Belichick singing Flacco's Praises.

"They've won a lot of games, and I think that’s the big thing. A quarterback has to do what his team needs him to do to win, and Joe has done that. I don’t know how to improve much on 11-5 and 12-4, and they just keep doing it. He's been a solid guy since his rookie year in terms of managing the game and using the clock and making good decisions and those types of things. He's been able to throw the ball obviously to his backs, to his tight ends and down the field to whether it’s [Torrey] Smith or [Lee] Evans or [Anquan] Boldin or whoever it happens to be. I think he can make all the throws that you need a quarterback to make. He can run the team and manage it well. He can make checks and decisions that the offense needs to have a good flow and take advantage of defensive alignment. I think he's certainly over four years improved in all those areas incrementally, but he did them at a pretty high level to begin with and he continues to do that."

Cant say i disagree.

No one has ever accused the Hoodie of being stupid.

He is talking about Ed Reed like Reed is his only son. WTH?

**Galen Sevinne** · 01-18-2012, 10:33 PM

Just "doing his time" with the media, side-stepping any controversy and spending his time planning on how to beat the Ravens. Its really not that hard to do....side-stepping the media that is.

His shrewd demeanor and horrible sense of fashion belie the clarity of his wisdom.

They always talk up their opponents.

Always.

That said, I agree with him 100%. :)

Belicheck basically got John Harbaugh his job through his Ozzie connection.....both teams are fortunate to be in the AFC Championship. Now lets see who wants it more. For guys like Redding, Reed, and Birk this may be there last chance for a ring...

**Irish Raven** · 01-18-2012, 11:17 PM

His own brand of coachspeak, there's nothing realy to see here

Belichick does this before every game

He talked up the Colts before Week 13

Give a few quotes to the media so they are satisfied and then gets on with the work

I'll always remember him telling Harbaugh, "If it's not us then I hope it's you," after the 2009 play-off game. Despite his gruff demeanor, he knows his football and is a straight shooter. I've got nothing against BB.

Typical Bellicheat BS.

He said Tebow was the best QB in the game before he
played them.

He is always nice til game time. That's why we call him
Bellicheat.

See if you can find the "A Football Life" segments about Belicheck on nfl.com. He spends a good deal of time with Brady talking about Ed. It is very clear that he likes him as a football player and respects what he can do on the field.

Speaking of Bellicheat getting HARBs his job, I read where Bisciotti called him about HARBs being an out of the box hire, ie, no coord experience - an uncommon and risky move on Biscuit's part.

Bellicheat said HARBs will do just fine.

I HAVE BEEN HIRING PEOPLE FOR 25 YEARS AND IT
HAS WORKED OUT PRETTY WELL FOR ME.
