I don't think it's that wrong. Gronk gets away with things lesser players would be/are sanctioned for, and Brady is... well, he's a company dude, but they give him time off practice away from the team because he's Tom Brady.

But it's something great coaches do with great players. Way back when he was with the Giants, Belichick avoided checking on LT on curfew because he was out beating prostitutes with chair legs, but he'd always show up for games.

Jimmy Johnson famously said the rules apply to everyone, except for Irvin, Emmitt and Aikman, and if you want the same, then be as good as they are.

If it makes you feel better, Belichick is infamous for nitpicking the poo poo out of Brady's game tape in front of everyone like he does to everyone else.

I got curious so went and looked. I liked the blurb about how the pix six and pick 2 were them just winning the lottery and dumb luck and not having skill players at/in the right positions.

The same guy definitely didn't have a pick six last month too.

And the Chiefs definitely don't lead the league in turnovers.

Speaking of, DVOA: http://www.footballoutsiders.com/dvoa-ratings/2016/week-13-dvoa-ratings

Patriots are #1, but are the weakest #1 ever, and are so weak that only two years since '89 have a #3 team as low as they are, and most years have between 5-8 teams better.

The top 7 offensive teams are really bad on D

1. Falcons: 28th
2. Cowboys: 26th
3. Patriots: 19th
4. Raiders: 22nd
5. Saints: 25th
6. Washington 23rd
7. Titans 24th

and vice versa:

1. Broncos: 24th
2. Ravens 27th
3. Cardinals 26th
4. Eagles 22nd
5. Seahawks 13th
6. Vikings 25th
7. Giants 19th

Also... the Titans are the 7th best offense in football?

Believe it or not there was a time Mike McCoy was a big up and coming head coaching prospect.

He was gently pushed out of the way in favor of Jeff Davidson, who was the spiro agnew to Fox's Nixon.

Also if I sound worked up it isn't because the power rankings it's because I'm posting from my car during rush hour and there's a spider somewhere in this car. It was on my shoulder and was walking on my shoulder and is now around somewhere so basically it's the end times

ST/Defensive scores are pretty drat unsustainable, especially against better teams, which is why they're considered flukey.

Yeah Eric Berry was in the perfect place to eat that awful flat pass on the 2 point conversion. But that's why the Raiders throw fades to Crabtree there or the Cowboys throw your entire defensive front seven to the ground or the Patriots run pick plays (or the Seahawks :v:), where even if you dominate and intercept it, you ain't in a position to run that back.

The Falcons are as bad on 2 point conversions as they are on 4th and 1. They bad. Real bad.

The Patriots being that (relatively) bad *feels* right, this team is substantively worse than the 2014 team in pretty much every way except maybe the quality of OL play.
