Bill Belichick loves this team. They fight, they scrap, they support each other, and (cover your taunting ears Cassius Marsh) they have fun. Can’t think of much he loves more about football than building a roster and molding them into mentally tough players. When asked about Mac Jones pulling the leg of Panthers’ DE Brian Burns, Belichick praised the quarterback for his ‘competitive spirit.’ I believe he feels that for the rest of his team as well. They are confident they can win games, and it’s hard to not be confident right along with them.
Many of the the Foxborough faithful have been seeing the diamond in the rough that is this year’s Patriots team early on and Belichick is right there with you.
