Seems like in the infamous 4th and 2 vs. the Colts and Sunday's game Belichick had absolutely no faith in his defense...for the HC to think no way does the defense stop them this drive gives me some worry.
I would think the defense,despite being horrific has to be somewhat insulted,as well all know most NFL players have some sort of ego even if its obvious they couldn't stop a nose bleed,how does a defense get any better when the HC himself thinks there is no chance they can stop the other team in a potential game winning situation?
I guess you could compare the 2 situations as both had games in limbo and gambles, but in the 4th and 2 the Pats were slightly ahead at the time and if they connected on that 4th down they would have won the game,this was a bit different.
Bottom line is I wonder if this will have some sort of effect on getting the defense back on track....I would think Wilfork was saying WTF when they decided to go for a pathetic onsides kick.
Another thing is,if you have no faith in your defense 2 out of the last 3 years why not do something about it?....I hope this time he does in the offseason.
If Belichick has no faith his defense can pull a stop in critical times,how does a fan have faith?
Leave gambling when you to the Mohegan Sun and rebuild this defense from top to bottom and get some faith back when the game is on the line .... we are 0-2 in these situations.
