All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Hammertime is when you start hitting that nail with the hammer and you keep on hittin that nail until you can't see the nail any more and its just wood and its all splintered and broke and then you just keep on hittin at the nail.
The guy must have a huge ego. He's convinced everyone that he's the game's greatest defensive mind. Now he apparently wants to show off his offensive genius as well.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
The Pats don't have an OC. The gameplans will be completed by committee, as they always have been, with Brian Daboll, Dante Scarnechia, Ivan Fears and Josh McDaniels all being assigned various parts. This is the same way it has always been done.
The biggest change will be who calls the plays. Belichick may do this, but it hasn't been announced. Either way, the Pats will be very good offensively, as they are loaded with young talent on that side of the ball and have Brady to run the show.
The biggest question marks on the Pats are on defense. They have brought in more new players there and have talent and depth, but how those players mesh remains to be seen. If they falter at all, it will be because of defense.
The most over-played aspect of this offseason has been the Past loss of Weis and Crennel. Granted, both are excellent coaches, but nothing else has changed. The terminology is the same, the systems are the same and the coaching staff that remains is excellent.
This is like the over-played theme from last off-season, that the rule emphasis on defensive contact beyond 5 yards would be the downfall of the Pats. In the end, it proved not to be a big factor. Neither will the loss of Weis and Crennel.

I don't think you can poo poo the loss of Weis and Crennel, but I don't think it's the end of the world either.
Confidence could be the Pats downfall. It is stupid to atleast not name someone as OC. Even if the guy is just going to be trained to take more responsibilty as the season goes on. If Romeo was still the DC it would be a different story, but Belicheck has 2 sides of the ball that he now needs to game plan for. He's is going to over extend himself, but his ego will not allow him to admit it.
I hope im wrong, but i doubt this does ne thing to them. Another super bowl for them this year
The only thing I can think of that's positive from this is that with Belicheck having to handle more of the load that the OC would, he has less time to do film analysis and come up with detalied game plans of how to defeat the opponent. Not a big advantage, but...he's taken alot of work upon himself now and I'm hoping he can't keep up!
Looks like Belichick wants to relive his head coaching days in Cleveland. I guess it still won't matter as long as all the big calls go their way like they always do.
