Official Week 3 Other Games Thread

[pbmax]

I absolutely loathe New England for many reasons, but one thing I have to admit that's become painfully clear is that Belichick can game plan, scheme, and coach circles around Stubby. It never seems to matter who's out for them or which Fuckdoggle players of the week they're using, they always find ways to be competitive and they end up winning a lot of games that on paper they shouldn't.

Don't forget that this is the AFC. And the Texans are objectively terrible. Osweiler is not good and Watt is hurt. Their secondary is worse now than it was when it was the weak link on an otherwise good defense.

The Texans play in the AFC South, which makes everyone seem on the brink of the playoffs so they are consistently considered one or two guys away.

I know pb but he has a history of doing it over and over again...year after year. He just knows how to put a game plan together that plays to the strength of his team regardless of who in the hell he has available to play. It's not just this game by any measure. I've been watching him do this for a long time. They supposedly didn't have any chance when they went to Arizona for the first game either. He's not afraid to change the damn game plan every week if he has to if it gives his team the best chance to be competitive and win. He just doesn't sit there and continue to try to pound a square peg into a round hole no matter how many times it fails like so many other coaches do.

He did make his offense functional. But by the time they took a 20 point lead, the net yards for both teams were nearly equal. At that point it was a field position and special teams game. Which he was also winning.

Which is simply a long way of saying, he doesn't work miracles, but he doesn't leave any stone unturned either. He went through a long stretch where he could not draft to rebuild his D, but he has fixed that in the last couple of years. Its no mistake they got another Lombardi after that happened.

I agree that he makes a lot of GM decisions that leave you scratching your head and I don't think he's necessarily one of the best in that capacity but strictly as a coach, he sure knows how to get the best out of whatever players he has a available and how to change the emphasis of his game plan from week to week depending on who they are playing. (Using Te's heavy, running heavy, short passing game, using backs as receivers, long passing game, etc.) In addition, he's a pretty good defensive minded coach as well. It seems to me that he has a lot of planning input on both sides of the ball.

J-Mac won't take the job unless Thompson retires or gets beheaded,.

No way in Hades J-Mac signs on to watch Thompson give birth to rookies year after year while hibernating during free agency and the regular season.

Another thing he's done a couple of times that has impressed me is use WRs to fill in when he's out of CBs. He did it with Troy Brown, and again with Endleman. How screwed are other teams when they have to press their #4 CB into a starting roll? He goes to the other side of the ball, during a playoff game and find a guy who forces a fumble.
