Belichick not happy with preseason loss to Panthers

Recommended Posts

“The Panthers obviously did a good job tonight,” Bill Belichick told reporters after the game. “Coach Rivera, his staff, their team played well in all three phases of the game and outplayed us across the board for four quarters. We have a lot of work to do, it really wasn’t any part of the game that was very competitive. We just have to go back to work, and see if we can find a way to do a few things better than we did them tonight.

I would probably replace hates with respects.

Want to beat BB as consistently as possible...have a mobile QB...his defenses struggle vs. them.  And with Luke, TD, and Shaq, we have LB's whose strengths take away some of their strengths on offense.

Also, want to rattle Brady...interior pressure...and we have Poe and KK.

I hate thePats so much and hope they go 0-16 but I will say that if we are to win the SB this year this is no team I'd rather beat than the Pats. Get revenge just like the Eagles did last year and make Brady tied for most SB losses as well...

The Pats often start out looking like they've finally run out of gas and won't sniff the playoffs. I'll believe it when I see it. They usually get better as the season progresses and it seems that every year the other AFC East teams are just there to pad the Pats' win column.

As long as they have Bills Miami and Jets to play they can always get into the playoffs. 

Outside of that, they are the best in football at making adjustments, plugging in players that would be garbage elsewhere and making them serviceable, and of course a closer for a quarterback.

thats just the truth.

The Pats would struggle to make the playoffs in the NFC this year. They are lucky to play in their cake division in a far inferior conference. 

I agree with he second part at least.  They are basically pencilled into he playoffs every year due to being in the AFC least.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
