To me, Belichek is good, not “great.” And he’s no “genius.” Far too many close games that could have gone either way. Personally, I reserve the “genius” level for someone who dominates, obliterates, wipes out his opponents.
who would that be then?
i’m sorry. i hate belichick as much as anybody. but 9 superbowl appearances and 6 victories?
and this last one with brady playing like crap?
he’s proven his greatness. i mean he’s a bastard, but he’s gotten his teams to play at a high level for years.
probably the greatest dynasty in the modern era of sports i’d say.
i’d be happy if mcvay could achieve even half of his success.
i still think mcvay got outcoached. the more i read the more i’m convinced. he’s like a boxer with a great right hand but once you figure it out you can negate the right. and he’s got nothing to counter with. he’s gotta figure it out. i think he will.
belichick is the opposite. his teams are able to adapt. but the guy’s been coaching forever. his resume is older than mcvay.
mcvay has to come up with a counter to the 11 personnel. teams will be studying tape of the superbowl, the chi game. the det game. the phi game. he’s gotta come up with an answer or the rams will regress. i think he will.
One other thing…and I haven’t seen anybody reference this yet, and I thought it was a big momoment – I would have taken one of those penalties with 2:25 left in the game to push NE out of FG range. I don’t get it.
if i’m remembering the same one, romo explained it. if the rams had taken either of the penalities, the clock would continue to roll. by not taking the penalty. they in effect gave themselves another timeout. otherwise, pats take it down to 2 minutes. milk even more time off the clock.
romo i believe asked the guest ref for confirmation of this and he confirmed that romo was right in his logic.
it was more a matter of preserving time. a better chance of scoring and then getting a quick onside and scoring again.
either way the chances were miniscule.
Well they need to keep Mannion, I guess.
His head is the same size as Goff’s.

van honest question. they can’t just bring a second helmet that’s fitted to goff’s head????
i do like goff’s demeanor though. seems to inspire his teammates too. although playing well also inspires them i’m sure. but the fact he doesn’t change from play to play. that’s definitely part of it.
still can’t believe they came back from double digits points on the road against a hof qb. just crazy.
PS: I think Bradford had the potential to be truly great. IMO, he just lacked a passion for the game, and often seemed listless to me, sometimes appearing almost defeated before the play even started.
i would disagree with that. no one keeps coming back from injury after injury like he has without being passionate.
my problem with bradford was he was very mechanical. just not very fluid. he had an arm but not much touch. his pocket presence was lacking. maybe even a little bit stiff.
goff on the other hand is very fluid. whether it’s throwing long or short or with touch. moving around in the pocket or rolling out. he’s just so natural at it. it’s beautiful to see.
