[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 686653"] Now, the above comments do not diminish the record of the Lombardi Packers. 5 Championships in 7 years was a supreme accomplishment. During that period, any loss was a shock. You never had the sense that anybody beat the Packers, only that they beat themselves in any given loss. 1967 would have been the exception to the "how could they lose? perception, where the talent level and age was not quite up to the previous dominant teams. It was Lombardi's finest season. What this does serve to illustrate is that the Belichick's accomplishments with the Patriots deserve to be considered as at least comparable. 16 seasons 13 playoff appearances 6 Super Bowl appearances 4 Super Bowl rings One season they missed the playoffs with an 11-5 record. And they look to be a lock for 14 playoffs in 17 seasons, with who knows what beyond that. And he accomplished some of these feats in unconventional ways that nobody even tries to copy. He shifted from the conventional WR/RB centric offense to a TE/slot centric offense since 2009. He uses a revolving door of free agents. He refuses to overpay his own guys. He makes a lot of trades involving picks and veterans on an annual basis, often on the eve of the season or mid-season as with Collins and Moss. Belichicks performance given the impediments in the current age surely belongs in the first rank. Of course, there's the "cheating". That detracts from these accomplishments only at the margins.
