Belichick Accused of Making Ted Johnson Play With Concussion

I know really. Give a coach Mark Rypien, or Timmy Smith and let's see if that guy can win anything....oh wait.

I didn't suggest that you should "take away" Brady, Seymour, Wilfork, Bruschi, Vrabel, and all of the Pats' stars and see how good Belichick would look. I suggested that Belichick might not look nearly as good without Brady.

One of the principal reasons why Joe Gibbs is special, at least in my mind, is that he won the Super Bowl 3 times with 3 different QBs. That accomplishment should not be underestimated. I highly doubt Belichick could have won 3 super bowls without Brady.

And 3 different RBs and 3 different kickers and I think 3 different punters as well.

At least he didn't make him play with a cussion.

Yes I agree that what gibbs did was tough but he also had a line which made the QB look better.

i could see belichek doing that. whether or not he did it, he has still shown his true colors this season, most apparent with the deal with mangini. the guys an ass

Not only did Belichick act like an ass at midfield with Mangini, he also made less than glowing remarks about him the press implying that Mangini was not necessarily fit to be a head coach. We're now seeing what reporters in the Boston area have known for quite some time - Belichick is an royal a-hole.

The Patriots haven't had a good line? I know they're not the Hogs, but they've been no pushovers either.

At this point, rumor, innuendo, and hearsay does not equal fact

No kidding. I love the lynch mob mentality: Johnson said it, therefore it is a fact.

I'm not saying the guy doesn't have a gripe, but let's wake up: coaches pushing players to come back too soon from injuries (of all sorts) has been a problem since guys were drawing paychecks from teams like the Providence Steamroller and the Rock Island Independents.

I think people tend to look for a reason to hate Belichick because the Patriots have been the league's most consistant winner in an era where most teams are up and down like yo-yo's. Right now, he's the villian du jour. I'd just as soon wait until all the facts are on the table.

What, I loved the Rock Island Independents! But seriously, this whole thing is just another example of society and media manipulation.

After the kickoff to the Super Bowl this will be all forgotten and next year stupid Boomer and all of the other Belichek worshippers will continue their worship of him.
