BILL BELICHICK IS THE GOAT BECAUSE EACH GAME PLAN IS DIFFERENT EVERY WEEK
No other Head Coach in the NFL in 2021 would have resorted to a game-plan as outlandish as Belichick’s, but he committed to running the ball and it worked out. No one can definitively know what to expect from the legendary NFL Head Coach due to his team’s ability to mold their units to whatever they believe will result in a win.
Even though Mac Jones couldn’t showcase his potential Super Bowl winning ability on the national stage, Bill Belichick is still willing to go against conventional thought and rely on his intuition. Passing the football is prioritized season after season in the NFL. Bill Belichick didn’t care about today’s so-called “passing league” that the NFL has become.
With tough winds, it was clear the Patriots knew they couldn’t throw the ball against the wind successfully and instead resorted to rushing the ball on basically EVERY single offensive play except for three passes (of 49 offensive snaps). Any other team (including Buffalo) would’ve tried to push the ball down the field, but Belichick stuck to his rushing roots and dismantled the Bills defense, which was routinely in nine and ten man boxes and still couldn’t stop the ground-and-pound gameplan.
