Ok, I used to really look up to Bill Belicheck. He was a superb football mind that did what he did, and didn't feel the need to put attention on himself or any of his "star players". There were no such things as stars on Belicheck led teams. The Patriots were a team chuck full of guys who played above and beyond all expectations, Tom Brady being a prime example. Guy couldn't even beat out Drew Henson for starting job at Michigan. There's a reason for that. He's average, end of story. Bill gets a hold of him, he's the second coming of Joe Montana, Dan Marino, Joe Namath, Bart Starr, all rolled into one.
That is the power of Bill Belicheck. He makes you see things that aren't there. That's why his defenses were so tough to play against. It was almost like they knew what you were gonna do before you did. Then, Spygate.
Now we know why the Pats were so good. Now we know how they could make everyone that they went against look like complete idiots. Now we know how they could derail even the most complex of offenses, how the could decode every defense They were cheating douchebags.
Take any one on that offense and put them on any other team in the NFL and they wouldn't make that much of an impact. Linemen aside, there's only one person on that entire team that I would take if I were doing a draft to fill a new roster. That one? Wes Welker. That's a whole different blog all together.
Hearing Bill come out over the last few months and just be his normal self just continues to demonstrate to me that he has got so much smoke blown up his ass by Robert Kraft and the NFL themselves, that he honestly believes that what he was doing was his right. It wasn't cheating, it was strategy. He never watched the tapes, but his assistance did. He never told Matt Walsh to spy on the other teams, it was in the job description.
Bill Belicheck, the Patriots organization, the Pats fans, and all the NFL brass protecting this "cornerstone" franchise just need to shut up, admit to what they did, and go to Hell. I'm sick a tired of hearing about these douches.
