Belichick. Not Brady. Belichick.
Now, blame is a strong word. How can you blame a guy whose coaching has been as consistently productive as his?
But realistically, it's not Brady's fault he has no receivers, minus Edelman.
It's not Brady's fault that neither line can perform at crunch time.
It's not Brady's fault that the defense can't get off the field. (although I think if you knew the Broncos would score 26 in this, you'd think, 'Super Bowl, here we come!' )
It's not Brady's fault that the coach didn't take two field goals and an extra point, which would have made it 26-23 in the waning moments.
Brady did miss a couple of long throws. That's on him. But otherwise, it's on the planning, the coaching prep and the in-game decisions. That's all on the coaching and GM-ing, and THAT's all on Belichick.
All that said, do I want Belichick gone? HECK NO. I am very grateful for the run of success that Brady and Belichick have given us as fans. It's just disappointing to continually get so close, and miss. But that is on Belichick. Not Brady.
Again, JMHO. I am still very excited about 2014.
