Just think we saw three bangers who just kept banging away. While on the bench the injured James White and this cat...




Had an incredible high school career here in Cali.

Back in the 50's the Rams had the 225 pound Tank Younger 220 pound Dick Hoerner and the 225 pound Deacon Dan Towler and they trambled defenses taking turns. And AND...they had two Hall of Fame WR to be Tom Fears and Crazy Legs Hirsch.

They ran the ball 46 times for over 200 yards. Mac Jones was 2 for 3 for 19 yards, and they still won.

Imagine that. Run the ball for over 90% of your plays against one of top 2 run defenses in the league, who knew you were going to run, and still beat them.

Belichick played the game like a champ. He played the Bills like a puppet while protecting his rookie QB. Almost lost it at the end but got away with it anyway. I have so much respect for that coach.

True GOAT status. No team in the AFC wants to see them in the post season. He will be COY and I think stands a good chance of taking the Pat's to the SB.
 
Have to have a real HC
have to have a really really good defense
Have to have a QB who can read defenses
 
Belichick is showing all the non believers how dumb they are for doubting his Supreme ability as a coach.

What gets me is what are the odds of the greatest coach of all time pairing up with the greatest QB of all time? Both on their Mount Rushmores.

What he pulled off last night was pure genius.

I don't expect we will see a duo like them ever again.

To think Brady was not seriously considered an NFL level QB and Belichick was fired from his first HC gig is remarkable.
 
That game last night was brutal wind conditions and the Pat's still ran the ball. The Bills knew they were going to run it and still couldn't stop them. Dallas would never win a physical game like that.

Attempting only 3 passes tells me the coaches instructed the QB not to bother reading the defense and just run the play as called. There will be other games where his ability to read defenses will be utilized.

Sadly, our coaching staff gives up too quickly on the run. The Patriots got stuffed at the line a lot. They never gave up.

mane NE is staring down getting homefield in the playoffs too…ready for them to go away

Read defenses? He threw a grand total of 3 passes, when exactly did he read defenses?

Just kidding.

But it's sort of comical, Brady leaves and all (well except maybe the Jets) were thinking "whew, we're rid of Brady at last, time for the Pats' winning the division year after year after year after year to end, give us other teams a chance"

NOT!!!

I also think that Zeke slows down too much waiting for a hole to open. You watch those young RBs for NE and they just hit it up in there and keep those legs churning. I like Pollard but I feel Dallas should have a big 230lb back with some quick feet for those short physical runs. Zeke can do it but he seems like he is losing his hunger.

Zeke lost his burst. He lost it a year or two ago. Tell me you can't tell who is running the ball based on how fast they hit the hole? We don't need to see the number. If the back is darting through the hole, we know it's Pollard.
