Super Bowls Without Belichick/Brady

What would the Super Bowl look like without the Bill Belichick/Tom Brady connection? How would the NFL’s championship picture look, and how would it have gone from 2001 to the present?
 
Just gonna do the Super Bowls the Pats participated in:

2002 - Oakland, a team screwed by the ridiculous Tuck Rule, ends up defeating the Steelers in the AFC Championship game only to lose to the Fastest Show dynasty 34 - 21

2004 - Peyton Manning leads the Colts into the SB where he wins the first of his many SB rings over the Carolina Panthers 27 - 24

2005 - Big Ben and the 15 - 1 Steelers roll into an all state SB, where they defeat the Iggies 24 - 20

2008 - Phillip Rivers and the Chargers break the glass ceiling and role into the SB where LT has a huge day gashing the G Men for almost 300 combined yards and winning MVP

2012 - Joe Flacco leads his Ravens into the SB against the Giants where in a tough hard fought contest the G Men prevail 19 - 17, Ray Lewis immediately retires after the game

2015 - Peyton Manning in one last hurrah, Powers the Denver Broncos into the SB in a rematch of the last year’s SB. Closer score but same results however as the Seattle Seahawks win back to back SB’s by a score of 27 - 20

2017 - Big Ben and the Steelers roll pass KC In tight low scoring AFC championship game by a score of 18 - 16 and match up with the high flying Atlanta Falcons. Falcons speed is too much for Pitt aging D and win it going away 41 - 24

2018 - Pitt once again makes it to the SB, beating the Jags by a high flying score of 34 - 27. With a much more poised Big Ben who doesn’t overlook their opponent. Once again they face their in state rivals Iggies and there is no Foles magic this time as Pitt wins this one 27 - 20

2019 - new blood is announced as Pat Mahomes and KC defeat their division rival Chargers 31 - 21 in the Championship game and rematch the Rams in the SB. Even with an injured and ineffective Gurley, the KC Swiss cheese D is no match for the Rams Show and lose by a score of 31 - 27

So doing this the only thing you can really change is the AFC participant in place of the Pats as IOTL NFC champs should stay the same.

Except of course for the Draft.
 
Peyton Manning wins a shit ton of more rings.

Realistically though, Bellichek plugs another system QB into the Patriots and wins a crap ton with them. Brady ends up as a good but not great QB somewhere else.

This was a make up call by the NFL gods for 1976, "Roughing the Passer" bogus call.

As to Bellichek and Brady do they end up with multiple championships separately just not the whole six?

I think Bellichek with Bledsoe could win at least one, Drew being that much better than someone like Cassel.

Nope...let's say brady magic allow him get 1, maybe 2 by himself

Bellichick...i can see they beating carolina in 2003 but losing to the iggles in 04(if they reach that far anyway, still bledsoe collapse was 05-06 anyway), so is 1, maybe 2...i can see them maybe beating the seahawaks or the falcons...so that 2-3,4 if bellichick got lucky.
 
Belichick stays with the Jets.
Brady gets drafted by the Niners later.
They OTL took Tim Rattay in the 7th round, as they were looking for a QB. While they are famed for passing up on TB12, they did intend to take him with this pick if he was still on the board.
The new Head Coach of the Patriots already had his franchise QB in Bledsoe, so has no need for a QB.

In pre-season Brady quickly makes it clear he is better than Carmuzzi and becomes Jeff Garcia’s No 2. Brady is a QB whose quick release compensates for a poor O-Line. Which makes him attractive to the Niners staff. He takes over the starting QB job in his second year. The Niners as an organisation know how to make QB’s and they once again become the team of the NFC.

Butterfly effect. Free agency, trades, and the draft would all be pretty different ITTL.
