If there is some special way to win in the playoffs then why do bad coaches sometimes beat good coaches?

If nothing matters but the coaching then why don't the same coaches win every single year?

Why do the same coaches win one year and then lose another year?

The fact that Marvin has not won a playoff game does not mean he can not win a playoff game.

You dog the other guy but make no real point other than asking obtuse questions.

There is no special way to win. All coaches can win. All can lose. That said, the only thing the coach and organization can do is:

1: Building the best possible roster via the Draft and FA under the cap and bargaining constraints.

2: Strategically managing that roster to ensure continuity, thus minimizing talent deficiencies and holes in the roster.

3: Game Planning strategically to maximize the roster’s talents to give the best chances of beating the opponent

4: Hoping for the best possible injury luck while trying to have contingencies in place via 1 and 2. When injuries happen have a plan to surmount them. Do not give up hope because 1 key player is unavailable.

The reason the Pats and Belichick have been so successful for so long is that they do these 4 things better than all other organizations. They’ve obviously had Brady, but also made the Playoffs with Matt Cassel, and won games with Jacoby Bridgett, Jimmy G, and Brian Hoyer. They’ve won with and without their studs, including in the Playoffs.

The Pats are expert at mining other team’s castoffs and provide NF meaningful roles to maximize talent. Despite doing all this, no one team is guaranteed a victory. The best any team can do is to put themselves in the best possible position to win games, and let the chips fall where they may. More often than not, the Pats win, and that’s the best that can be expected in the Playoffs. Their record and titles are proof of it.
