There's something that needs to be answered today because it is something that cannot be fathomed by anyone anymore... Who is Bill Belichick? Is he a psychic? FBI agent? No matter what this man does, he wins. Give him a 12 year old soccer player and an undersized lineman and he can still win a football game.
It just doesn't make logical sense, let's hit the stat book first. They have won the division 13 out of the last 15 years, so that shows their dominance. They've won four super bowls since 2000 which is extremely impressive, but who do they have?! In all seriousness, take away Tom Brady and Gronk who has had his fair share of injuries. Danny Amendola? Julian Edelman? Chris Hogan?!?! These aren't any big time guys.. but year after year you hear about the Patriots winning the division, conference, championship. It's like everyone is used to it by now but it's time to question why.
Instance number two, 2014 Superbowl against the Seahawks. WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD PREDICT THAT THEY WOULD THROW THE BALL INSTEAD OF RUNNING IT? To answer that question, it's the freak of nature Bill Belichick. There is something about this man that we don't know about, I'm telling you. It's like he has the secret handbook that the coach has in the movie "Waterboy". There's something going on here.
Let's get hypothetical here. Put an above average quarterback on the Patriots like Joe Flacco: great quarterback, great arm and great on the field leader. Do they win year after year? Do they dominate the AFC? Is Flacco and Gronk as good of a duo as Brady and Gronk? Or how about this: Let's put Bill Belichick as the Jets head coach. What happens? The Jets have an above average defense with a decent offense, so what would happen?
To conclude this mystery I'd like to think about potential possibilities of coach Belechick.
1. He's a man from the future that knows what is about to come.
2. He has a sixth sense.
3. He is the best coach in NFL history.
