I admit I shouldn't be shocked that the New England Patriots won another

Super Bowl Sunday night Youth Artie Burns Jersey , and are now tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers for most in NFL history at six apiece. In my head I thought the Los Angeles Rams were well equipped to neutralize the Patriots and hand the Patriots another Super Bowl loss. However in my heart I somehow knew you can never bet against the coaching genius of Bill Belichick. Even when the Patriots have actually been defeated in the Super Bowl, I have been surprised each time. The New York Giants seemingly have the Patriots number for some odd reason, maybe because Belichick was an assistant coach there for so many years before becoming a head coach. It may just be a case of some bad juju.Last season Belichick's coaching acumen was effectively neutralized by a equally outstanding performance by Eagles HC Doug Pedersen and an inspired performance from QB Nick Foles. Their individual performances were unexpected and seemed to catch the always prepared Belichick off guard a little, resulting in a high scoring Eagle's victory.This years Super Bowl opponent, the Los Angeles Rams, were anything but unpredictable. The Rams had lit up the league behind Pro Bowl QB Goff and RB Todd Gurley, with young offensive mastermind HC Sean McVay pulling the strings behind the scenes. The Rams were incredibly efficient during the regular season running the ball which allowed them to be the best play action offense in the league.McVay was able to muster a myriad of offensive creativity off of about three or four set formations. Goff was the calm, cool maestro at the front of Mcvay's orchestra and it appeared they were preparing to take the title of best HC/QB combo. However, someone interrupted their journey to the podium to make their acceptance speech. His name was Bill Belichick.Last night's game was one of the best defensive coaching clinics in Super Bowl history. If Sean McVay is a offensive mastermind then he met his superior defensive counterpart in Belichick last night. The Rams were totally outclassed and out coached from the start. It was truly shocking to see. The Rams probably still are not sure exactly what hit them. They came into the game confident in their ability to put points on the scoreboard, but it was an unbelievable struggle for them to even achieve a first down. Their extreme confidence in their offensive abilities may have just been their undoing.The Rams basically went with the same offensive game plan they had utilized all season, and why wouldn't they, when it had proven so successful. Because they were going up against a Bill Belichick defense that had two full weeks to prepare for them. It was no contest really. Belichick was a great defensive coordinator before he ever became a great HC. He always has a strong OC who he instructs to stick to the basics, kinda along the lines of keep it simple stupid. If the opposition struggles to stop something, like a back out in the flat or Gronkowski up the seam, keep calling it. If they make personnel changes to stop it http://www.steelerscheapauthenticstore.com/jesse-james-jersey-cheap , adjust accordingly. Sounds simple I know, but surprisingly it isn't. Many teams, such as the Steelers, struggle with in game adjustments. Tom Brady and the offense is fundamentally efficient and always check their egos at the door.Belichick's superiority is most evident on the defensive side of the ball. His game plan against the Rams was breathtaking in its effectiveness and its execution. He took up residence in Goff's head early in the game and never left. He flummoxed McVay so badly that the Rams HC looked lost throughout the game and had the appearance of a whipped pup by the conclusion of the game.What makes the performance even more unbelievable is the fact the Patriots defense hadn't looked like that all season. Taking into account the stage and the circumstances, that was the best defensive performance during Belichick's Patriots career. The Patriots defense is not a collection of Pro Bowl level talent, instead they are a well coached group of fundamentally intelligent individuals who form a cohesive unit on the field. They seldom make self inflicted errors or appear to not all be on the same page pre snap. While it is maddening how often calls throughout the year always seem to go in their favor, it is also true they commit a portion of their practice time specifically toward understanding the rules and how to prevent unnecessary penalties. Sometimes you make your own luck through preparation and discipline. A byproduct of superior coaching.Now alot of teams will be faced with a dilemma moving forward. The NFL is a copycat league and many franchises are searching for the next Mike Tomlin, John Harbaugh, or Sean McVay. The next young HC who can grow and mature with a franchise in pursuit of a championship. But the sustained excellence of Bill Belichick and the Patriots may just cause some franchises to rethink how they handle their business.On most NFL teams at the moment, the HC will be shown the door long before a superstar player. The players make the big bucks and oftentimes appear harder to replace. The HC will be blamed for an underachieving squad and it will be assumed the team is no longer buying into the message the coach is selling. The Patriots success doesn't fit this rational. The difference with the Patriots is Belichick keeps the same message, and that message is winning is the only acceptable goal. However, he changes the cast of characters quite often. Many are not around long enough to grow weary of his message and he keeps his core group of dependable performers around to maintain discipline and balance.I wonder how long it will be before teams try to mimic the Patriots formula for success? The main problem I see is trying to find the next Belichick. Like Lombardi, Noll, and Walsh before him there is only one. The Pittsburgh Steelers have won four straight games and continue to “stack wins.” After their 23-16 win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 9, the team has to move on quickly as they prepare to face the Carolina Panthers at Heinz Field on Thursday Night Football in Week 10. Today we talk about how Matt Feiler Cheap Le'Veon Bell Jersey , a man many projected to be cut by the Steelers before the season, has become this year’s Chris Hubbard. Feiler has stepped in for injured Marcus Gilbert the past two games and the offense hasn’t missed a beat. Feiler has stepped up big time in pass protection and has helped pave the way for James Conner to run wild. Some will say Feiler’s success falls on the broad shoulders of Mike Munchak. I’d agree, and Feiler is just the latest project-turned-starter for ‘Magic’ Mike Munchak.Let’s get to the news:Mike Munchak continues to work his magic with Steelers offensive lineBy: Chris Adamski, Pittsburgh Tribune-ReviewMaurkice Pouncey is one of the most gregarious and well-liked individuals in the Pittsburgh Steelers locker room. But that doesn’t mean, by his own admission, he doesn’t have some stubbornness.So when Mike Munchak arrived as Pouncey’s third position coach over his four-plus seasons in the NFL, Pouncey acknowledged, at first, he was skeptical. Then, when Munchak began instructing new techniques the Steelers largely veteran offensive line hadn’t employed, well鈥?#8220;Heck yeah, at first, a little bit. You are so used to doing the things you like,” Pouncey said. “But it didn’t take long before you began to see the difference that he could make, that he would make.”And he continues to make.Munchak presides over an offensive line that some are saying might be the best in the league http://www.steelerscheapauthenticstore.com/jordan-berry-jersey-cheap , one that serves as the engine for an offense that ranks fourth in the league in yards and fifth in points heading into Sunday’s game at Baltimore. Only one team has allowed fewer sacks than the Steelers (seven through seven games). According to Pro Football Focus, a lineman has been beaten to allow Ben Roethlisberger to be hit just four times.Oh, and the Steelers boast the AFC’s leading rusher, too.It all reflects well on the team’s offensive linemen, all of whom, in turn, are willing to deflect credit to the offensive line coach.“With his ability to connect with guys and the reputation he has and the respect he commands,” tackle Marcus Gilbert said, “he’s a big reason why we are who we are.”No matter who it’s coached by, the Steelers offensive line has a combination of talent and experience matched by few teams in the NFL. The five starters combine for 38 pro seasons and more than $31 million in salary cap space (sixth-most of any team). The group has combined for 10 Pro Bowl berths and seven first- or second-team All Pro honors.But that doesn’t explain the lineage of low-pedigree linemen Munchak has molded into starters: seventh-round pick Kelvin Beachum (who earned a $24 million contract with the Jets), undrafted Chris Hubbard ($36.5 million contract with the Browns), undrafted B.J. Finney (started nine games at three positions the past three seasons) and now undrafted Matt Feiler (making his fourth start over the past nine Steelers regular-season games Sunday).“You listen to ‘Munch’ because you know he’s been in our shoes,” Feiler said, “so he definitely knows what he’s talking about.”Munchak was a nine-time Pro Bowl tackle who 10 times was name first- or second-team All Pro by the AP. He was on the NFL’s 1980s all-decade team and in 2001 was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.Center Pouncey and right guard David DeCastro perhaps also have Hall of Fame ceilings, and Munchak has refined the skills of those two and fellow established veterans Gilbert Cheap T. J. Watt Jersey , guard Ramon Foster and tackle Alejandro Villanueva. But what has made Munchak equally as valuable to the Steelers is his work to develop the likes of Finney, Feiler and rookie third-round pick Chuks Okorafor.“Coming into this league, your mind is kind of everywhere,” Okorafor said, “so it’s so nice knowing you have such a respected coach that can get you from (sticking his hand out, palm down, at thigh level) ‘Level A’ to (moving the hand up to eye level) to (Pro-Bowl) level.“Having him, it gives you hope that if you listen to him, you’ll get there.”Said young offensive tackle Jerald Hawkins: “The stuff he teaches you, I sometimes sit and think, ‘If I would have had Munch all this time, I’d be 10 times better than I already am by now.’”Joe Haden helps Steelers put ‘lid’ on Ravens WR John BrownBy: Joe Rutter, Pittsburgh Tribune-ReviewThis time, the Pittsburgh Steelers had the antidote for Baltimore Ravens speedy wide receiver John Brown.It came in the form of veteran shutdown cornerback Joe Haden, who excelled in the Steelers’ 23-16 victory Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium.Haden was tasked with shadowing Brown http://www.steelerscheapauthenticstore.com/chris-boswell-jersey-cheap , who had a 71-yard reception and a 33-yard touchdown catch in the Ravens’ 26-14 victory against the Steelers on Sept. 30.Brown caught three passes for 17 yards and was a non-factor in the rematch. That was a departure from the first meeting when his three receptions totaled 116 yards.“Nothing really changed,” linebacker Vince Williams said about the Steelers defensive strategy. “We had to keep a lid on John Brown.”The lid rarely was opened.“They basically took me out of the game plan,” Brown said. “That’s just something we have to figure out and get right.”The secondary was led by Haden, who also had four tackles. Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco had 209 yards passing after lighting up the Steelers for 363 yards in the first game.“We made sure they didn’t catch balls on the outside,” Haden said. “We tried to keep Brown in the box and not let him get over the top like he did last time. We paid a lot of attention to him. Those were some of the things to make sure they didn’t get big plays.”Flacco took the field Sunday without the benefit of his starting tackles, James Hurst and Ronnie Stanley. Rookie Orlando Brown Jr. and second-year player Jermaine Eluemunor.“When we did get into the seven-step, or even the five-step stuff, Joe was under duress,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said.Roethlisberger thanks Ravens for moment of silence for Tree of Life victimsBy: Joe Rutter, Pittsburgh Tribune-ReviewBen Roethlisberger stepped on the field at M&T Bank Stadium by remembering the victims of the Tree of Life synagogue shooting eight day earlier.The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback stepped off it and thanked the Baltimore Ravens for the show of support the organization provided Sunday.The Ravens held a moment of silence for the 11 victims of the tragedy. The team also posted a message of solidarity on its social media counts that read: “Baltimore stands with Pittsburgh.”“I thought it was a very class act by Baltimore with a moment of silence,” Roethlisberger said after the Steelers’ 23-16 victory. “Just because we’re a week or whatever removed doesn’t mean the pain is any less for a lot of people. I said to the guys just like last week, ‘We gave Pittsburghers, people that are in pain, three hours not necessarily to forget but to take your mind off of it. And I’m glad we could do that with a win here in Baltimore.” Wholesale NFL Jerseys
