I didn’t “take it to mean” you can’t think of any bad call, you said you can’t think of any bad call.
The point here is not to give you examples of game management and personnel decisions and have you explain why you agree with them. But it’s easy to cite examples, @Chiuba E. Obele came up with several from just last year: the pooch kick against the Eagles and the game planning against the Dolphins. Want to go back further? Benching Seymour for attending his grandmother’s funeral and missing a practice. All mistakes.
But again, the point here is not to have you laboriously go through and say why you think they were all the right calls. They of course can all be discussed—some may feel that kicking that way against Philly was a terrific idea, for example. I think that’s a bonkers position to take, but fine. The point is you can’t think of ANY mistakes Belichick has made in game management or personnel. You say maybe examples exist, but you just can’t remember them. OK. Pay attention going forward and chime in when you disagree with something. Until then, I’ll assume if Belichick does it, you agree it’s the right thing to do.
If you are one of those proud few who think that pooch kick had any substantial effect on the game - except maybe giving the Eagles 10-15 more yards than a normal punt if fair caught - then there is no reason to talk.
