Lessons learned from the Patriots.

Belichick and Brady aside. Here are off the top of my head what they are good at. Oh remove spying too.

They have athletic versatile players on both sides of the ball.

They get something in return when they let players go.

They aren't afraid to go with the hot hand and they rotate guys in so they get touches to at least get hot. 

They wrap up tackles.

They don't shoot themselves in the foot.

They don't get caught up in the draft hype. They draft guys that fit THEIR system.

Im sure I'm missing some.

Just this season they got rid of Jamie Collins and chandler jones and got basically nothing for them. 

Basically nothing is better than absolutely nothing. New England is great at flipping players turning scrap heap into art.

People hate to give credit to how good Belicheat and Brady really are.  Brady has this mad desire to prove he is the greatest and that desire never fades.  somehow that team just turns $hit into apple butter when it comes to players and thats all on coaching. I've come to terms with  the fact that this franchise will never be great like the Steelers once were and the Patriots are now. Our owner is too cheap and too content on what they feel is consistency.

But Richardson wants to follow the Steelers' model of success. No, bitch NE is THE Franchise id do my damned hardest to emulate. An Owner who backs his QB, an organization that disdains losing, etc. When was the last time the Pats went 6-10? 7-8-1?

Agree on all but the last part. This franchise may never be a dynasty under the current owner, but he won't be around forever. And the team must be sold after his demise, so it'll get new ownership blood and let's hope it is an owner who has the desire to win Lombardi's as much as we as fans want them.

Bellichck never stopped coaching...he said he was making a adjustments in the 1st quarter....I saw him with photos talking with his  DL early, as well as thumbing thru more photos late in the game

players make plays, and the pats players made great ones, but graet coaches put them in the right position to do so

our coaches are like Shenahan in that we don't have the feel for the game as it progresses...while Brady is the GOAT, Bellichk is just so much better than anybody we have 

also...hope the falcons take a decade to recover from this

This game proved why the Patriots are renowned for their game planing in the build up to games and during games. They had a plan A, B, and C. They had issues with the Falcons stunts and delayed blitzes early on and made adjustments. They started running empty sets, no huddle, James White, crossing routes. On Defense, they abandoned zone and started doing press man so that they could force Ryan to hold onto the ball, which lead to key sacks late in the game. I like Ron as a person but he will just be there on the sideline crossing his arms and say "missed opportunities". As a poster already mentioned, players do have to execute but coaches also have to put them in position to make plays. I'm tired of "we do what we do" and not worry about how the defense is attacking us.

    • Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.
    • Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!
    • You do know the biggest military base in the US is located just an hour from Raleigh in Fort Bragg right? Military families are family oriented. A hour drive to games is nothing compared to traveling 3 hours to Charlotte.   Cmon man there is nothing happening in Western Carolina other than Charlotte. I only go west for outdoor activities and some nature/mountain views.
