Didn't you spend a bunch of time this week saying that the coaching didn't matter as much as the FACT that the Patriots defense didn't have the talent to stop the Falcons offense?
Kind of. I said what Belichick did was irrelevant ( and it was) but that doesn't mean a coaching blunder can't lose a team a game. It meant coaching wasn't going to win the game. There's a difference

So since you were 100% wrong in your "guarantee the Falcons score 30+" will you admit you were obnoxious all week?

Just a 100% walking contradiction.....

You've said so much you can't remember anymore....

He did a great job letting Brady rip his ass in the last 2 Super Bowls he's been in.

He could be the new Marv Levy....
Yes Quinn was the DC in one Super Bowl and HC in the other. Do you know how Marv Levy lost those Super Bowls. By the way I would love and be proud to be a HC that took my team to 4 straight Super Bowls.

It's not an opinion, it's fact. The Pats D cannot stop Atlanta's offense. They're simply not good enough. I'm going to enjoy laughing in two weeks when it all plays out. - rmilia

You know, you cast that lottery ticket out there but last night you had to scratch it off. It's in this pile somewhere.

Marv lost wide right first time out. Don't believe they were that close after that. Dallas ripped them for sure once and I think they even managed a loss to fucking Mark Rypien.....

I guess Ravens fans settle for less.....

I will say again, that "I would be very proud to be a HC like Marv Levy, that took my team to 4 straight Super Bowls."

That Redskins team was legit though. 1st in points scored and 2nd in points allowed. And Rypien was one of the best QBs in the league that year.

Well it's what happened. You put your,team in the best position to win. That's not what happened last night and NE capitalized on that because they got the best QB ever. A comeback like that takes extreme luck and participation from the other team. I can point to 4 or 5 specific play calls where if you change any one of them then Atlanta wins. That said that's not how it played out. Still took perfect explication from NE for them to win and that's how it went
Oh no the what if game. I can point to 4 or 5 plays had NE converted your vaulted offense only scores once.
Fair enough you win the what if bowl.

They took the foot off of the brakes, because the Pats D stopped the mighty offensive monster in the Falcons. That's it.

I'd rather win a few.
Fair enough, so would I, but for anyone to say that Marv Levy was overrated as a HC, just doesn't know all that much about football.

Do you think Bud Grant was overrated as a HC? He took the Vikings to 4 Super Bowls.

You putting words in my mouth? I saw both those guys in the CFL long before you saw them down there. Where they actually won something,

And I called Quinn overrated before you chimed in. Not Levy.

I merely said Quinn might be the new 4 time loser......

I thought you said in comment 2020, that Dan Quinn "He could be the new Marv Levy". Was I wrong or did I misunderstand you? If Dan Quinn turns out to be half the Head Coach that Marv Levy was, that would be great for Falcon fans. Just curious, but if Quinn takes his team to 4 Super Bowls (even if he loses all 4), how can he be overrated?
