Bill Belichick kicked off the season, claiming his wish to surpass Don Shula as the NFL’s winningest head coach so far. Yet perhaps he forgot that his best weapon, who adorned his coaching career with six Super Bowls, is no longer with him. Instead of being the coach with the most wins, he is apparently on the verge of naming himself the coach with the most defeats in the NFL soon.
In the midst of all the controversy, Brady chose to stick by his two-decade-old coach’s side, defending his ideals as timeless. Recently, the retired NFL athlete reiterated his commitment to Bill Belichick’s ideals by quoting some of the New England Patriots coach’s statements when analyzing the recent Buffalo Bills vs. New York Giants unnecessary clash.
Brady stands up for Bills, Giants aggressive play citing Bill Belichick
The NFL Week 6 featured three off-field battles, including Los Angeles Chargers vs Dallas Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers vs Cleveland Browns and Bills vs New York Giants.
Among them was a game between the Buffalo Bills and the New York Giants at Highmark Stadium. When this terrible situation occurred when the Bills attempted to score their first touchdown, the score was 6-0 in favor of the New York Giants.
The Chargers-Cowboys game resulted in no injuries, but owing to the Bills-Giants game, Bills running back Damien Harris had to be carried away in an ambulance early in the second quarter. During the match, he was engaged in a serious collision.
The circumstance was frightening enough, and it affected Brady’s heart, so in the Let’s Go Tom Brady podcast, the 46-year-old couldn’t help but bring it up. The retired player lambasted the unneeded conflict among the players with Bill Belichick’s six-word philosophy, which served as his inspiration during his whole NFL career.
In this case, Tom Terrific told Essentailly Sports, “Do business as business is being done.”
The 23-season vet perhaps witnessed the same kind of situation many times during his career, yet almost every time, the California Cool managed to keep his cool and control the situation.
Nevertheless, the brawl awarded both teams a significant number of penalties. Seven penalties were given to the Buffalo side and nine were given to the Giants for 51 and 65 yards, respectively.
Patriots and Bill Belichick haunted by their worst start in NFL
Since the start of the season, the Patriots haven’t looked like the team Brady left after winning six Super Bowls. Despite his constant persistence and hope for a turn of fortune in every game, Bill Belichick suffered nothing but disappointment.
After six NFL games, the 71-year-old’s team is now ranked lowest in their division, falling to 1-5. Prior to that, the coach’s 38-3 loss against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4 of his two-decade tenure with the Patriots was his lowest point. In Week 5, the New Orleans Saints handed him his second-worst 0-34 loss of his coaching career, marking yet another career low for him.
It was recorded as the worst start of his coaching career since he was burdened with coaching duties. Following this losing streak, the NFL community instantly raised questions about his coaching prowess.
NFL analyst Stephen A. Smith demanded a significant move on the Patriots roster regarding Bill Belichick. Furthermore, a reporter of “The Athletic” said his long-tenure as Patriots coach probably would come to an end soon because team owner Robert Kraft is already very disappointed with these back-to-back losses.
What’s your take on the Patriots’ and their coach’s consecutive losses?
