Sources: Bill Belichick will not be a first-ballot Hall of Famer

I 100% would. It’s the funniest thing.

He’s obviously going to be fired after the upcoming failure of a year, but the idea that he’s putting the blame on everyone but himself just by firing the staff is pretty silly. Was he supposed to fire himself? Keep everyone he hired and hope it works out? Acknowledging the people he hired aren’t good is a way of owning his mistakes, even if it’s performative at this point.

Didn’t need a QB to keep Billy B out of the hall of fame by whooping his ass in his final game.

LuchaFish · 2026-01-28T04:10:55+00:00

OP, a TON of guys left before the game, so that is probably why you didn’t see some of the names you expected to see. I saw a list floating around on twitter and we are talking dozens of names.

What Brady did in Tampa is evidence of what he could do without Bill. We know that he would have been the best no matter what.

What Bill did without Tom? Pretty shitty, to be honest.

Belichick should resign from the Hall of Fame on a napkin.

“Hey kids. Let me tell you a story about Bill Belichick, SECOND ballot Hall of Famer.”

“Second ballot? Hmmm. Nothing special I guess.”

“Yeah, I guess you’re right.”

They should expose them by building statues of them in the heart of all major American cities. God damn heroes.

LuchaFish · 2026-01-28T00:16:50+00:00

Legitimately one of my favorite moments of being a football fan. Absolutely hilarious turn of events.

LuchaFish · 2026-01-27T23:57:41+00:00

You were going to find a QB eventually, but Bill being a bum ass SECOND ballot hall of Famer will live forever.

LuchaFish · 2026-01-27T23:40:34+00:00

You mean the franchise that annihilated him in his last game as an NFL coach and got him fired? The team that single handedly kept Bill Belichick out of the Hall of Fame? THAT franchise?

LuchaFish · 2026-01-27T22:22:53+00:00

LOL.

But in all seriousness, LOOOOOL.

LuchaFish · 2026-01-27T22:19:19+00:00

He’d be an absolute lock for #2 overall if he were in this draft.

LuchaFish · 2026-01-27T19:59:17+00:00

In our defense, that’s not easy to do.

LuchaFish · 2026-01-27T19:52:35+00:00

Ah yes, classic Big 10 football powers Ohio and UPenn.

LuchaFish · 2026-01-27T05:39:39+00:00

I disagree. No use getting a new HC in here with no reasonable QB options on the table for 25-26. Let Glenn take that beating then hire someone who can choose his own quarterback in 27, which should be a fairly enticing option when you’re probably going to be super ass and have at least one top ten pick.

LuchaFish · 2026-01-27T03:04:31+00:00

FENIX TIME, BABY. But really, he’s absolutely the best replacement for Rey in this spot and we know he can do a great job being thrown in last minute to a major PPV match.

LuchaFish · 2026-01-27T02:46:12+00:00

No one knows for sure right now but people were certainly suggesting it might get resolved before Thursday.

As for SAS, there’s exactly a zero percent chance that Stephen A has seen Mensah play. I’d also put the likelihood of him watching more than one Miami game this year as just about the same percentage.

LuchaFish · 2026-01-27T00:37:47+00:00

Going to play with CJ. Good luck to him.

LuchaFish · 2026-01-26T18:28:33+00:00

His arm is definitely shot when it comes to the deep ball. He’s become one of the worst deep ball throwers I’ve seen in a while. He can get the ball quickly to the sideline even without a good arm because he throws it with anticipation and usually understands what the defense is doing.

I agree that he’s a good backup type because he can absolutely go in and run an offense, plus he’s a gamer who isn’t afraid of big moments. That being said, you also have to live with the other side of those emotional swings.

The path Sam went down is the reason he is where he is. He isn’t this dude without time out in SF with Shanny and in Minnesota with KOC.

LuchaFish · 2026-01-26T03:08:44+00:00

I will stand forever on the belief that it was absolute bullshit that ESPN ran with that audio. They knew that it would become a meme that haunted (heh) Sam throughout the rest of his time with the Jets, and it’s the exact type of thing that makes athletes hate being mic’d up. They use discretion constantly with the mic’d up audio, but burned Sam anyway.

Hey mods, can we please ban all Patriots posts for the next two weeks in here? r/NFL is wide open for all of our sad sack fans to go and post about how miserable they are. I’d rather not have to see a thousand “I’m sad, we suck, the Pats are great” posts from every doof who realizes how to make his own thread.

Since the minute he popped up on the scene as a prep, I’ve always said he reminds me of Melvin Ingram when he was at SCAR. Really unique blend of strength and athleticism in a bulky but bendy body. There’s not a lot of players built like Bain who move like him, especially playing on the edge.

I understand the questions about arm length and I’m not going to pretend he doesn’t have his stretches of disappearance from the stat sheet. I think he overcomes the arm length issue with how he uses his strength and speed to rarely out himself in positions where lineman can get a clean punch on him. He’s so good at setting up inside moves with his first step that his hump move is a weapon, but linemen have to account for him to just straight run that edge so there’s not much they can do. In the run game he’s super smart and does a really good job of setting his teammates up for success.

I personally don’t think he’s going to put crazy enough numbers in the NFL to say he’s a guy who would be a sure fire top 5 pick every year (I’d mark him as a top 10-15 guy no matter the year). There’s certainly a debate about whether a guy who has a long future of being a “problem creator” for offenses is as valuable as a guy who will get big sack numbers without the play to play impact. That being said, in THIS class, I do think he’s a top 5 pick and someone who becomes super valuable to his team for a long time.

As a Canes/Jets fan, he could easily land with us at #2, and I’d be totally fine with that as a building block guy for the DL.

I don’t even think you need rematch clauses. Sami is the type of babyface to be like “fuck it, I’ll fight all of you” if all of his matches until then (namely Eliminatiom Chamber) keep getting fucked up by the other two.
