He doesn’t. He’s been doing his best to make them lose by not top-loading his roster, but they just keep winning. I’m sure it must be maddening for him. Someday they’ll go 0-16. Someday…

Richard Sherman 30 for 30 Mockumentary by Frank Caliendo (by ESPN)
h/t to @PatriotsHaven for tweeting this. Great Belichick, but the Jaworski is outta the park.

The ring belonging to the cameraman who got busted back in 2007, bringing about the whole “SpyGate” nightmare, is up for auction. And what I’m about to say is probably sacrilege, near heresy I imagine. But we need to buy it, and destroy it.
Think about it – this ring is cursed! We totally need to pool our collective funds, run a kickstarter, get a rich benefactor to step in and float us a few grand in return for “favors TBD” (gulp), buy this, and throw it into a volcano because, through no fault of his own, that hump got this whole damn mess started. Well, whether it works or not, I believe in this kinda magical hootenanny. Hell, they still bring goats to Cubs games, and Papi tried to bury a Sox jersey in the floor of Yankee Stadium just to fahk with them! To me this ring, as beautiful and majestical and Championshiperiffic as it should be, this one ring symbolizes all that has frustrated Pats fans and stirred up so much hate and spite and envy and vitriol and bitterness and other words that mean having to listen to “F the Pats!” and “18-1!” everywhere I go outside New England. It’s cursed, I tell you! And not all SB 39 rings; just this damned one! It was once beautiful, but now it has lost its way (thanks, Mangini, you Fredo-esque prick!) Therefore, it must be destroyed.
I’ll gladly be the one to stand atop a volcano, or a local garbage incinerator while playing the soundtrack to “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King”, and make it so. Hey, gotta try something, right? Fan is short for “fanatic”, after all.
I’m in!! Can we raise $6700 in one day?

What do you think is Belichick’s greatest strength and weakness
Oh, good one. I think the single greatest strength of Belichick is breaking down an opponent to just a few key things that his team needs to do to beat them. I’ve read a lot of different former players talk about this and you can also see it a bit in BB’s Football Life.
He simplifies the game for his players and nine times out of 10, if they execute his handful of keys to the game, they’ll be successful.
As for weakness, I think it’s his conservative philosophy on defense. I don’t think they need to be an all-out blitzing defense like the Jets can be, but I don’t think teams are afraid of the Patriots defense any more. Really since 2008.
Maybe it’s just because they aren’t as good as they were with Bruschi/Vrabel/Seymour/Vince/Rodney. That he was coaching the same way with those guys, but because they had more talent they were able to win their matchups more consistently. It’s possible.
I also think things have improved a bit since Talib arrived and they started playing more press man. The combination of mostly zone coverages and a passive defense that doesn’t blitz often was a formula for giving up yards upon yards.
Nowhere is this deficiency more apparent on third down. You can read more about how bad they’ve been on third down here.
We need to see more creativity and more pass rushing talent on the team. So that goes back to BB the GM and BB the coach.
