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.

    • I need to redo my sub then.  Didn't realize that
    • Here is how I see it. I haven't read through all the comments so it has probably been said. We had ONE way, just one single way to win that game against the Bills. With us having a QB who decided he wanted to switch teams real quick, the only chance (and yes, still a small chance) to win that game was run the ball, with one of top, most violent RB's in the league, down the throat of one of the worst defenses in the league. You start the first play and you keep doing it until the final whistle. Doing this keeps the ball out of the hands of our QB who forgot what he was supposed to be doing that day. It keeps the ball out of the hands of a solid offense you would have to stop. You run the ball with the guy who gets more yards, which in turn should net you more points (I think Dave forgot that getting more yards is better than less yards though, so I hope someone let him know this after the game). Running the ball also can eat up the clock if successful. So the only way we win is a slow, methodical low scoring game where we own the time of possession. What does Dave do? The exact opposite of all that. Dave honest the god, took the best gameplan you  could use, a gameplan any 10 year old that only watches every other game would know to use, that every single fan knows you had to use, Dave's gameplan was to do the exact opposite of that. Dave thought it is better to use a RB that would net you way less yards than the other. Someone will have to explain why it is better to 1/3 the yards you could get (explain why a 4 yard gain is better than a 12 yard gain.) I honestly dont know why less yards is better. It seems like some are saying guys are happier and have more fun the following Monday if they lose but someone is happier because they got to run more? That confuses me. Dave decided instead to put the ball in the hands of a QB who would forget which way they are going down the field, and that's the game has a timer, which ends when the timer goes to zero. Not only does Dave decide to play the players that do worse in practice and games, he will avoid the plays that would seem to have the most chance of success, he decides to keep to the plays that don't work. In orher words, if history shows the play would yield success, you dont use that play. If you have been using a play that does not work at all, that means you should not use any other play except the ones that dont work. Dave will have to explain that strategy also because I don't understand it.  And finally, those who actually watch the whole game can see it, Dave Canales shows an immense amount of fear. He was scared to death of the Bills. You can't get that from the box score. You also can't understand just how much his fear contributes to the loss. Thats why people who say it was all Dalton just don't have the mental capacity to judge, or did not watch at all (only looked at numbers). For example, I think it was the second drive (maybe forth). Dave stopped a touchdown, it was all him. Rico does what Rico does (made Dave look dumb by showing more yards are better than less) and busts out something like a 40 yard run. Things are rolling. Instead of keeping the drive rolling Dave said "hold up, less points are better than more points...i have to stop this." So he pulls out a play so dumb that it leaves the place in shock. He puts Dalton out wide where everyone knows he is worthless, making the decision that we are onlying using 10 players this play, and we don't feel like have a QB at the moment....the perfect time for wildcat (because we are cats too). Its executed exactly as Dave hoped for, flawlessly...a loss of yards. Booyah. Things looking good. Now it's time to put it in Dalton's hands to seal the deal. It goes off perfectly. Buffalo gets the ball. Dave proves he is a genius. I guess I was wrong about him...
