New Jersey isn't sending their finest
They can't have Mark Sanchez by the worst thing to happen to the Jets this week.

I swear, they're like, the third worst plane related thing related to New York. Granted I'm also of the opinion that MetLife Stadium is cursed and the only way the Jets and Giants will be... Not Shit, is if they acknowledge that they play in New Jersey and rename the teams appropriately.
 
It was a symbiotic relationship. Neither one of them would have the Pats Owls if they weren’t paired up.
Brady showed in Tampa that he could do it as a geriatric. If the Browns picked him instead of Sperg Wynn then Cleveland and Jimmy Haslam would have Rings.

Belichick has proved himself to be fucking clueless. Brady is the actual GOAT.

Fun Fact: Belichick has a losing record before, and then after Tom Brady.
 
Fun fact about Belichick: his football team's success rides/dies with his relationship status:
  • 2004-06: strife with his wife, mother of his children, ends in divorce. First Pats dynasty falls apart, no rings
  • 2007: meets next long-term girlfriend, instantly has record-setting season, SB appearance
  • 2008-19: relationship is humming, 3 rings, Brady starts ass-whipping father time despite Belichick's best efforts
  • 2020-2024: strife with girlfriend, start living apart, Patriots are a clown show post-Brady, Belichick unceremoniously fired after the 2023 season and Kraft tries to write him out of Patriots history
  • 2025: gets some 25 year old poontang, starts letting her make all the decisions, high profile flameout at UNC
Clearly the secret to getting the most out of Belichick is the pink cloud of a happy romance, whenever he's troubled at home his team self-immolates.

A more concise criticism of Bill Belichick.

Let’s start with the obvious: sure, Tom Brady probably doesn’t become Tom Brady in Cleveland. Fine. But that defense misses the point entirely. Nobody’s saying Brady would’ve been a superstar on the Browns — the point is that Belichick didn’t make Brady. He depended on Brady.

While we are doing this, let’s not rewrite history: early 2000s New England wasn’t some miracle of “Patriot Way” genius. It was a solid team Belichick inherited from Pete Carroll, who left behind a disciplined roster and a stable culture. Belichick didn’t build from ashes, he squatted in the house someone else built and took credit for it like the slavnigger he is.

Belichick didn’t conjure Brady from thin air; he stumbled into him. The Patriots weren’t some cutting-edge think tank that “saw through” the scouting fog — they drafted a quarterback in the sixth round who just happened to become the greatest of all time. And if Belichick had really believed in him, Brady wouldn’t have needed Bledsoe nearly dying in a freak accident to get a shot. Once he did get the job? The game plan was pure hand-holding “don’t screw it up, kid.” Belichick didn’t unleash Brady; Brady defied expectations and Belichick.

And remember — this is the same Belichick who rarely drafted well, whose “genius” drafts often looked more like blind dart throws. His roster-building brilliance mostly boiled down to “Brady will cover it.” The Patriots dynasty wasn’t built on draft-day wizardry; it was built on pick #199. Belichick’s drafts were a revolving door of misses — N’Keal Harry over Deebo Samuel and A.J. Brown, Chad Jackson, Laurence Maroney, Cyrus Jones, Ras-I Dowling — the list reads like a cautionary tale. For every solid pick, there were five disasters. The Patriots’ “system” wasn’t some talent factory, it was Brady turning replacement-level players into household names.

As for that supposedly “bold” call to stick with Brady? Are you retarded? Are you special needs? It was “bold” because Sports Media, famous for producing retarded niggers like Stephan A., doubted the call. Brady was an anomaly. If Damon Huard had been the back then Belichick would’ve gotten him canned. And once Brady did get in? Belichick wrapped the offense in bubble wrap. The game plan was simple: “Don’t lose it.” No downfield shots, no freedom, no trust. Belichick was terrified and his play calling almost fucked them. Brady didn’t thrive because of Belichick’s system; he thrived in spite of it. He grew while Belichick tugged the reins. OC’s like Josh McDaniel’s have more claim to developing Tom. Patriots QB’s seem to thrive under anyone, but Bill. Tom is the GOAT for that as well.

Defensively? The “legend” doesn’t hold up to scrutiny either. Belichick’s defenses have been wildly overrated. 2011: ranked 25th overall. 2017: gave up 500 yards and 41 points in the Super Bowl. Even his so-called “defensive masterpieces” were usually just Brady dragging a mediocre unit across the finish line. 2018? The defense didn’t win it, I am a Detroit fan and I’ll say it: Goff got rattled against the actual Legend, Tom Brady. The supposed genius was watching his defense get embarrassed while Brady kept giving him a chance 9/10.

And Robert Kraft? This wasn’t some visionary partnership between a philosopher-coach and a daring owner. Kraft gave Belichick unchecked power after the rings started piling up. It wasn’t trust and it wasn’t the Patriot way, it was dependency on Tom Brady. The moment the wins slowed and the draft picks flopped, the emperor had no clothes and

In the end, the Patriots dynasty wasn’t proof of Belichick’s brilliance. It was proof of what happens when one quarterback transcends his coach, his system, and his era. Belichick didn’t build Brady. It’s the opposite Brady built Belichick’s legacy, win by win, comeback by comeback.

Without Brady, Belichick isn’t “the greatest coach of all time.” He’s a Bill Parsells hanger-on who lucked into a legend and spent 20 years trying to convince the world it was the other way around. UNC and the stories that will spill out will prove this and more.
 
Ok, I've heard of Superbowl Hangovers, but it's the fucking G-Men. How in the fuck are the Eagles trailing them?

This entire season is on drugs.
The Eagles are pretty banged up. Kafka between the past 4 games, drew up a real playbook for Cam Skattebo, who is fun to watch. There's still time to fuck this up. Never count NY out in their ability to grasp defeat from the jaws of victory.
 
After week 2, I never would have had the Giant leading the Eagles in a game this season, ever. Now with Dart under center, the Giants look.... decent? Maybe above average?

What a weird ass season man.
Dart's performance is being strongly helped by the Eagles secondary giving strong late-10's Seahawks vibes
>poor coverage
>poor tackling
>best shutdown plays are when receivers just run into them
