Patriots: Recapping Bill Belichick’s weekly OMF appearance on WEEI

December 8, 2020

Another win, another less annoyed and pissy coach this week. Still, the guys got into some interesting stuff out of coach Belichick as the Patriots stay out on the west coast to prepare for their Thursday night game against the Rams. Ordway opened the segment asking Belichick what’s been different and what’s allowed guys in all three phases to play with much more confidence and contribute in big ways over…

Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports Yikes. If the past few weeks were two of the best Bill Belichick interviews by Ordway, Merloni and Fauria, then this one easily wins the award for most awkward. Belichick was not in a chatty mood as you’d expect after the 27-20 loss in Houston, so, credit to the guys for not backing down, but pissy Bill can make interviews quite cringeworthy. Right from the jump…

Jim Davis/Boston Globe Well, well, well, we have a winning streak. Ok, it’s not a big winning streak, but according to “Major League” Lou Brown once said two games is a winning streak, so we’ll take it. Here’s another week of what stood out to us from BB’s weekly interview with Ordway, Merloni and Fauria: Ordway opened up the interview asking Belichick how important it was for the Patriots to…

We’re taking a different approach this week. After arguably the interview of the year so far last week following the Buffalo loss, Bill Belichick’s weekly appearance with Ordway, Merloni and Fauria was another all-timer for awkward silence on Tuesday. More importantly, it was another fantastic segment where Bill opened up a bit more than he normally would. In fairness – as Ordway pointed out to start the interview – a…

POOL/Getty Another week, another loss for the Patriots and head coach Bill Belichick. This is a tough place to play and coach in when you’re winning, but when you’re 2-5 after being yearly Super Bowl contenders for the last 20 years, the sky is obviously falling and everyone deserves to be cut and or traded. Hell, some people even want Belichick fired already. So, with that in mind, here’s what…

In a rather stunning turn of events, Bill Belichick actually answered questions from Glenn Ordway, Lou Merloni and Christian Fauria like a normal human being on Monday. After the embarrassment that was the 33-6 blowout on Sunday, it was just assumed that BB would be his usual ornery self when he met with the guys on Monday. That wasn’t really the case though as Bill gave some legitimately honest answers…

The Patriots are now under .500 through at least five games of the season for the first time since 2002. So, when Bill Belichick met with Glenn Ordway, Lou Merloni and Christian Fauria for his weekly appearance on WEEI on Monday, it was sure to be all sunshine and rainbows, right? We got the good old sarcastic Bill back for a good chunk of this week, and credit to the…

The Pats didn’t play this past weekend, but, Bill Belichick still met with Glenn Ordway, Lou Merloni and Christian Fauria Monday afternoon to talk about the state of the organization. With so much uncertainty revolving around the schedule, the HC of the NEP had some interesting thoughts on how the league has handled things. Ordway opened acknowledging that each week there is a new “have you ever seen anything like…

It’s been quite a week or so for the Patriots. Glenn Ordway, Lou Merloni and Christian Fauria had the unenviable task of interviewing the coach on Tuesday afternoon. The loss was one thing, but, just the circumstances surrounding the team right now are making the “focus on what you can control” mantra harder than ever to follow. What stood out Tuesday? Ordway opened by addressing that very topic, asking Bill…

This week’s interview with Bill Belichick by Glenn Ordway, Lou Merloni and Christian Fauria was the best one yet. Some failed humor regarding nicknames made for some outstanding awkward silence, but Bill also had some interesting stuff to say regarding Sunday’s 36-20 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. This week the running game will be absolutely critical if the Patriots have any shot to hang with the high powered Chiefs…
