Bill Belichick Will Resurface As Los Angeles Charger Head Coach

An NFL icon gone and the New England Patriots have parted ways. He will resurface… and this move will prompt more dismissals. He is going after Don Shula’s record and a team that needs a coach to take them over the top will be the play. Belichick will be the new Chargers Coach… mark my words.
The Chargers and Spanos are too cheap to land Harbaugh and this is the guy who can make the Chargers defense immediately improve. Then provide the situational football they lacked under “Madden Coach” Staley.
How many times did Staley and the Chargers botch situations over the last two years which cost him his job?
Bill Belichick will be the Chargers Head Coach. He has the defensive pedigree to get Mack, Bosa and that defense together. His offense would now have a quarterback. He hasn’t had one since Tom Brady left and his defenses took a step back to compensate for an anemic offense. In ’19, which was Brady’s final season, Belichick’s defense ranked #1 allowing just 275.8 yds per game. They possessed the football controlling the clock with a short passing game. The next four years?
  • 2020 – 15th allowing 353.75 yds per game
  • 2021 – 4th allowing 310.82 yds per game
  • 2022 – 8th allowing 322 yds per game
  • 2023 – 7th allowing 301.59 yds per game

In 2020 he had to adjust to a team that was lost on offense and couldnt transition with a shot Cam Newton at quarterback. Further adjustments and he had a top ten defense every year. He did it with an offense with marginal NFL talent. Now lets take a look at the Chargers defense:

  • 2020 – 10th allowing 343.4 yds per game
  • 2021 – 23rd allowing 360.1 yds per game
  • 2022 – 20th allowing 346.1 yds per game
  • 2023 – 28th allowing 362.9 yds per game

Now quickly name the top defensive players from both these teams. If you didnt start with Khalil Mack, Joey Bosa, and Derwin James you’re lying to yourself. Belichick with this defensive talent would run laps around the AFC West that wouldn’t know what hit them.

Did you know in the last 4 years Belichick fielded 3 top ten defenses with 4 total Pro Bowl defenders? OLB Matt Judon twice, Stephon Gilmore & KC Jackson once each. The Chargers had 6 even with Bosa, Mack and James missing a few due to injury,

Belichick is a REAL defensive wizard and not one of these Coach by crayons- just call cover 2 or 3 and double A gap blitz Nickle defense. He dates back to Super Bowl XXV and how to slow a passing attack on the biggest stage. Has employed “Ameoba defenses” like Fritz Shurmer’s Eagle Defense he stood across in the 89 playoffs. Don’t forget he coached with Fritz in Detroit… yet I digress

When you look at the yardage disparity between what the Patriots & Chargers were allowing are where NFL games are won & lost. That 30-40 yard difference are the 3 scoring drives that could have been kept alive but you had to punt on 4th and 3 4 times in a game. Or couldn’t get your opponent to punt 4 more times to disrupt their offense. Situational football… the expertise Belichick brings. Coaching and teaching why certain jobs have to be done.

What would Belichick be able to do with teaching situational football with an offense of Justin Herbert, Austin Eckler, & Keenan Allen?? Did you forget Belchick coached the 2007 Patriots to an NFL record 589 points and a 16-0 regular season?

This is your coach…

2018 AFC Predictions

It seems that we have been predicting the demise of the New England Patriots unsuccessfully for the last 7 years. This season the Patriots will miss this player or this player. Yet here we are again with the 2 time defending AFC Champions ready to battle off conference contenders who appeared to have closed the gap.

Yet here we are with a great number of marquee players returning from serious injury. How quickly can DeShaun Watson, Andrew Luck, and JJ Watt return to form?? Can the Steelers offense find a rhythm once they get LeVeon Bell to report to the team??

There is this team out in Los Angeles no one wants. Not only do they return with the NFL’s 4th ranked offense featuring Melvin Gordon (1,105 yds 8 TDs rushing / 58 rec. 476 yds 4 TDs) & Phillip Rivers (4,515 yds 28 TDs and only 10 ints) on a team that went 9-3 to finish the season.  It took the Chargers 4 weeks to get used to Coach Anthony Lynn’s staff and a new home as they started 0-4.

2018 AFC Predictions:

AFC Wast Champs: LA Chargers 12-4*

AFC East Champs: New England Patriots 11-5

AFC North Champs: Pittsburgh Steelers 10-6

AFC South Champs: Houston Texans 9-7

Wild Card: New York Jets 10-6

Wild Card: Kansas City Chiefs 9-7

AFC Champions: LA Chargers

Yes the city of Los Angeles will have a team in Super Bowl LIII but not the team that everyone is anointing.

The Chargers best pass rush since the mid 80’s.

Keep in mind the Chargers defense was middle of the road ranked 15th and should improve as Joey Bosa returns from a foot injury. However a closer look shows this team gave up 319 yards per game in the last 8 games. Good enough to make the top ten. Fellow DE Melvin Engram III came on with 10.5 sacks to combine with Bosa’s 12.5 which anchored the NFL’s 3rd ranked defense against the pass. This team is ready to make a move.

A lot of pundits want to anoint Andrew Luck as back however The Chancellor sees nothing but rust, rust, rust. He hasn’t played football in over 600 days and Colts fans will wince everytime he hits the ground. Keep in mind he has 4 games against Sacksonville (55 sacks) and Tennessee (43 sacks) which finished in the top 5 in QB take downs. Oh…and 3 time NFL Defensive Player of the year JJ Watt also returns. Sorry Calvin Ladd the Colts will be losing a lot of games. Did you just see that Redzone interception??

Can Forunette stay healthy this season? Has a tendency to get nicked up.

The AFC South will have 3 even teams beating up on each other as no one will take command until the final week. The Titans and Jaguars play several close to the vest affairs. One bounce of the ball one way or the other spells win or loss in at least 6 of their games. Its going to come down to which QB can make plays beyond the X’s and O’s and DeShaun Watson edges Marcus Mariota and Blake Bortles in that regard.

The Steelers and Patriots rule the AFC North and East respectively largely on Hall of Fame QBs. The underappreciated Ben Roethlisberger (4,251 yds 28TDs 14 ints) will have to keep the offense going in Bell’s absence. Pittsburgh is still the class of their division although this could be the last year on that perch. This situation with LeVeon Bell will linger all season. The back and forth between Pro Bowl C Maurkice Pouncey could prove disruptive to team chemistry once Bell joins the team.

This is how The Chancellor of Football’s crystal ball shapes up for 2018. It will be the L.A. Chargers traveling to Atlanta to play for this trophy:
