With all the talk of Tom Brady’s career coming to a close in the not so distant future, I think the Patriots fanbase may have our collective head in the sand about the longevity of our mastermind head coach. What are your thoughts on how much longer Darth Hoodie will grace us with his infinite football wisdom?

Belichick will be 63 this April 16th (which also happens to be my birthday btw). I’ve always felt like he’ll stay on a few years after Brady is done. He’s spoken in the past about the admiration he has for San Francisco keeping their dynasty going through a second quarterback and something tells me he’ll try to do the same. He’s shown no signs of slowing down or taking any less enjoyment out of the grind, so I’d bet we have at least five more years of BB, maybe as many as seven or eight. But he has said he doesn’t want to be like Marv Levy coaching into his 70s, we’ll see if that holds true.

It Is What It Is » Patriots’ improvement on third down helped pave way to Super Bowl title

If there’s one point I feel like I’m constantly hitting on, it’s the importance of third down on both sides of the ball. Defensively the Pats have struggled in recent years to get off the field, and even this year they were only 16th in the league. But that all changed in the playoffs when that rate dropped to 23.3%.

Offensively they were the best in the playoffs as well, with the two notable fourth quarter conversions to Edelman that basically saved the game.
