I think he's always trying to push to the exact line before it's "cheating". Sometimes his measure of where that line is has been wrong and he's been punished for it. Even with the punishments, if I was starting an "all time" franchise, he'd be the coach of the team and maybe the only position on the whole team that was a 100% lock.

The ball was originally ruled a fumble and the referees reviewed the play and overturned it. Belichick had nothing to do with it. Do you think that he somehow coached Brady to be hit at that moment in the middle of snowstorm just to dash the hopes of the Raiders? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDC 5,803 Posted September 11, 2019 The tuck rule fiasco wasn’t cheating. It just looks bad in light of the 2-3 other Super Bowls the Pats shouldn’t have won because they were cheating. Really they should have 2 rings tops. The fans know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was this event......the tuck rule event.....which the officials screwed up......over which Bellicheat had neither control nor active participation....that caught his attention and inspired his imagination....he looked at the situation and immediate understood that moving forward he could manipulate situations to either flout the rules or skirt them.... He did not cause the tuck rule stupidity, he did not contribute to it, he not create it....he did not make it happen.....he simply saw it and said "holt sh!t, I bet I could make this sh!t work for me" and then he did so thereafter....the tuck rule vent was proof that cheating was possible....
