Quote:So when O'Brien and Bilichick are able to finish a  season 11-5 after just a few handful of plays to start a new football season after Brady is rehabbing his banged up knee.. who's "teat of success" are they sucking off of then?    The guy didn't get a HCing gig for what he did with Brady, but for more with what he did without him and when he was faced with adversity.

 

Haha... that's a joke, right? He was a failure before he picked up the HC job in New England. He had ONE winning season. He had FIVE losing seasons (out of six) before Tom Brady came on scene. When "faced with adversity"?  :no:

 

As for the 11-5 season, that isn't enough to support your argument. They played 3 AFC play teams (with the Dolphins twice). They were 1-3. The beat NFC teams 1-0. They played 4 playoff teams and had a losing record. They had opponents with a total win tally of 99-157... the next closest was 10 wins more. No team played few winning opponents or fewer play off teams. 

 

Yeah. Great example.
