The Belichick Strut


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

One thing I noticed last night was how Belichick has control over the crowd.

 

Like it or not, the New England fans are very football savvy. During the timeout that was taken to decide whether or not to challenge the touchdown rules out of bounds, Bill really worked the crowd.

He had the flag in his hand for quite a while, walking around with it as the fans kept a close eye. It was obvious right away on the big screens it was at the very least worth the review, and almost definitely a touchdown. But Bill milked the timeout and waived the red flag like a football matador. The fans grew louder as he paced the sidelines. I really think he was whipping them up on purpose.

 

Then, at the very last second, the nonchalantly throws the flag as the crowd erupts into as much noise as I ever have heard at a Panthers regular season game.

Meh. Southern fans are laid back, whereas it doesn't take much to push someone from the northeast over the edge. It take more than a cheating coach's challenge flag to get us riled up.

Minor league baseball games in the south are virtually silent until A.) the pitcher's performance requires heckling or B.) the alcohol sinks in

As much as I hate the patriots I respect Bill Belichick because the hard work and attention to detail. You can call him a cheater all you like but he is always successful and hasn't had a loosing record in how long?

    • I just dont get the worry over losing a practice squad player that just went undrafted. Everyone just made their selections. The chances of a team wanting to sign him to an active roster after not selecting him is very low.  If that interested they would have taken him late to evaluate in person. As far as I can tell two qbs were signed off another teams practice squad last season and they were both going in to their 5th season.
    • I enjoyed reading this thread and the usual banter that follows. The only silver lining I can identify right now is we do actually have a couple of young QB's behind him and we do have a nice roster on both sides of the ball built around the most important position. So if the team overall shows some promise but we still falter largely due to a lack of consistent passing output (again) hopefully the decision makers can be free to make the best decision for the team going forward after the conclusion of this upcoming season.
    • I don't really follow the team anymore due to a variety of reasons and consequently have largely stopped posting but I agree that this is a lovely website and community. This forum probably kept me around for years longer than I would've stuck otherwise because of how difficult it was to stop checking multiple times a day. Especially appreciate how lax the moderation tends to be compared to a lot of places, the crew here does a great job. Out of curiousity I decided to try making a new account (solely for testing purposes) to see what exactly is wrong with the sign up process. The issue seems to be that it never sends you an account verification email, thus making it impossible to complete registration. This is likely something to do with the email server upstream, hope it gets fixed. Also, lol
