The 2022 Patriots are playing with all the precision of 'amusement park bumper cars,' but Bill Belichick continues with the snippy responses and death stares. He should return next season, but without the arrogance, BuckinBoston writes.
Question: “We saw in the second half the sort of impact that Kendrick Bourne can have when he’s made the focal point of the passing game. Why have the opportunities for him to be such a regular target in the offense been so few and far between this year?”Belichickian arrogance of this type was not only tolerated by the masses back in the day, it was encouraged.
Nothing that happens from here on in is going to tarnish Belichick’s reputation. Years from now, anyone looking at the man’s record will see only the championships, not the dust gathering on Butler and Bourne. And whether or not he catches the late Don Shula for the most coaching victories inhistory, Belichick is going to be rubber-stamped into the Pro Football Hall of Fame with the ease of applying for a fishing license.
It’s reasonable to expect that Patriots owner Robert Kraft will be posing these same questions, the difference being that he’ll get to do it in person, not by calling in to “Zolak & Bertrand.”, enlisting former NFL executive Bill Polian to envision an after-the-season meeting between Kraft and Belichick. Said Polian: “You just sit down and say, ‘OK, this has been an unsatisfactory year and I don’t need to pound the desk and talk about that — you know that, I know that.
