Say what you want about Bill Bellicheck,call him bellicheat... etc but don't call him a stubborn coach. This is in reference to the Pats handing Buffalo a victory two weeks ago after holding a big lead. They continued to thow the ball downfield up 21 points in the second half. Brady threw a couple picks that opened up the floodgates for the Buffalo comeback. The following week, the Pats took a nice lead on Oak and then closed it out with a heavy dose of the run game securing the victory. They did the same thing today against the NY Jets. The Jets climb to within a touchdown and the Pats respond with a 7 minute, clock killing, run heavy drive that made it a two possession game with a minute left. That is how you close out a football game. To all you pass happy homers, did it look like the Pats are a "running team" today? I saw a pass first team who used the running game to minimize turnover risk, kill the clock and demoralize a tired defense in the end, good situational football. Not one dimesional stuff. The Pats are doing all the right things right now, Bellicheck learned his lesson from the Buffalo game, we can only hope JG learned his lesson after blowing the biggest lead in franchise history last week. This is gonna be a great football game!
 
Have to admit, I was impressed by Belichek going with the run, and how successful they were at doing it. I am a Garrett apologist, no question. But I also agree with you about how stubborn he can be at times.
 
Bill is a great coach, he knew that the jets can't stop the run to the outside, so what does he do, run it 35 times, mainly to the outside. Nothing earth shattering, but got the job done.
 
Yet they skewered Belichick for going for it on 4th down against the Colts a few years back, when it failed.
 
I think you can easily say ______________ (fill in the blank with any head coach) could learn from Bill Belichick.


What I cannot help but wonder is if people are honest enough to admit he could learn from each of those coaches as well?

Agreed on the first part but this is in reference to using the run to secure two big victories following the Brady debacle against Buffalo, where he threw 4 picks and Buffalo came back to win.

I'm offended you never merged on of my threads, can you somehow merge one of mine too to save my ego? I'll start a defending Romo thread and you can merge it with a Romo hating thread, they all end up the same anyway.

Or, I guess I can accept you have better things to do :(
 
While watching that game I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully Garrett saw the same thing.

Yes he could, even the bad ones. Some of the greatest lessons are learned in failure.
 
And if the Jets had stepped up and stopped the run...then what?

A running game is nice when it works, but ONLY when it works. Same with everything else. If the Cowboys can run out the clock, great. I am not too convinced they can though. I'd have more confidence in them eating more time by passing in most situations.
 
They were never up by 21 AND on offense, IIRC. They scored to go up 21 and then Buffalo answered right back.
