Super Bowl 44: 6:52 on the clock, the Patriots drive 64 yards in ten plays finished by a 3 yard touchdown catch by Edelman to take the lead.
Super Bowl 51: 3:31 on the clock, the Patriots drive 91 yards in ten plays finished by a 1 yard touchdown run and a 2 pt conversion to tie the game. They follow it with an eight play, 75 yard drive to win the game in overtime.

Brady made those drives happen, not Belichick. As for "tough defenses" the only two losses the Patriots had in Super Bowls happened when the defense folded like a deck of cards in the final minutes leaving Brady with hardly any time left on the Patriots final drive. Heck, they only won SB44 because the Seahawks decided to get fancy and call a pass play on the Patriots one yard line. Seattle went 79 yards in 1:42 prior to that play, some "tough" defense.

Malcolm Butler was coached up for that pick there to save the game. Belichick had the right defense in place against a bad call on offense. Plays not players though right?

New England's great offense only mustered 14 points against two lucky plays on offense by the Giants in both losses. Defense did it's job.

Again. Brady is great. Belichick is great. But you cannot argue that Belichick's approach to the game is why they succeed along with his relationship with Brady.

Two way street. But I want the coach that builds said team. Not the one player who would more than likely be another Matt Ryan or Philip Rivers anywhere else in the NFL.
