I post an article that basically agrees with you as well as giving my post some cred, and you wanna argue?...Youre not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
I suggest you start drinking bottled water from the states and leave that Canadian river water alone

The Packers, with Favre, were anything but the "gold standard".
18 years and he won a grand total of ONE.....yes, ONE.....Super Bowl. And that was as much due to Reggie White as Favre.
Belichik and Brady are so much better than Holmgren and Favre it's not worth discussing.

I agree, the Packers with Favre weren't competitive year in, year out. My post wasn't to compare Belichik/Holmgren, but mainly to point out that them falling off completely without Brady isn't a foregone conclusion.

I'll be honest, I don't read much that you post. So if that's the case, I apologize.

New England probably has one of the best overall coaching staffs in the NFL. They do not spend big money on FA and plug new guys into their System. Even if those young guys don't become stars, they tend to perform well.

I will ask this again...it seems to be ignored constantly. Can someone list their injuries on the defensive side of the ball. Also list how many off the street players had significant playing time.
As of November they were missing Kelly, Wilfork and Mayo....thats it. They traded for a DT Sopoaga.

One of the greatest coaches ever, plus one of the greatest QBs ever, plus a weak ass division in a weak ass conference.
I'm sure those things don't matter

I live in New England and watch Belichick and the guy may be the greatest coach I've ever witnessed in my lifetime. If the Bears had Brady next year how do you think they would do? He has created a system that is near perfect, the only variable being human beings. He is a master talent scout, finds throwaways like Welker, Woodhead, Ninkovich, Blount and puts them in position to succeed. Remember 2006 when the Bears were 7-0 until they played Miami, Miami's starting WR was out that day and they had to play Welker, he kept repeatedly catching short passes that could not be defended, Belichick was seemingly the only coach in the league who saw that and decided he could be a starter. The Patriots Defense, with many starters gone succeeds because the scheme is greater than the individual player. Bears fans would do well to realize this. This year's disgusting version of defense for the Bears should watch the Patriots and forever be ashamed. Belichick can build a dominating defense with old guys like Vrabel and Bruschi who know what they are doing and do their job. They are not superstar athletes, they are solid smart veterans who do their jobs correctly. When Brady got hurt Belichick won 11 games with Matt Cassell, do you see that happening in MINN?
I love Bill because he is a scientist of the game, he loves the game more than any coach I've seen. As a Bears fan I try to watch Belichick on his Friday night local Patriots all access show because he goes over game tape and gives analysis, its' just amazing seeing him breakdown tape. He can run the machine so fast, it's obvious he has watched thousands and thousands of hours of tape. More than likely very little if anything he hasn't seen unless it's new. He is a verifiable football expert, an intellectual in a field full of blue collar meathead coaches like Lovie Smith, Mike Tice and Rod Marinelli. Certainly these guys are smart and experienced, but Belichick is Smarter, had a greater intellect and ability to solve problems and strategize in real time. Do you realize some of the games the Pats won this year they were losing and were able to score a TD in less than one minute in the final minute? Does anybody remember the Packers game where they got the cheap TD..the kind you NEVER see the Pats give up....they still had 38 seconds to score. Brady and Belichick have the final drive down to a science. Did anybody notice how Cutler didn't even try to work the sidelines and just started launching bombs..he doesn't even know how to drive with less than a minute. The Pats have turned this into a science that everybody should be studying...but they're too busy being meatheads.

You don't become the Patriots in one year. Pretty sure Emery and Trestman view them as the gold standard.
