Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 615: Standard Scumbag
Josh McDaniels, the betrayer.

The New England Patriots' officially designated successor coach actually chose to transfer and will go to the Indianapolis Colts to work with Andrew Luck. This piece of news completely shocked the Fox Castle.

But soon, news came out one after another to reveal the behind-the-scenes:

As early as two years ago, Belichick told McDaniels that he was ready to retire and McDaniels would take over the responsibilities of the team's head coach. He asked McDaniels to be ready and take office.

however.

A year has passed.

Another year has passed.

Belichick is still the head coach, and McDaniels is still working tirelessly to assist Belichick as the offensive coordinator.

This year, McDaniels thought he had finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel, but he didn't expect that Patricia would choose to leave again. Belichick was busy trying to control the overall situation and stabilize the morale of the team, and there was still no sign of retirement, which made McDaniels fall into despair.

So when the Indianapolis Colts extended an olive branch, McDaniels chose to seize the opportunity and finally made up his mind.

After three interviews, tough negotiations between the agent and the Indianapolis Colts, and a lot of twists and turns, the deal was finally finalized.

The Indianapolis Colts officially announced that McDaniels will become the team's new head coach.

For the fans, it was a disaster and a complete betrayal; but from McDaniels' perspective, he had to consider it for himself.

At this point, it was just a loss for the New England Patriots. The difficulties Belichick was about to face were just his concerns, and other teams didn't care; but the subsequent developments were really surprising.

After the Indianapolis Colts' official announcement, Belichick seemed to finally realize that he had let McDaniels down. He found McDaniels like a scumbag trying to win back his ex-girlfriend, had a long talk with him, and promised that he would hand over the New England Patriots to McDaniels next season and that the future of the team would belong to McDaniels.

McDaniels was… shaken.

His agent, his family and friends, and countless professionals in the league persuaded McDaniels:
Stay calm and don't get carried away.

Belichick's promise is not credible, otherwise he would not have snubbed McDaniels time and time again. The lies he tells year after year are just like a drunkard's words "just have a drink", which have no credibility at all.

More importantly, McDaniels has already reached an agreement with the Indianapolis Colts, and the other party has officially announced it, so there is no reason to go back on his word.

Rumor has it that McDaniels finally made up his mind to leave, but Belichick visited again, the two had a long talk, and then -

McDaniels chose to stay.

The entire league was in uproar.

First of all, McDaniels gave the Indianapolis Colts a slap in the face by breaking the verbal agreement.

Secondly, McDaniels left the entire league with an impression of indecision and hesitation. Can such a character really be competent as a head coach? Rather than saying that Belichick hopes McDaniels will inherit his mantle, it is better to say that Belichick needs a puppet.

Third, will the New England Patriots' owners like McDaniels?
However, despite the shock, McDaniels stayed.

Then, McDaniels' long-time agent angrily announced the end of their partnership.

In an age when news of players firing their agents is everywhere, this is something new.

A series of disturbances made the New England Patriots' offseason particularly noisy, and left countless scars and suspicions, and it was also turbulent when entering the spring training camp.

It is worth mentioning that Belichick did not hire another defensive coordinator, but took charge of the defense himself. The head coach also served as the defensive coordinator. This team bears Belichick's imprint from top to bottom, inside and out.

Just like that, the new season begins——

Week 2, a loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

In Week 3, they lost to the Detroit Lions led by Patricia. It was more than just two consecutive losses.

This is the first time since 2002 that the New England Patriots have lost two consecutive games by double digits, and their competitive state is very bad.

A double-digit score difference means at least two ball possessions or even more. The defense team failed to limit the opponent and the offense team failed to score. The overall downturn on both offense and defense made it impossible for the team to cheer up.

chaos!
a mess.

In response, New England Patriots fans blamed the Kansas City Chiefs for the mistake.

It all started with that divisional game.

After all, McDaniels finally returned to Foxburg after many twists and turns, and Belichick and Brady are highly respected and cannot be criticized at will. There is no better choice than to use the Kansas City Chiefs as a punching bag.

then.

Whether it is "Levi vs. Brady" on the individual level or "Kansas City Chiefs vs. New England Patriots" on the team level, all are brewing storms and turning into fuel for the tension between the two teams.

Wait, the New England Patriots are in good shape?

The answer is yes.

Never underestimate the combination of Belichick and Brady.

In fact, despite consecutive losses to the Jacksonville Jaguars and Detroit Lions, the New England Patriots remain undefeated at home this season.

Week 1, beat the Houston Texans.

Week 4, beat the Miami Dolphins.

Week 5, beat the Indianapolis Colts.

At home, we won all three games.

Moreover, after suffering big losses in Weeks 2 and 3, the New England Patriots took advantage of their rich experience to quickly make adjustments, and McDaniels also proved his ability.

In the fourth and fifth weeks, the team scored 38 points in two consecutive games. The offensive group fully recovered and returned to the winning track.

There is no doubt that the New England Patriots have proved that their dynasty is not over. Despite the turmoil and chaos, they are still the favorites to win the championship, and they cannot be excluded from the Super Bowl this season.

This time, the New England Patriots once again host the Kansas City Chiefs. They not only hope to continue their unbeaten streak at home this season, but also hope to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs to achieve sweet revenge for last season's two-game losing streak.

From all aspects, this is likely to be a major offensive battle.

The combination of Mahomes and Levi will soon face the combination of McDaniels and Brady.

The war is about to break out.

Moreover, the two teams aiming for the championship did not disappoint expectations.

From the first offensive play of the game, both teams were already firing on all cylinders. The familiar scene made the fans feel as if they were back to the Super Bowl at the beginning of the year. The fierce and intense offensive battle was dazzling.

"24:24".

At the end of the first half, no one was able to gain the upper hand and the two teams returned to the locker room for halftime break. The suspense of the outcome would have to wait until the second half to be revealed.
