After the release of “The Dynasty” documentary series on Apple TV+, former players expressed worries about what they saw as an unjust representation of Bill Belichick’s contributions to the New England Patriots’ successes. Matthew Slater, a former Patriots captain, has recently expressed his dissatisfaction with how the legendary head coach was portrayed in the documentary.

Slater expressed his disappointment with “The Dynasty,” stating, “I think it portrayed Coach Belichick in a way that was very unfair.” He further explained his frustration, mentioning, “I spent two days interviewing, and I said more positive things about Bill than I could imagine. Of course, they didn’t use any of that.”

This perspective from Slater adds to his earlier criticisms of Belichick. Notably, the former wide receiver had previously accused Belichick of being a ‘hypocrite’ regarding his political views and support of former President Donald Trump.

Nevertheless, despite his grievances, Slater acknowledged Belichick’s significant impact on the Patriots’ success during their dynasty era. He believed that this aspect should have been highlighted more prominently in the documentary.
