That’s a bit far. If he were a first year HC, with the same roster and a rookie QB, people would be saying this is promising and they’re moving in the right direction, they are 3 coin flip plays from being 5-1 after all.

We’re just used to holding the Patriots to an absurdly high standard.

Except he's not a first year coach. Belichick has been making some really horrible decisions that any other coach would have been lambasted for.

In this day in age in football, you have to be aggressive in order to win. It's like BB is shell shocked from the 4th and 2 play back in 2009 even though it was 100% the right call despite the result.

If they go for it on 4th down and it falls incomplete, or gets picked, you're second-guessing Belichick for putting too much on Mac too soon. It's lose-lose however you slice it.

That drive to force OT is where the Pats lost the game. He had a timeout to ice Zurlein who was struggling. Why save it with 20 sec left on the ensuing? But he couldn’t adjust to the Kellen Moore offense. Just play after play of chunks. You have to win that game at 26-29.
