In my rat's ass of an opinion, it was mostly great teams, some Bill Belichick, and some Tom Brady.

When Tom Brady missed the entire 2008 season, the Patriots went 11-5 with Matt Cassel at quarterback ...... the very next year in 2009, the Patriots went 10-6 with Brady back at quarterback, and they were blown out by the Ravens in the Wildcard round of the playoffs on their homefield in Foxborough.

The Matt Cassel 2008 Patriots team didn't make the playoffs with a record of 11-5, only one of 2 teams ever not to make the playoffs with an 11-5 record. The other team to go 11-5 and not qualify for the post-season was the 1985 Denver Broncos.



Bill Belichick led the Patriots to 9 Super Bowls in his tenure as coach ...... but I would argue that his best year as a head coach was when he led the Patriots to an 11-5 record with Matt Cassel at quarterback.
