    I don't "believe" anything. You stated something that was factually untrue - - "Since Butler has never commented about it he looks guilty of something." - - and I showed you, down to the EXACT second, the clip on the documentary where he most definitely IS commenting on it. That is objective...

    Reactions to “The Dynasty”

    Wait - - - Butler "looks guilty" to you because of WHAT? Did you mistakenly type "Butler" instead of Belichick"? Butler most certainly DID comment in that doc - 29:25-29:54. He says he has absolutely no idea what could have caused it. He seems flummoxed by the whole thing. He did not snort...

    Another instance of pissing on one's head and telling them it is raining...... (btw, that video cuts off at the most interesting part!!!)

    ......and then there are folks who are completely comfortable with being told not to ask questions and for accountability. "Keep pissing on my head and telling me that it's raining, Mr. Madoff". Even the extreme #1 Loyal Soldier Matthew Slater is at least questioning 'why?'. There are...

    ......also somehow it became public that 2/5's of the Patriots had the flu and the Colts raised the temperature in their dome. Mr Auerbach would've been proud. ........but yeah, 8 years later psi in footballs became a national scandal........ .

    "What seems "obvious" doesn't necessarily tell the full story, which we never will know until Bill Belichick goes on the record with his side of it." He won't, Tune. He's "A Beautiful Mind". Eyes open: we have to accept the bad part with the greatness part. BOTH parts exist. SB 52 (and...

    Reactions to “The Dynasty”

    So blessed that my team had Belichick as the HC for the past quarter century. Wouldn't trade it all for the for a mere 4 SB's (which is what I tell smirky Giants fans who try to troll). But even Elvis got fat and sloppy in the 1970's. It happens. It's the human condition. Anyone getting...

    Reactions to “The Dynasty”

    Mea culpa - - I stand corrected about Alan Branch. Evidently he had knee issues and the Pats didn't pick up his contract option for 2018. By then he was a 33 yr old DT who had limited value on the FA market. .

    Reactions to “The Dynasty”

    Once again, he deactivated Alan Branch for the game. Why???? If he was dead set against playing Butler - - even if someone like Slater was begging for him to come in the second half to "stop the bleeding", then why not fill that empty slot with Branch???? He kept TWO defensive starters off...

    95% of the 20 year dynasty. Timeline - - post 2016 he was on the way down and his GM actions were killing his coaching. He won it all in 2018, but they also lost Brady for 2020 and on. Over the 20 years I'd say he was great 95% of the time as a coach. His overall performance had peaked and...

    Reactions to “The Dynasty”

    What is silly is a grown adult who believes someone is right 100% of the time. All humans are fallible. This isn't a magic fable. Abe Lincoln screwed up, FDR had girlfriends on the side. Even Mother Teresa had a few bad days. I think Belichick was great 95% of the time. He was the greatest...

    Reactions to “The Dynasty”

    Nope. 1) He used the interviewer's name and 2) said "WE" talked about that. Not "I'" talked about that. Which is exactly why Hamachek called him out immediately and said 'No, I didn't ask you about it'. To which Belichick simply clams up because he knows he's been caught in a lie. He took...

    Anyone going to camp who can check out our players' butts?

    Fair enough. I disagree, but fair enough.

    Reactions to “The Dynasty”

    Great point! I was going to go into that next. I always liked Rowe. Good guy, good utility part. As a third CB, he was actually an advantage. But his moving to CB2 meant someone else had to now be CB3. I'm trying to figure out who that could have been. (Post edit: Jordan Richards and...

    Reactions to “The Dynasty”

    Rowe was first informed he would be starting AFTER the national anthem and AFTER the pregame warmups that had him on the second unit and Butler on the first unit during the run-throughs. "it's certainly plausible that Rowe was elevated over him for play......." Ok, valid question - - what...

    I don't think he intentionally blew the game. He may have had a psychological breakdown issue.

    Reactions to “The Dynasty”

    "At the time it occurred, whatever reasoning was behind Butler's benching might have seemed justified." Perhaps to 3% of anyone watching. ".......Now with everyone enjoying the benefit of 20-20 hindsight, it looks like a bad move regardless" "Now"?? "With the benefit of 20-20 hindsight"...

    Reactions to “The Dynasty”

    Read the words I wrote. I didn't say WHAT Butler said was "fact". I wrote that he made a statement answering the question about it on the documentary. The question was asked and he answered. That is a fact. He COULD be lying through his teeth. In the meantime, Belichick 100% LIED on camera...

    I agree - - I guffawed at that. (The only funnier Pats documentary moment was the ESPN "The Two Bills" - when thetalking heads describe the the Belichick Jets declining job press conference in January 2000. 3 or 4 talking heads follow each other in succession describing how catastrophic...
