Worst. Super Bowl. Ever

[DeminPennswoods]

98. Only watched maybe half the game total,

but good, hard-hitting defense is fun to watch especially since the NFL is trying hard to destroy it.

I believe Belichek cheated the Steelers out of at least one SB appearance by taping their signals, but I have to give NE credit for building and maintaining a team around Brady's unique skills. NE is the poster-child for having a system. Their offense is not particularly complex, but they execute it to perfection. Belichek brings players in who fit that system to a T. NE has taken maximum advantage of having Brady, can't take that away from them.

Brady's near the end, though, and opponents have figured out that pressure up the middle gets in his head because he does not like to be hit. They lost 5 games this season. When Brady's gone, NE will revert to being an average NFL team. The NFL draft and scheduling is set up to deny long dynasties and NE has drafted at the end of each round for a lot of years unlike their division opponents. Eventually both will catch up with them. Belichek was not a great coach when he was surrounded by little talent in Cleveland and his assistant coaches have generally flopped as head coaches. We shall see how he does without Brady.
