I hope Bolts. I need Tomlinson and Gates to perform. I also hope its a shootout, since in one league, I'm going against the SD defense. quote:
Look man, this all started when I said I think we know who misses who more, belichick or brady. You can't compare the Steelers with Tomlin and big Ben because Tomlin hasn't been called a genius for the past six years. It's not a valid comparison because there is none. The point is the pats still have the same supposed genius coach but now that they have lost brady, he no longer looks like a genius. It's quite obvious where and why he acquired his reputation. If he is such a great coach, he should have no problem overcoming this latest obstacle as he has supposedly always done in the past. The big difference now is he has always had brady to bail him out. Now, that is not the case. It's a typical case of someone getting way more credit than they ever deserved. Don't see why that is so hard to understand. Wow....you're really worse than trackstat, for real. You really mean to tell me you're passing judgement on a 3 time super bowl champion coach because he lost a game? As far as the comparison, while it is perfectly legit, I'll play along: I'll let YOU pick the team, the coach, the star quarterback, OK? Now... quote:
what season record would you give <INSERT TEAM OF CHOICE HERE> if <INSERT STAR QB OF CHOICE HERE> developed a bad case of the Mange and was out for the season, paving the way for <INSERT FAR LESS SKILLED BACKUP HERE> to take the reins and continue the season? Their offense would suck. For a long, long time, until they learned to gel with the new QB. That would keep them to 3 and outs, which would in turn place huge strain on a tired defense. Its a ripple effect that would be a crusher for almost any team, and no coach can get a situation like that to function like a well-oiled machine in 3 weeks time. Nobody. Happy? I really think you were just looking for mass approval by bashing a generally hated coach, and now that you've found opposition, you're grasping at straws to justify your stance not by offering any real reasons for your opinion (since you have none, because you cant make an accurate judgement based on one loss), and instead you've decided to repeat your opinions ad nauseum. Try to remember that, with less than one full half with Brady, the Pats are STILL 2-1. Try to keep in mind that the loss of the quarterback of ANY team will give them serious issues to resolve, regardless of the coach. Try to keep in mind that two weeks is not enough to make a judgement call on the coaching, even if those two weeks went 0-2. Try to keep in mind that throughout last season, while there were many blowouts in their schedule, there were also the games that the Pats won by the skin of their teeth. Particularly remember their game vs. Baltimore, that gave Miami their first (and only?) win last year, that the Pats only managed to win due to some questionable calls from the zebras. If you can see all of this and you still think that you can legitimately say Belichik isn't a talented coach, I'd like to see some REAL evidence. Numbers, stats, anything, just make it concrete. I don't want to hear "With Brady they have X yards per game and without him they have Y yards!" Give me something that clearly points to Belichik's coaching that has changed, for the worse, in the past two games. Bad play calls (which are really more their O-Cord anyway), poor clock management, bad substitutions, that sort of thing. And remember that even if you DO find something like that, you've got to tie it into Belichik making that bad decision BECAUSE Brady isn't playing. Hard to do? It should be, because its a moronic notion at best.
