    great HC, great QB, horrendously bad division

    That really sums it up. Great head coach and an all-time QB. And that covers up a lot of warts elsewhere.

    Most Patriots teams the past 10 years have not been more talented than their playoff opponents (including Jacksonville this weekend). They had great defenses in 2003 and 2004 but their defenses have been pretty average since. They went years without any standout WRs.

    But better coaching- and sometimes really it’s partly also facing pretty bad coaching- results in them making a fraction of the mistakes of their opponents, Brady capitalizing when the opposing teams soil themselves, and on to victory… tack on the AFC East being pretty dysfunctional otherwise for 15 years and they waltz into a playoff bye annually with relative ease.

    I firmly believe Belichick treats September most years as extended preseason and tries new and various things because he knows they have that luxury in that the rest of the division will fade away by Thanksgiving.

    Anyway, living in New England since fall 1998 that’s my observation….

    Makes sense. Brady knows the system like the back of his hand and still works hard to perfect his craft. Still hate him.

    Sea 164 rushing yards,
    NE 57 rushing yards

    *Ravens 136 yards rushing; 292 passing
    *NE 14 rushing yards, 400+ passing yards passing deflated balls in 20 degree weather…. Flacco critical pick with less than 2 min to play, damn, poor Joe F and John Harbaugh

    “great HC, great QB, horrendously bad division”

    Cant argue with that. Course beating up on bad division opponents only gets you so far. The Pats beat up on the playoff teams, too.

    At any rate, we alllll know Belichick is the best — but why is he so much better than the other coaches? I dont get the ‘why’ of it. No-one else has done it this LONG in the post-rules-change era.

    Belichick has some ‘special talent.’ I dont know what it is though, and no-one else seems to know either, cause Ive watched a gazillion youtubes with ex-players discussing it. And all they ever say is cliches.
