BB is still undefeated in the playoffs when facing a team for the first time that season.
Think about that.
Think about that.

dcmissle said:Right now. As we scramble to hold on to very valuable players, almost certain to lose at least one. With the Jets sitting on $55 million in cap room, the Eagles $50 million, and so forth.
The last 15 years don't happen without a solid owner, a HOF coach AND a HOF QB who plays a long time.
It is so enormously difficult in the current environment, and it starts with BB. May never see anything quite like this again and certainly no time soon.
Belichick on losing Darrelle Revis: "That's NFL free agency. Players change teams every year. Not a big story."
Belichick: I don't even know who is on the team fully
Belichick on Rex landing in Buffalo: "At that point I was concentrating on our team in the playoffs, playing Baltimore, Indy and Seattle."
BB on Vereen loss: "We have a number of players at that position. We'll let them compete and see how it plays out." Says ask Tom [Coughlin].
On DeflateGate: "Talk to the league about that"
Belichick asked about Butler starting: Let the players compete and see how the competition plays out.

Oh, Volin. What a fucking moron.
Gaffney was an impact player on a good Stanford team.Al Zarilla said:Just dawned on me that Tyler Gaffney, who was on the Patriots in 2014 but didn't play at all, is the Stanford stud RB from 2013. He rushed for 1709 YDS., 5.2 YPC that year. Just 15 passes caught though. 4.49 40, not bad. I watched quite a few Stanford games that year. He ran like a man among boys, OK, college level, mostly PAC 12. I'd like to see him get a real chance in the Pats backfield in 2015. Too big for a Shane Vereen type roll? He is fast and quick though.
Ed Hillel said:I think the "you'll have to ask John about that" is my favorite quote in a while. Worthy of a thread title change imho.

Fans don't care how coaches/athletes treat media. Belichick was 20 min late for coaches breakfast and mumbled for 40 minutes. Disrespecful.

Belichick acted like he was coming off four win season instead of fourth Super Bowl., You have to really try hard to be so uncooperative

I think you're looking for the BB press conference thread.
He had some funny, dismissive lines this morning, but I'm not sure they amount to all-time decisions on BB's part.

cornwalls@6 said:I love when he passive-aggressively calls someone(s) a fucking idiot, without really saying it in so many words. Like how "disappointed" he was to hear that the league didn't have the money to pay for the fixed cameras he proposed, per John Mara's comments on the matter. I think that's one of the really enjoyable parts of his performance art.
Wait - that wasn't tongue-in-cheek?Ed Hillel said:"Fans don't care about the media" is fantastic. Lol boo hoo, indeed.

I guess I'm not sure. That's the way I took it originally, given the context of his tweets overall. He seems to be throwing a bit of a hissy.
Myers has been bitching and moaning about Belichick not being nice to reporters since BB's last press conference as HC of the NYJ, if not earlier. We get it, Gary--he makes you all wait around and then refuses to give good quote. What a monster.mwonow said:Wait - that wasn't tongue-in-cheek?

Astounding. I am cracking up at the idea of BB trying to seduce someone.MentalDisabldLst said:He's probably already slept with Volin's girlfriend out of sheer spite for wasting his time

That's a nice dress. Real nice.
Opening:We didnt kiss like we should have, When your kissing against someone like Ben you need to do better job. There was alot of tongue, too much tongue. The effort wasnt there. It was going through the motions which is my and the coaches fault. We need to be better kissers in all 3 phases Lips tongue and embrace.
NFL Network acknowledged it, and showed the "we"re on to Cincinnati clip", editing out everything except the "expect a tough game from Cincinnati", "we're on the Cincinnati", and his other 10 or 12 Cincinnati mentions. And they show his dour face from that night through the whole thing. But at least they acknowledged it. Erin Coscarelli said Happy Birthday Bill, to sort of (+) it up at the end.MentalDisabldLst said:And a happy 63rd Birthday to everyone's favorite party animal, Bill Belichick. May he continue to coach the Pats past Marv Levy's age record of 72. The grass isn't any greener - for us or for him - in any other direction.
edit: the Pats posted a happy-birthday video.
Al Zarilla said:So is he going to update his boat to VI Rings, or is he gonna have to get a bigger boat?
A bigger boat would not make him a better football coach or the team to win more games, therefore there is zero reason for him to get a bigger boat.MainerInExile said:
He makes $7.5m a year. Why is his boat so small to begin with?

At least that's how I assume all of Bills decisions are made.

Q: How close were you to trading that pick?
BB: We picked Brown.
Q: When it came to your turn would you have been more prone to moving out if he wasn’t available?
BB: I don’t know. He was there. We don’t sit there and have those discussions. If Phil Simms was there, would we take Phil Simms? I don’t know.
Q: Phil Simms is way too old.
BB: I’m just saying. Throw up a thousand hypothetical questions, I don’t know the answer to any of them.
