Yep.  I agree with that. I actually thought he played a fine first half and when they had that great drive out of half with BJGE as the lead back, I seriously said: "They have it. O'Brien sees it and there is no way he'll veer from this because NY will be overwhelmed come the 4th". But, but Brady's INT to start the 4th destroyed this.  That INT destroys any stats Brady had built up before that. One horrendous decision like that just completely ruins anything positive.  Not so coincidentally, he threw it with BJGE subbed for and with the final drives were with BJGE not used as a lead back again. So, that part is on O'Brien and his lack of seeing it.   If he just hadn't subbed for BJGE for the rest of the game, minus to get him a breather, we win the SB.

In Response to Is BB getting the job done as Head Coach? : You ask: 1) not running enough? 2) If these great flaws exist? 3) Best coach in the game and you have no complaints? Are'nt you a poster that has rigidly complained about Belichicks defense? And who is the DC may I ask? The Pats can't run simply because Belichick uses a RB that is North and South and has problems shedding and avoiding Tacklers. Just a spy on D even playing loosely is enough to stop the run game with BJGE! He is not the go-to RB. Flaws do'nt exist on a defense that does not even force 3 and outs in a SB? OH Yeah the best coach in the game that allows an injured player only 20% of himself to play the WHOLE GAME? And NO OTHER game plan to compensate, OH yes, quite a decoy! A coach that uses numerous numbers on D'fense hoping a couple will stick? A defensive genious?   A coach that has allowed the groceries bought before his arrival to run out and never replaced them. 2006 + A coach lacking inter-personal skills with an ego that will never admit failure on choices in the draft until 3-4 years down the road. If Belichick truly wants to issue his famous 'bend do'nt break' then he must supply his QB with a RB and a True WR to stretch the field on Offense and truly control TOP. That wins! Belichick ought to Kiss Bradys bottom every day. The truth is the Pats can't run anymore they can't stretch the field anymore. They simply win more than lose because of a circle of right players doing more than thier share.   How many people in 'Business' have any of you met that will NEVER admit that they did'nt know (something) that? Almost NONE! That is arrogance! The sooner Kraft buys his contract out the better.  Nothing personal...just Business!

Yes, he is.  As for playcalling, does anyone on this forum really know how many times Brady changes a run to a pass call?

In Response to Re: Is BB getting the job done as Head Coach? : He's a huge troll. Anyone that appears intelligent who constantly ignores the facts and very rational, long time proven opinions is a troll at this point, spamming the board. Babe thinks BB should be Bill Walsh, Zampese and Weis rolled up into one during games, apparently. Meanwhile, everyone with a brain realizes BB isn't that and can't control Tom Brady's ego or brain.

Babe deralied it by again sneakily sliding in the preposterous premise that BB is an "average" GM. His main goal with the thread is to deflect from his boyfriend's mediocre or subpar postseason performances in recent years.

This thread has lost its way as usual.  I do not know why posters here cannot stay OT.  The question is, is he getting the job done as Head Coach, not GM, not owner, not golf pro, not Pope, not train engineer but coach of the New England Patriots.  There is only one answer and if you have watched the PATS since 2001 then it should be a simple answer for any New England fan.  Its a simple answer for the fans of other teams as well and they all know it.  You all know that the YETS fans, as much as they hate us and BB feel that if had stayed in New York, it would have been them and not us all these years.  Note that's years, it has been a decade characterized by WINNING....  Let me know if you have any questions.

They have won 3 super bowls in 10 years and have been very close to winning 6 super bowls in 10 years. Almost unthinkable,  there isn't an NFL team that has even been close to doing what the Patriots have done in the past 10 years. I would say that is getting the job done as head coach. What is the point of this? The answer is obvious. He isn't going to get it right every game but who could?

In Response to Re: Is BB getting the job done as Head Coach? : Yes, that's correct.  BB can't control every move Brady makes during a game. Yes.  Brady is his own human being. Get it?

You're certainly getting the job done as a troll.

In Response to Re: Is BB getting the job done as Head Coach? : I post a poll asking if BB is a good HC. I say he is. And you conclude I'm a troll. Brilliant deduction Watson.

In Response to Re: Is BB getting the job done as Head Coach? : The usual suspects who criticize the way BB runs the team incessantly are using their typical tactics of diversion. Just as they criticize BB and act like they are criticizing Brady and OB, here they try to turn the discussion away from their devious bashing of BB as HC to a discussion of BB as a GM. It's the same old shell game they always play.

In Response to Re: Is BB getting the job done as Head Coach? : No surprise the BB basher trolls call me a troll.  Typical diversion tactic.

I see innumerable posts complaining about the Pats not running enough and using certain formations too much. So, is BB doing a good job as Head Coach if these great flaws exist? I think he's the best coach in the game and I have no complaints with his coaching.
