(via The reasons for 2011-13 playoff losses – ‘Do Your Job: Bill Belichick and the 2014 Patriots’ – YouTube)

Wow, it’s like BB took these words directly out of my mouth over the last few seasons. I must’ve written it dozens of times that having Gronk healthy in the last game of the season might just be the biggest key for the Patriots. And as much as everyone wants to kill the Pats’ defense of 2011-2013, they were one or two plays away from winning a Super Bowl. The only real difference of 2014, ending two of the three playoff games with sealing interceptions.

One of the great things about the way Belichick approaches defense is that his scheme doesn’t require, and doesn’t set out to, shut everything down completely. He’s betting that your offense isn’t good enough to beat him with your 4th or 5th option.

Sometimes, that’s gotten him into trouble. There are a couple of memorable (some in Boston would call them lucky) catches in the pair of Super Bowl losses to the Giants that ultimately ended up costing the Patriots the game, but Belichick’s win percentage speaks for itself. More often than not, his well-coached defense is going to take away the things you do best, and leave you with a few things that you’re either not very good at, or just haven’t practiced that much. Now you have to go out on the field and beat him.

So very true. Think of some of the names who had big games against the Pats in recent memory – David Tyree, Mario Manningham, Chris Matthews. All guys who came essentially out of nowhere in those games to make an impact. Direct effect of BB’s style.
