Bill Belichick Broke the Bills: Unchecked

Bill Belichick showed the Bills the AFC East still goes through Foxboro and they only had a one year lease.

Bill Belichick’s success this season with the Patriots doesn’t prove anything about Tom Brady, the latter already won a Super Bowl away from New England after all. 

The Patriots winning with 3 pass attempts is Bill Belichick telling Tom Brady “we could always win without you,” my column:

But it does confirm once again that he runs the coaching game because he was able to win one where his rookie QB only threw three passes in the midst of showing the Bills the AFC East still goes through Foxboro and they only had a one year lease.

I guess one could say nobody circles the wagons like Buffalo Bill Belichick as it must be demoralizing for Bills Mafia to see The Hoodie right back in control of the division and their franchise following a short sabbatical to retool his roster.

Sean McDermott: "Let's not give more credit than we need to give Bill Belichick in this one."

Bills coach Sean McDermott said afterward not to give Belichick too much credit. But I must ask, if not him, who should get it? He is both the Patriots coach and general manager and one can’t bestow greatness upon Mac Jones for handoffs. 

Question (via @TheGregHillShow): Due to weather, will you be able to take anything from the game into the Dec. 26 game with Bills?

Bill Belichick (laughs): “We were talking about that last night. We can use our whole passing game. All the pass plays we have, they haven’t seen.”

The Pats have now won seven games in a row, by an average margin of nearly 22 points per contest...which is why it is fair to wonder whether Belichick could have a chance to hoist hardware again the way Brady did in Tampa with the Bucs last February. 

Mac Jones threw for only 19 yards today and the Patriots still won the game?! Give Belichick the Coach Of The Year right now! Carry on...

But the signature moment of his comeback season thus far is a four-point win in the wind. Because Belichick reminded everyone once again that he is the most valuable non-player there’s ever been and that the Buffalo Bills belong to him.
