Some discussion items, mostly Dolphins related.

* Four of the quarterbacks still in the playoff hunt are from the 2012 draft class. Robert Griffin III, Ryan Tannehill, Russell Wilson and Kirk Cousins. For Tannehill and Cousins they both got their first playoff wins. Only Wilson has so far won a super bowl. Griffin is backing up Lamar Jackson in Baltimore.

* Happy for Tannehill. He didn't play great against the Patriots, but you don't always have to when you've got talent around you. Look no further than last years' super bowl when Tom Brady really didn't need to do much in that win. Derrick Henry was sensational in this game. He's a free agent, by the way. But, I seriously doubt he leaves Tennessee. I would love Miami to draft a runner like that and dictate the running game. Perhaps that's a reason the Dolphins brought in Chan Gailey.

* During the last nine games of the season Miami went 5-4. During their last nine games, including the playoffs, New England went 4-5.

* Rumors, likely untrue, have Bill Bellichick linked to the New York Giants. Perhaps that might make sense for him. He has nothing left to prove in New England. A move, and success, certainly could help his personal resume. Maybe he wants to prove he can win without Brady. Then again, doubt it's true.
 
Love to see him fall on his face...

Like Jimmuh! did when he stole our money and drove our his cowardly ass into retirement.

The Belichick rumor to the NY Giants isn't quite as crazy as some may think. While he's been at the Patriots for the past 20 years, he actually had 12 years with Giants. It's where he had his initial NFL success.
  • New York Giants (1979)
    Special teams coach & defensive assistant
  • New York Giants (1980–1984)
    Linebackers coach & special teams coach
  • New York Giants (1985–1990)
    Defensive coordinator
The Giants have a good young QB and a very good young RB but need talent on Defense. Bill could probably make them very competitive in a couple of years.

I could see BB eventually stepping into a strictly FO role with NE if he wants to stay with the franchise. He has been successful as the GM for years. That being said, I think the only team he might agree to coach outside the Patriots is the Giants. It might be unlikely, but it certainly could happen.
 
I can't see Belichick leaving New England. He'll get whatever he wants and stay there until he decides to retire ... probably at age 85. Any team would want Belichick ... but he's not looking for a new challenge or to scare away old ghosts ... he just wants another ring or three, and he knows his best chance of that isn't in rebuilding a franchise. Right now it's all about comfort and winning now ... and the Giants offer none of either.

There probably was a time when he would consider another team, and the Giants are probably the one team he would consider. But, that time came during Brady's heyday, and there's no way in hell that Belichick was leaving New England then ... in the middle of their dynasty days. Belichick, like many coaches, checks in with Jimmy Johnson from time to time, and I'm sure he realizes just how difficult it was for Jimmy to re-create his Dallas magic in Miami, despite the presence of the premier QB in the league. If it ain't broke ...
 
Belicheat will continue coaching until beats Shulas record.
5 more years coaching then GM of the Pats
 
If you're going to throw out some Bill Belichick rumor stuff like that then link to where you're hearing it because it sounds absolutely ridiculous.
 
Hard to tell if BB is happy being in NE or not. Hard to tell if he likes Kraft or not. Hard to tell if he likes anything but winning football games. Not sure if it matters to him where that is.
 
If BB wants to prove he can win without Brady then he should stay in NE......Brady's not helping much these days....lol

I think deep down Brady and BB know they need each other. I'll be surprised if either leave
 
If BB really wants to prove he is the GOAT he needs to become the GM of the Miami Dolphins in 2020 to he help turn this ship around.

I f@@ken hope not, especially by Belicheat. Many of our greatest moments are certainly growing cobwebs around them like Shula's 347 or the Perfect season but I still want them to be ours and ours only. Hopefully Flo can lead us to further glory in the immediate future.

Sorry. Heard it on talk radio. They quoted sources, but I can't remember the sports writers' name.

Perhaps the Giants checked in with Bellichick. I can see that.
