    Patriots' Defensive Dominance

    "Patriots' Defensive Dominance Has NFL Rivals in Awe of Bill Belichick Again

    MIKE FREEMAN
    OCTOBER 11, 20190

    Elise Amendola/Associated Press

    There are people in the NFL who have spent much of their careers studying everything Bill Belichick does, and they say what he is doing this season with the Patriots defense is unprecedented, even for him.

    As coaches have prepared to face New England, or have looked at the Patriots' game tape to steal tricks and ideas, they've all come away thinking the future Hall of Fame coach has created the most disciplined, effective and well-rounded defense they've ever seen. Some—I spoke to four assistants total—say the Patriots defense is the best example yet of how Belichick blends talent with a total team concept."

    Lets see what happens when they play a serious offense.

    I am looking forward to Belichick matching up with Lamar Jackson in an early November Sunday night game

    Yeah, and the Ravens usually play the Patriots tough.

    Steelers, Jets, Bill, Redskins, Dolphins ... they've played arguably the worst teams in the NFL thus far.

    Yep - Football Outsiders DVOA efficiency ratings ranks the six offenses the Pats have played at 24 and below in a 32 team league

    https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/teameff/2019

    Those abysmal rankings are due to more than just having the ranking depressed by what those teams did against the Pats

    "A different brand of domination: Why critics of the Patriots defense are off base






    By Nick Underhill Oct 16, 2019 6



    The Patriots haven’t played anyone.

    The defense isn’t that good.

    No one knows anything about them.

    What have we learned?

    Blah, blah, blah.

    Anyone who has actually watched the Patriots this season knows the level of dominance they’ve exhibited on the defensive side of the ball has been a different brand from what is usually seen. This isn’t the garden-variety good team vs. bad team stuff. The first six weeks have been like King Koopa running alongside some Koopa Troopas."

    And if you don’t believe it — or if you don’t understand that Super Mario Brothers reference — there are measures out there that show just how good the Patriots have been. We live in an era where you can isolate things and see how a team is stacking up against its opponents. So, when someone says Miami’s receivers don’t get open, we check that and see how often those guys get open and how it compares by
    opponent.

    Here’s a hint:..."

    I realized that it's not the Patriots I hate, it's their fans. These guys have a sense of entitlement that's worse than the millenials nowadays

    We can't help it if we're the best.

    "Boston Ranked Best City for Sports Fans; New York, Not


    Is anyone surprised?

    Boston prides itself on its rich sporting tradition and winning heritage, from the dynastic Bill Russell-led Celtics of the 50s and 60s, to the Big Bad Bruins of the early 70s, to the seemingly indefinite Brady-Belichick era—plus all the area’s success in college hockey and football, and some team called the “Red Sox.”"

    I like Duck though.

    The fans are easy to despise, but I'm conflicted on "Clothes Hamper Belichick". On the one hand, he's a student of the game and comes off as likeable in candid moments, but OTOH he embraces cheating right out in the open; testing gray areas in the letter of the rules instead of abiding by their intent. There's no sense of 'fair play' there.
    Like "Let's see if we can sub our players while denying the opponents the opportunity to do the same". I don't think that idea would even occur to most coaches.

    But yeah... I know very few likeable Pats fans, especially online. We used to have a decent one around here, but I don't know what ever became of him.

    Yeah, that never occurred to other coaches.
