That’s pretty accurate, but I even look at the draft before when we had 2 1st rounders and pick Wynn a guard at 23 vs DJ Moore who was taken at 24, and of course Sony Michel at 31 instead of the 32nd pick which was Lamar Jackson! THAT draft was the END of the Belichick era to me!

Just so we remember full history, Harry got hurt in the preseason game against Detroit with a grade 2 ankle sprain and was on IR for the next 9 games. Not saying he would have been AJB or Deebo (or any of the other awesome WRs in that class), but if he’d even been a decent WR2 we don’t have Brady furious at Phillip Dorsett-types and we’re not sending a 2nd round pick for Sanu-who also got injured). It’s easy to rip on Bill the GM as his recent track record was bad, but it’s also an easy take to point to this alone.

What did it for me was when Belichick benched Butler #1 corner for no good reason, in the Superbowl, and Brady threw for over 500 yards and they still lost to a second rate qb.He threw the game, plain and simple. No coming back from that. Stabbed his whole team in the back. Young guys that worked their entire life for that moment in time and most will never have that opportunity again. Good riddance.

Bill would have been gone years ago if not for a lucky draft picking up Tom. Without Tom, Bill was 5-13 and then Tom took over and the rest is history. I will never forgive Bill and Kraft for how they treated the greatest QB every, Tom was a class act and played on the cheap for years. Bill actually thought he could win without a top QB. Tom was the reason all of Bills on the cheap moves worked. It's over and I am looking forward to getting a respectable team back on the field on Sunday. Defense is important but you can't win if you can't score.

@StephenPaul1160 4 ай бұрын

Bill thought he could win without Brady because if you look back and whenever Brady wasn't on the field they won more often than not. The year Brady got hurt - Cassel stepped in and although it wasn't an amazing year, Cassel played well and some even thought they should move on from Brady at that point. Then when Jimmy G and Brissett filled in during Brady's suspension they won 3 of 4. From Bill's perspective and I think just about anyone else, it wasn't going to get as bad as it got. Newton's year had some promise, but turnovers took them out of so many games. Mac's rookie year had a lot of promise. Ultimately I believe that Mac's injury made him play more scared and Patricia/Judge ruined any confidence he had.

I'm a Green Bay Packer fan, and I don't follow football much. I'm a loyal man. I'm a loyal human being. Father, person, son, character of our society. Vincent Lombardi was a tough ****. My father and grandfathers grew up with him and knew him when they were easy to be accessible to the regular public society as football players. Period, now considered as heroes. football players are not heroes. Vince and Barty was not a hero. He was a man who employed other men and women to work hard and get paid for only if they did their job. Bill Belichick, maybe a nasty **** on the playing field, and I don't get into his private life because it's not my business. As long as he didn't hurt anybody legally, physically. emotionally, outside. of his players, which get paid to be bruised and beat up because they get paid a wealth more than I can ever figure out, Bill Belichick needs to retire with a response of. good, positive. release. Not a **** Quote, you're fired. Unquote. That's a trump deal. And you know what most of us in America think about Mr T in his quote, you're fired. Unquote, attitude, **** him. Bill Belichick, you belong in football. You belong in broadcasting. You belong in whatever it is that you feel you have the right to do, because you're a beautiful human being. You're aggressive, you're tough, you're to the point. but you're polite and professional. I respect that. that's what I teach my children. Be nice. Be professional, and the rest will come. And always help someone else. From northern Wisconsin and at Green Bay. And yes, even a Chicago Bears fan, we bow our heads to you, Mr Phil Belichick, and to the Patriots for being such a respectful. coach, human being and entertaining person. You did really well. You are most definitely at the top. You are Lombardi man. You are not a Lombardi Trophy. You are a. football. Beautiful human being. Way back from the 1910s.. Thank you. And God bless you, Sir. May you go far. Respect from northern Wisconsin and respect. Much respect from thousands of fans from the Green Bay Packers and the and the Chicago Bears. Even though they still suck. God bless you, sir.

@@TrainFloodthe product has been bad and boring for the last few seasons. It wasnt the fact that they were losing it’s the fact that they were flat out boring television. If they were losing high scoring shootouts that would be one thing, or if they drafted stars or signed big name free agents to give the fans something to watch for, like other bad teams atleast have stars on offense that gives the fans jerseys to go buy. The patriots have been dull and boring struggling to score 10 points a game. I watched 3 games this season lol. It was just boring football. Kraft knows that the ratings are plummeting, in Belichicks last game which was the season finale not even half the tickets were sold..before it didn’t matter how bad the weather was, everybody showed up. Also Belichick sabotaged this team, and sabotaged them against the eagles costing Brady what would of ended up being his 8th Super Bowl in his best SB performance ever “505 passing yards, 3 passing tds”.. But nope Belichick just had to bench Butler in the biggest game of the season. I’ll never forgive him for that, for what he cost the great Tom Brady. If Belichick would of signed big name WRs in Brady’s prime Brady would of probably had 6-7 MVPs and atleast 10 SBs. Think about it, Brady got to play with a star WR while in their primes just a few seasons in his career, 2007 with Moss when he had 50 passing touchdowns and went 16-0, than in Tampa with Mike Evans when he was in his mid 40s having back to back 40+ touchdown seasons, year one in Tampa 40 passing tds and 4650 yards, year 2 in Tampa at 44 years old 43 passing tds and 5316 yards being voted the best nfl player on the NFLs top 100 players list. Just imagine if he had that talent on the outside to throw to while in his prime in his mid 30s? We would of seen 60 td, 6000 yard seasons..

They want Mayo, who has next to no credentials as a coach or Vrabel, who went 6-11 with a team that had big-name talent as belichicks replacement. Really 2 more games is the standard for winning success despite having derrick henry and dhop and nowhere near the amount of injuries that our team had this year. Even if the pats have success next year, people will say, "See, it was Belichick who was the problem." No, we have a shit ton of cap space and high draft picks. We should be better next year.

Belichick did well in Cleveland until 1995 when Modell announced that the team was leaving. Belichick also held the 2018 Rams to 3 points after they averaged 30 per game on the season. Brady is the GOAT but Belichick’s defenses from the 1990 Giants beating the Bills, to the 1996 Pats going to the Super Bowl (Bill’s first year back) to holding the 2001 Greatest Show on Turf to points that allowed Brady to show the world why Belichick benched the highest paid QB after injury to make Brady starter plus so many masterpiece games that put the Pats in position to win on the last drive were excellent coaching. No coach gets that many wins being average.

@@rgonz81 He took over a 3-13 team (Bud Carson fired) in 1991 & improved it until they were 11-5 in 1994 & beat the Patriots in the Wildcard. The next season was the announcement of moving. Watch Cleveland 1995 Football Life episode. No coach was winning that year. I remember the games well from those years. I remember Belichick beating Chuck Noll’s Steelers in 1991 too with excellent coaching. It was Noll’s last season. There’s been Hall of Fame QBs who didn’t win championships because they didn’t have a coach who played complimentary football or just the way the ball bounced that season. Belichick’s teams were flexible & dominant & won lots of low scoring, tight games. That’s not taking away from Tom Brady. Obviously Belichick doesn’t get a lot of those wins without Brady being clutch. But Belichick made the game plans that gave his teams the best chance to win even if they couldn’t win. That’s what a coach does. He’s lived NFL football since the 1970s. Even his decision to keep a 4th QB on the roster in 2000 kept Brady when most teams would’ve cut him. By the next season Brady had worked his way up to number 2 & ran that offense exactly as it was designed by Earhart-Perkins. Belichick knew that he had the QB who saw the game the right way & would always be dependable. Brady deserves lots of credit but Belichick deserves credit for putting a system & culture in place. Just watch the last plays of the Super Bowl where they beat the Seahawks & how Belichick set up the play where Butler made the interception & then told Brady to draw the Seahawks defense offsides to get some breathing room to avoid a safety. Belichick doesn’t have his face buried in a play sheet. He watches the game, coaches the coaches & gives his team the best chance to win. Even the best coaches have downturns without talent. But I’ve watched the games & attended games where the Pats were the away team. I’m a Steelers fan & Belichick & Brady schooled us every time it counted. My Steelers owe Chiefs Bernard Poland an annual Christmas card since he blew out Brady’s knee in Week 1 2008 which allowed us to get to the Super Bowl. Of course Belichick went 11-5 that 2008 season WITHOUT Brady using Matt Cassel who hadn’t started a game since high school (never a starter in college, backup only). So to call Belichick an “average” coach when the best in the NFL consider him one of the greatest isn’t logical. I respect every player & coach who accomplished at the elite level & Belichick played chess on grass. Bill Parcells never got to a Super Bowl without Belichick coaching defense & Parcells is Hall of Fame. It’s not always about the record after losing talent & coaches. It’s about whether the he coached the best way to give his team a chance to win. Start with the 1990 Giants upset of the Bills & then the 2001 Patriots upset of the Rams. The NFL literally took Belichick’s written game plan from the Giants beating the Bills just after the game for a Hall of Fame exhibit. Why? One week earlier the Bills beat the Raiders in the AFC title game 51-3. So seriously, you can say Belichick has struggled with his offense but calling him an average coach puts you at odds with ppl who know this game far better than you & I as fans. It’s like telling someone it’s daylight outside when it’s night. Truth is truth.

@douglaswatt1582 4 ай бұрын

The Bill Belichick story illustrates how greatness oftentimes emerges from fragile partnerships that don't and can't last. While Belichick arguably is technically one of the most sophisticated football minds we've ever seen, his handling of personnel decisions and his handling of people is well below his technical knowledge level. Coaching is about so much more than simply breaking down the game and analyzing matchups and game plans and so forth. Belichick's deficits were covered by his extraordinary work ethic and Brady's as well, and how they were able to extract the very best from their personnel at least for a pretty decent interval. But as their talent base eroded and after Brady left, tired of Belichick's control freak routine, and presumably after Bill lost the locker room in many ways, this was predictable. I don't feel sorry for Bill Belichick. I do feel sorry that it took so long for people to see his limitations, which were all along masked and covered by his brilliant technical grasp of the game

@@frankjones4357 Not really. All Tom ever did was win, no matter where he played. He did very good at Michigan. When he took over NE they were 5-11 the year before and 0-2 the year he came in. They win their first SB. He leaves and wins a SB and makes the playoffs the following to years even though he is way past his prime. Bills undoing was Bill the GM, terrible the last ten years. If he was just the coach I would’ve had no issue with him remaining the coach. Hell he let good talent walk for next to nothing. Blunt scored 18 TD and he lets him walk for next to nothing. The following year Blunt plays very well in the SB against NE. Letting Myers walk for next to nothing, Mac security blanket and who does he bring in? A washed up receiver with a bad knee. Drafting a kicker and letting Folk walk for next to nothing. Of the last 24 players drafted in the first or second round not one signed a second contract. They all sucked. Bill the coach is good, Bill the GM not so much.

Bill doing 2 massively hard jobs at once was to much as soon as Caserio left the whole thing came crashing down. All bill needed was a full blown gm. And bills player decisions were beyond questionable. Why on earth you get rid of folk for this crap kicker we got or shuster over meyers just to name a few. Picking cole strange in first round, letting thuney go, hell even van noy about to go to a bowl , just not a great personel lately, Kraft has a tremendous amount of blame for this. No gm, no decent oc, no dc, and the rookiest head coach of all. We screwed. Not a great business man. But I love bill but business man looks to the future. Caserio should hav3 been forced on bill, Brady should have had a better team around him till the end.

Belichick was looking at the Bucs having to put together an all star team just to get him that last SB, and he wasnt able to do it again

We can definitely blame Belichick for the downfall, but the Krafts have 49% of the blame for this disaster. Google cash spending in the NFL. The Pats overall spending is 29th out of 32 teams but spending on the offense is the lowest $39M vs Tennessee at $45M both teams finished with losing records. This is an offense driven league now and you need to spend on that side of the ball! It’s great they got rid of the malcontent, but you a need a strong GM and scouting department to get back to prominence. The Krafts should sell the team, if they are unwilling to spend or else this starts to look like the Red Sox!

Bill is still a good Xs and Os coach but there is so much more to coaching today's football players and he is no longer someone who can handle that. I'm not going to miss his press conferences. The guys a total arse and we tolerated it when they won. No longer was that the case. Bye bye!

Well.... when Curran announced in early December that the Krafts made their decision on Belichick's fate right after the Colts game in Germany.... we all thought.... wow what a great job of reporting by Tom E. He's really connected. What a hard working reporter. Wrong. We were duped. Curran's source of this info? Jerod Mayo. Think about it. They're tight. They worked on Quick Slants together. That makes Mayo a rat. And.... that makes Curran a weasel and a lazy journalist. He's taking credit for his big reveal and it was so easy to attain. Mayo is not only a rat, but also not the best candidate for the HC job. That would be Vrabel. What a mistake this will turn out to be. Not only is Vrabel a better coach, but Mayo worked a whole year for Bill KNOWING he was the replacement. That is not a loyal thing to do. That's what rats do....

Tom Curran with his obssession about Brady being let go as being the main reason for Pats decline. It was not the root of the problem. Brady was a shadow of himself in his last season with the Pats because Bill drafted so poorly and Brady had nothing to work with. With the Bucs he was very well surounded in his first year. The Belichick problem has never been Bill the coach, it was Bill the GM, with awful drafts, poor free agent signings and a disregard for the offensive side of the ball. With better drafts from 2011 on the offensive side of the ball, Brady would have played his whole careeer with the Pats. The last star offensive player drafted by the team was Gronk in 2010. In fact Gronk is the only star pass catcher drafted in the whole Belichick era. Edelman was drafted as a QB and took a long time developing, Welker and Moss were acquired via trade. So Brady covered this enormous weakness for two decades, but near the end it was so poor that it became impossible for him. Trades for Antonio Brown, Mohamed Sanu or Philip Dorset were all bad and they drafted N'Keal Harry and Joejuan Williams over AJ Brown, DK Metcalf, Deeboo Samuel and Terry McLaurin in the next 45 picks. That's the root cause of the messy endings of Brady and Belichick.
