Stephon Gilmore is the latest former New England Patriots star to take issue with Apple's crabby portrayal of Bill Belichick.

"The Dynasty," the ten-part docuseries centered on the Patriots' new century glory days, received positive reviews from critics. But several forgers of the championship path believe that Belichick's contributions were unfairly downplayed in the saga whose production was partly overseen by team owner Robert Kraft.

Gilmore took to X to air his grievance, offering undeniable proof of Belichick's impact through a thread centered on the team's last Super Bowl victory, a 13-3 defensive struggle over the Los Angeles Rams in the game's 53rd edition. The cornerback, who spent last season with the Dallas Cowboys, directly credited the game's offensively-challenged nature to Belichick's adjustments.

"Bill was the greatest coach I’ve ever been around. Don’t let that fool you," Gilmore said. "I’ll never forget we were a predominantly man team during the 2018 season all the way up to the Super Bowl. When we played the Rams we switched to Zone."

"No coach would switch what they did all season in a big game like that."

Los Angeles was limited to 260 yards and the worst Super Bowl scoring output in 47 years. After New England scored the game's lone touchdown (a two-yard run for Sony Michel), the Rams' response was stifled by Gilmore, whose interception of Jared Goff more or less sealed the deal. New England turned that turnover into a Stephen Gostkowski field goal in the penulimate minute, which proved to provide the necessary difference.

Gilmore also reference an undated game against the Buffalo Bills where further Belichick improvisation paved another path to victory and earned the support of Jason McCourty, who let the football world know his fellow former New Englander was speaking "all facts!"

"(Belichick told) me to play trail technique in Buffalo because the Quarterback can’t throw against the wind when I was following a big time receiver," Gilmore said. "If you ever played corner that’s not a good feeling playing trail technique. I shut the WR down to 0 catches [sic]."
