I'm actually not even a Belichick hater, I have a sly admiration for the man (much like his twin brother in Tuscaloosa who also came through same demon gate)

but it is clear his support staff is as bad as it has ever been (again, his fault -- one his coaches is his son)

and his talent evaluation skills are irrelevant to modern football; he seems enamored with blocking receivers and third safeties

there is not a single difference-maker on the Patriots offense, and that is all his fault
