

22 seasons in NFL as HC
7 without Brady , 1 playoff appearances
15 with Brady , 14 playoff appearances

Still goes down as the best coach ever, but all coaches need a QB to be great

They play in the shittiest division in the shittier conference. What do you expect?

ETA: Spygate, Deflategate, Headsetgate (twice).

Everything is always bigger when it's the Pats.

quote:

Headsetgate (twice)
NFL controls and sets up all the communication, but don't let facts get in your way. It happens in plenty of other stadiums but no one cares as they aren't winning as much as the Pats.

Deflategate

This isn't a Patriots only deal... You can find stories every single year about other teams doing the same practice as well as teams being turned into the league for it. But nothing happens. LINK, LINK, LINK
quote:

Former NFL quarterback Jeff Blake says he oversaw the deflation of footballs on the sideline right before games during his career. Speaking on "The Midday 180" out of Nashville, Blake said the practice was common. Jeff Blake played for seven NFL teams, including the Bears during his final season (2005). Bruce Kluckhohn/USA TODAY Sports "I'm just going to let the cat of the bag, every team does it, every game, it has been since I played," Blake said. "'Cause when you take the balls out of the bag, they are rock hard. And you can't feel the ball as well. It's too hard. Everybody puts the pin in and lets just enough air out of the ball that you can feel it a little better. But it's not the point to where it's flat. "So I don't know what the big deal is. It's not something that's not been done for 20 years."

You don't think that maybe the reason that division is so bad is because they are competing with the most dominant team in the sport every year? It cuts both ways. Their record outside of divisional games is still insane


yea, i mean even a team like buffalo who hasnt made the playoffs since the 90s i believe would have some appearances mixed in if they hadnt lost like 98% of their pats matchups the last decade and a half
