Without Brady emerging , had Belichick been stuck with Bledsoe after that terrible contract handed out in 2000, I believe, he’s likely gone by 2002 or 2003.
I don’t think his style is plug and play with every team. It was just the right situation with QB to make everyone buy into it.
Probably the most satisfying ass whooping I’ve seen in a while. Eagles were very smug and happy to see them humbled.
