I'd argue the difference for SF is a healthy CMC AND quality depth across the roster. They have hardly missed a beat on D after losing their top 2 players for the season, and Jones did a good job when filling in for Purdy.

Bill Bellichek won’t be a first year HOF inductee, he didn’t get enough votes.

Retarded by the NFL.

Sports writers are the worst. Know it alls in an empty room. I always laugh when I hear things like “not a first ballot hall of famer” oh but next year you’ll vote for him? So stupid

It is unbelievable. I was one that felt Spygate was a bigger deal than others but still feel he should be a 1st ballot. No denying that Spygate, Deflategate, and his absymal post Brady record are not helping him here. He should be 1st ballot. That 2007 team was arguably the best pro team I've seen.

8 rings and he’s not in

Just an embarrassing look for the NFL

The HOF voters should have to answer for this BS

Maybe none of them can get a GF 1/3 their age and it's nothing to do with his record?...

Which is absurd because with AI we all can have a girlfriend a 1/3 our age

If you are under 54 that's a very bad concept!

I am in the minority here, but I have no problem with Belichick having to wait a year (I am sure he will get in next year) as a bit of penance for Spygate and Deflategate. The dude was a serial cheater, and didn't learn his lesson after being called out for Spygate. If the voters decide to shame him by making him wait a year for the jacket, I am having trouble being sympathetic. Does he deserve to be in the HOF? Of course he does -- part of 8 Superbowls and won 6, and near the top of the list for all-time wins. But I also think it is fine for the league to remind everyone that there's a standard to uphold, and the dude fell short of it in ways that were detrimental to the league and to the teams he was competing against.

I wonder whether he would still have made it if he were more likeable. Sitting at press conferences, muttering monosyllabic responses to questions from under the hoodie probably didn't endear him to folks. Sometimes in life, it helps to not be an asshole. Bill didn't get that memo.

He was already punished by the league. I can’t stand the holier than thou attitude of Hall voters. Do your job and vote in a coach that has 8 rings and a stellar resume. It’s petty and ridiculous.

Calia normally I agree with you on things but not on this. The man had a direct hand in 8 super bowl titles. Went to 12 title games overall. The cheating stuff - every coach will take advantage of a loophole if they see a grey area where things aren't clearly defined. Shit, even if things are clearly defined coaches and players will push the envelope, because winning in the NFL is a matter of inches. He paid his dues for those scandals.

If Belichick is not a first ballot HOFer, idk who is. This includes Tom Brady.

Keeping him out (especially if it's for one year) just because you don't like the man is playing politics, and it casts the HOF voting process in a terrible light.

The people who left him off their ballots need to do a public op-ed and explain why they did it and take the heat that they absolutely deserve. If nobody stands up for their reasoning it makes it even worse.

What’s next a snub for Brady?

I hate that I have to defend a prick like BB but here we are.
