I would give Belichick most of the credit for the first two Super Bowls plus the latest one. Defense was the primary reason they won those 3 rings. But I would give Brady most of the credit for their other 3 rings. He was phenomenal against the Falcons in particular. Belichick’s defense gets the blame for their 3 losses.

Let's not forget that the Pats were trailing the Steelers in the AFCCG before Bledsoe came in for an injured Brady and led them to victory. That first SB was about as lucky as you can get.
