OT: Bill Belichick Imploding?
- Thread starter Knight Shift
- Start date
Bill don't care about that one bit, he's aiming to make the Playboy HOF in the first ballot like his idol Hugh did
Shedur Sanders is a Pro Bowler but Belichick isn’t a first ballot hall of famer. Makes sense

I'm not a Bill Belichick fan, and I think he's gone off the deep end, but it shocks me that a coach whose team won six Super Bowls and who was a defensive coordinator on a team that won two others isn't a first-ballot hall of famer.
if he ever does make it- he should have Mo Lewis present it to him. Since Mo pretty much presented Belichick's entire HC career to him.
What a F'n joke the NFL is. Embarrassing tbh, he is one of the best coaches ever. Even if you don't like him you gotta realize that. The Hall of Fame in all sports is slowly losing credibility. Same thing with the Pro Bowl and All Star games. Sanders made the pro bowl and he stunk. The sad thing is when people talk about player accomplishments they bring up how many Pro Bowls they made.
Lol the only reason sanders made it is because everyone else told them they weren't doing it. The pro bowl is a joke..the NFL all pro team is what matters...pro bowl is a bunch of challenges like dodge ball and freeze tag on ESPN..
He should be in the HOF for keeping LT on the field . . .
Very simple imo-he was difficult with the media so this is their petty way of getting back
You mean build that wall he was talking about in 2001
. What is he gonna do, you think kids won't talk to a HOF coachHe has won 8 Super Bowls, GS hasn't won a conference championship. GS record is 99-108, take out Ray Rice 3 years and it is 73-96. Enough said.
Take a pill for your SDS. This has nothing to do with Schiano. Holy smokes.
Almost the same as taking the Brady years away from Belichick. That was a very weird argument
Not voting him in on the first ballot is so monumentally stupid that the people who bought into this idea should be removed from the selection committee.
And Brady would be nothing without BB. Eventually TB became more important but no one prepared a team better than BB. He kept turning over the roster and kept winning. Plus a DC for the Giants he won 2 more.
No skin in the game for me......he should have been voted to be in the HOF. To those debating "but Tom Brady"..... many great coaches of note have been propelled by excellent players.
Well who does Belichek support politically? Hmmm ! Liberal writers voting ? Who would guess
the old SI swimsuit commercial where Bledsoe is being held up by Kevin Greene, you can hear Greg LLoyd in the background yelling 'keep him up, keep him up' for the hit
I'll see if I can find the commercial on youtube
how many of you remember, 'not another Steeler's defensive player, can't put the whole team in' despite the numbers? How long Donnie Shell waited was a fking crime
There aren't many coaches in the HOF that didn't have great players and great QBs in particular.
I don't remember that being an issue when all those players from the '60s Packers got in.
Bill was also a gangster handling contracts and rosters. He won Super Bowls with teams often running on bald tires in winter but refurbed in time for camps. People say Brady is why NE kept winning because Bill stopped winning but I think the lack of a good QB and years of roster tweaks just wore NE down for awhile - and the tires stayed bald. Brady just moved to a team on the rise

This is a fair assessment. Compared to other NFL dynasties like the 60s Packers, 70s Steelers, or the 80s 49ers, there were a lot fewer "no doubt" Hall of Famers on those Patriot teams.
Good blog about it here, https://miketanier.substack.com/p/go-fk-yourself-pro-football-hall
some relevant points from that article:
Talk about manipulating numbers. Why don't you take out all his winning seasons? If instead I take out the two years he played with mostly Shea's recruits and the two years he played with mostly Ash's, he's 88-74 instead. You can manipulate numbers to support any given narrative
The NFL should move the Pro Bowl to ESPN 8 The Ocho.
Belichick will get in...but he has mult issues that should stop him from being first ballet. Too many cheating scandals and then, has lack of winning when he didn't have Tom Brady.
the cheating scandals did hurt, but overall he deserved first ballot.
If they are the reason he wasn't voted in first ballot, Tom Brady benefited from them as well, making him eligible to wait a year ( which would be ridiculous )
As for Brady , he was a big factor in winning, but who is to say Tom would have become as great as he was under another HC instead of Bill.
I look at the results and don't try to dissect it so he looks not as worthy as his overall coaching record shows

One voter said he wanted to help some older players (like 70s Pittsburgh's great LC Greenwood) get in before they lost the chance. He said he figured Belichick would get in someday and he wasn't avoiding BB vote for any disdain
"Bill Belichick belongs in the Hall of Fame. But here’s why I didn’t vote for him"
"Bill Belichick belongs in the Hall of Fame. But here’s why I didn’t vote for him"
I saw that and it makes sense. I believe he may have voted for LC and Craig -only leaving him with one more vote and a choice between Kraft and Belichick.
Knowing it was Bill's first year and not his last- it makes all the sense in the world.
