For Belichick it must have been Deja Vu all over again

So someone in another thread said "Martz McVay". When I first read it I thought it unfair to McVay. As some time has passed I think there is a smidgin of appropriateness to it in SB53. In no way is McVay a clone of Martz. We all know that. However the inexperience in the Super Bowl as head coach is shared between them. The inadequate halftime adjustments on offense is shared also.

Neither SB36 nor SB53 are the same except for the unfortunate result. The differences between those two SBs are stark. However the inexperience and especially inexperience as head coach in the Super Bowl is shared. The stat before the game that gave me the most cause for concern was the disparity in Super Bowl experience between the two teams. The Patriots had 36 players with Super Bowl experience. The Rams had 4.

Hopefully the Rams will return to the Super Bowl soon and with a team loaded with SB experience and a head coach armed with ample experience ready for the challenge.

In SB36, the Rams had all the experience and look how that worked out. I don't think experience, over the history of super bowls, seems to be an area that has much of an affect on a game.

I agree about players but not about head coaches. Besides in SB36 that was simple theft. Nothing could be done about that from a player. In SB53 Cooks was one of the 4 Rams with Super Bowl experience and he still had a couple crucial missed catches. BTW I am not blaming Cooks. Nor am I blaming McVay.
