Many former players (Devin McCourty & Rodney Harrison on record) each interviewed for hours, telling their experiences and inside stories of the making of the greatest NFL dynasty in the history of the sport. Yet the writers/directors decide that their agenda to focus on the negative aspects of the team and its coaches will take precedence over the experience of those players. What a travesty.
This could have been a tremendous revelation of how the inside events of the team became the juggernaut that went to 9 Superbowls in 18 seasons. Instead they rehash the false information that became "Deflategate". What an insult to fans of the game. Bill Belichick, as imperfect a man as he is, put together a series of teams that accomplished unparalleled continued success in a time when every other team in the league would experience the highs and lows of the free agent process. Nothing really said about that. During a time when most teams' players fall prey to the "Me first" mentality, Belichick gets his players to invest themselves into a "Team first" concept, and experience the success that it can bring. The series doesn't say much of anything about that either. The makers of this series have completely missed the boat. I guess we should have realized what was coming when early in the series the writer confesses that he's always been a Dolphins fan. Should have turned it off right then.
