Actually Kind Of Excited About Flores

[DuderinoN703]

Aren't we one of the last teams to beat NE? Lol

Technically yes. Technically Tannehill started that play with the pass to Stills.

Game wasn’t meaningful though in the grand scheme of things.

 

[TheJetsBlow]

OK fine. Had even HALF the success he's had. Better?

I’d sign on for that lol.

You could put Hennehill back there instead of Brady and the results would be the same. When you have Ernie Adams in your ear telling you what the defense is going to do, you are going to look a lot better than you are. In the unlikely event that any of the other 27 teams had drafted Brady, he would have been a three or four year backup and then out of the league. Some other no name would be getting all this phony goat praise.

They went 5-11 in 2000 with Drew Bledsoe who was a veteran QB (and was not a no-name) and than started 0-3 in 2001 until Brady was forced to play and the rest is history.

I disagree. RT could probably outrun Goff

Tanny hasnt beat anyone to make to the playoffs i dont see any reason he suddenly would turn herculean. he would have been like a jumping bean back there trying to get a pass off.

 

[Dolphinitis]

I hate when people have such strong opinions with zero information.

so get the hacking system. dont sit back there like patsy montana forever.

Pittsburgh was the last game the Patriots lost.

No doubt that superbowl performance was hella impressive. It seems like we were talking about how the NE defense was TERRIBLE just earlier this year? I'm not sure who was unhealthy or who got healthy but sure seems like coaching played a huge role in the turnaround.

 

[AphexPhin]

I'm cautiously optimistic about Flores . He has a lot going for him and seems like he'll be much more relatable to NFL players (at least I hope so)

The Spygate book explains this. The Cheatriots did not figure out the signal hacking system until the last preseason game that year. It likely was a work in progress throughout the regular season. Prior to that season, Bellicheck was like most of his coordinators who went on to be a head coach. He had one winning season and the others he won 6, 7, 7, 5 and 5 games. Ernie Adams is the true GOAT. Brady and Bellicheck are just along for the ride.

I wonder how the Bengals and their fans are feeling today after that game. Zac Taylor next McVay or next McNay.

 

[Spiff]

Fwiw, I think RT beats the Patriots today, all other things being equal. Goff was God awful.

Not surprised the Tannehill hate crew is all over you for that comment. It’s like their arms and legs fall off when they read something positive about Tannehill.

I'm in a wait and see at this point. We're about to find out how much it was Flores and how much it was BB. To be fair it could be a little bit of both but BB has come up with some great game plans over the years so we'll see what Flores has learn and if he can actually apply it here.

I need to read this book.

Here are two interviews with the author of the Spygate book






Here is Mike Francesa pointing out to some clown Patriots fan that Spygate happened and that in the 2002 Super Bowl the Rams figured out in the second half that their signals were being stolen and they changed their play calls. As soon as they did that, they scored two touchdowns after being shut down the entire game.
