batman10023 Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Let's assume it's not "win and lots of help" playoff scenario for us. The Pats and Cardinals continue losing. Does Bellicheat tank the game to get the second overall pick? or does he stick it to the Jets at the expense of draft position. I would think it's a really good game for us to see what our youngsters and practice squad players can do - with an eye on the future. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post slimjasi Posted December 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2023 Why would Belichick of all people (a guy who is famous for playing his starters in meaningless games and trying to win preseason games) tank for the next coach's benefit? And against the Jets of all teams? 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warfish Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 On the contrary, if there is even a whiff of truth to his unwillingly leaving NE, he seems like this kinda guy who'd rather crush us, and screw the Pats, on his way out. End of the day, the Jets can only control what the Jets do. The rest will be what it will be. Anxiety about the Pats getting one of the top QB's in a bit early IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman10023 Posted December 14, 2023 Author Share Posted December 14, 2023 i think if he's definitely gone then he tries to beat us. if he's sticking around, then maybe he tanks. i think he's leaving for somewhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for nothing but there is reason to believe the patsies could finish with a better record than the jets. The bellichicken will not go out losing to the jets if he can avoid it.

JohnnyLV Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I swear some of the people on this board had no sense of competition. Someone like Belichick would never knowingly tank. He is too compeititive. Its what drives him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 If he beat the jets for that 2 day happiness of screwing the jets he would be just like the jets., a 3 day morale victory that looks like a disaster on draft day. In any case this faint playoff hope for the Jets is such a monumenta reach it will probably be over after this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why in the world would he 'tank' for a top QB when he very well may not be on the Patriots next year. Regardless, he is NOT losing to the Jets on purpose.

bonkertons Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Belichick wouldn't tank no matter what. If we lose this weekend, it's over and I'm hoping for L's. If we win, then there's a real chance of us winning out. Rodgers back and going up against the awful Commanders, Flacco and the Browns, and the awful Patriots. I'm hoping for a win this weekend, but if we don't, we need to embrace the tank and ensure we pick high enough for one of Alt, Fashanu, Bowers or Nabers. Top-3 is out of the question at this point.

greenwichjetfan Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 He's going to the Chargers after that game. He's going to do everything he can to humiliate the Jets and screw the pats out of a top pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FootballLove Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I can't see Bellicheck taking the loss to help out the team that's kicking him to the curb. I can actually see Belichick wanting to stick it to the Pats more than to the Jets. Whichever outcome hurts the Pats the most, is the path he will follow. For this reason, Belli will do all he can to beat the Jets, sticking it to the Pats, the team he hates the most, all the while sticking it to the Jets, the team he now hates second most, with another humiliating loss to end the season. Beating the Jets is a win-win for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rex-n-effect Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I don't see him tanking games under any circumstances. If he's not already slated to go, tanking a game is probably the thing that pushes Kraft over the edge to take him out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeNamathsFurCoat Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 The Jets on paper should destroy Zappe and BB. But BB lives in ZW's head somehow like he lived in Darnold's. It's freaking bizarre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won’t matter if game means something, because jets will play rodgers. And beat them. We know Zach’s horrible history vs pats, bellichick history of taking advantage of young confused qbs.

jetswin Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 It would be poetic justice to humiliate Belidweeb and the Pats and launch him to wherever no matter the circumstances of the draft or playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
