It would be impossible to choose Brady, Kraft, or Bill, to replicate all the success with the patriots. They all had an ability that contributed, Brady was passed on a lot of coaches and was not seen as a great College player. As someone mentioned if not for Drew being injured we might have never known. So far Baker has been able to eclipse Brady’s last season with the Buc’s. Bill was a successful coach and had Super Bowl rings as an assistant prior to the dynasty, if he had kept his job with the Jets maybe they would have been successful or maybe not. Kraft a successful business man and hands on owner, it will be interesting how the new hires do, how much flexibility he gives them. Right now they don’t seem to be strong roster in the AFC.

Reports are that Bill Bellicheck interviewed for the Falcons position, which I don't think is the right team, Atlanta has some talent in the offense but no QB. I don’t think his strength is getting along with a young team. However, it is a weak division and could probably easily get a playoff spot.

I think the Cowboys is an older roster and would be more ideal team for Bill. He is hunting down the most wins and needs 26 more to do so and could easily do that in a 3-year period with the cowboys.  He is friends with Jerry Jones however, it might be a Kraft situation where they might butt heads. If he wins a Super Bowl with the Cowboys, bill fans might think he is JC.

Other than the Lions game the playoffs have been pretty one sided perhaps next week will be some better games.I was a little disappointed in my Browns, I thought if they played strong defense and Flacco didn't throw the Pick 6's that they had a chance, but they fell apart, however I was suprised they did what they did after all the injuries and 5 starting Qb's.

I will be sad when Jerry Jones leaves the Cowboys organization, because they might actually get better when that happens.

They didn't, especially in the first half. That last drive was pretty good though 

 

Luckily the Packers always have special teams problems and they decided to go with analytics and not go for the field goal in the first quarter.

 

I will never understand why teams recently don't want points, put points on the board any points on the board right now

Given they missed a FG late in the game, I can understand.

I'm really going to have to eat my words about Dan I typed early last season.  Which I'm totally OK with.  They can do it, but it's going to be really hard to beat SF.

I'm a fan of them as long as they aren't playing the 49ers.

Yes, it will. But you never know. One more win. Just one more win...

So something typed on another board- in THIS century, the Lions have gone 0-16 and still have made it to the NFC championship before the Cowboys.

In reply to Steve_Jones :

When I watch football, it is usually with my Father in Law who is in his college's hall of fame as a Defensive Lineman; he also coached at the youth, high school, and college level. He's in a walker due to a botched knee surgery; the knee surgery was necessitated by football. He rarely says stuff like that ("can't believe he missed that tackle"), but when he does, I assume that he knows what he is talking about. 

I find it really funny though that my Mother in law - who was raised by a hall of fame high school football coach, who's brother and husband are in their college hall of fames, and who's son played D1 - asks me a question about football. She knows more than 99% of fans out there, she's just too... modest? to admit it. I know nearly nothing about football.

I don't understand the hate for TS, although I agree the networks have been giving WAY too much time to her and Travis.....there's talk TK will retire after this season so he can pursue more movie and TV stuff. People really liked him on SNL.

Back to the Chiefs, they have a tough road ahead with the Ravens......especially since it's a road game for them, but then I thought the Bills game would stop them this year. With the injuries they've had I'm surprised they've made it this far, but then a lot of other teams can say that too.
