Belichick's record without Brady as his quarterback was 83-104, a .449 winning percentage.

Just sayin'. :D

TBF that could apply to a number of SB winning coaches.

[quote=AnonEmouse;1379673]See the article I posted. There's no position/proof either way on whether it was Spygate. Whilst I am sceptical that no voters held it against him, the voting system doesn't help. It might even be that some voters assumed everyone else would vote for him (or enough voters to swing it). Assuming the HoF investigation isn't a whitewash, best we wait on it. at the moment we're all reacting to the press storied. There's no proof of anything.[/quote]

Polan convince a few that BB should what a year becuase of it, like a penance.

This is why I rate Gibbs way above Belichick.

How many Super Bowls would Belichick have won with Theismann, Williams or Rypien?

I'd say none!

That's rumour, again unconfirmed by anyone. He denied it and it's been confirmed he voted for him. [URL="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7005498/2026/01/28/bill-polian-bill-belichick-hof-voting/"]https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7005498/2026/01/28/bill-polian-bill-belichick-hof-voting/[/URL]

Voting is anonymous so there is no way of knowing who he voted for he did give a speech talking about BB and spygate. I don't think he realize how big of a deal it would be or he would be thrown under the bus.


"Bill Polian couldn’t remember with “100% certainty” if he voted for Bill Belichick to get into the Hall of Fame, per @seth.wickersham & @dvannattaj who was in the room

Polian later went on to say he was “shocked to learn” Belichick wasn’t going to be inducted this year"

Good acceptance speech too. Humble.

Just sayin'. :D[/quote]It was surprisingly bad. Still should not preclude him from being a 1st ballot HOF. His tenure at UNC is off to a rocky start. He's a workaholic, and post Brady hasn't been good. His 8 combined rings and 3x coach of year says enough.

Re: Around the League
 

Do you have around $10 Billion lying around? Then you can be the proud owner of the SuperBowl 60 Champs- Seattle Seahawks. As expected, the Allen Trust put the Seahawks up for sale. I think $10 Billion is realistic, especially for team that just won the Superbowl.

Does Bezos plunk down $10 Billion? This team is a far better buy than we were in 23.

Had Brady gone to Oakland instead of a stacked TB team, his record wouldn't have fared any better TBH. That TB team was a SB contender before he landed, they simply just needed a QB that didn't throw 30 fucking INTs (Jameis Winston).

Re: Around the League
 

The Falcons jumping ahead of us last year may have saved the Redskins a lot of heart ache. They jumped ahead thinking the Skins were going to take Pearce (probably correct). He went on to have a great year and now it is likely he will never play again due to what he did over this week - chasing down his former girlfriend and ramming her car(He's lucky the cops didn't shoot him given he apparently hit a cop with his car when they were attempting to arrest him).

From ESPN

>>>>>
The NFL is exploring adding a "Thanksgiving Eve" game on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, potentially starting as early as the 2026 season
. This new, standalone, primetime game would join an already packed holiday schedule of three Thursday games and a Black Friday matchup, aiming to boost revenue and viewer engagement.
ESPN ESPN +5
Key Details Regarding the Potential Wednesday Game:
Timing: The game would take place on Wednesday, Nov. 25, 2026.
Schedule Impact: If implemented, this would create a 10-day, action-packed stretch for football fans, following college games on Saturday and preceding the traditional Thanksgiving and Friday matchups.
Logistics: Teams playing on this Wednesday would likely be coming off a bye week to manage player rest.
Context: This move follows the success of recent holiday expansions, including games on Black Friday and Christmas. <<<
That game will kill a full bye week for 2 teams.

After a game, 9-10 days later you would have the Wednesday game. With the bye 3 days before Wednesday game. Then another game that following Th,Su,M.

Re: Around the League
 

Be interesting to see how they figure this with a proposed 18 game season. Adding this in with the suggestion of only 2 PS games, but an additional bye week, could still see the season extend another week.
