Are you serious, or did you just make this up without checking? Not saying you just pulled this out of nowhere, but I'd like to see the data myself before coming the conclusion you did.I have noticed that during the Belichick era the Patriots tend to lose when the other team takes more than an 11 point lead any time during the game. What is it about our offense that we cannot over come leads like the Colts, Chargers, etc.?
Why can't the season start tomorrow? What's wrong with the defense that they are letting teams get out to 11 point leads? Seriously, what the hell are you trying to accomplish with this post? What is the ideal answer to why the Patriots can't come back specifically from 11 points down? Please provide us with the games in which they were down by 11 points at some point at anytime in the game, and lost/won; otherwise, stop throwing things off a wall.I have noticed that during the Belichick era the Patriots tend to lose when the other team takes more than an 11 point lead any time during the game.

This is a silly comment. Gee, ANY team that trails by 11 in a game tends to lose. Not always, but "tend" being the key word here...I have noticed that during the Belichick era the Patriots tend to lose when the other team takes more than an 11 point lead any time during the game.

So do you know how other teams do in comparison when down by 11 or more points, or fewer than 11? And you have to get complete statistics for a period, you can't cherry-pick games you remember. With that info you can see if there's an unusual trend or if that's just how the game goes.We do not come back even against the bad teams. Perhaps it has been a lack of speed to strike back quick.

You still haven't compared the Pats to any other team. How often do other teams win after being down by 11 points? Right now you're just giving a no-brainer: it's hard to come back from an 11 point defecit.That is the complete statistics for the Patriots over the past 5 years. No cherry picking. 15 times in the past 5 years opponents both good and bad have taking a lead of more than 11 points and the Pats lost 93.3% of the time.
It just seems hard to believe in the Tom Brady era 12 points is so insurmountable. Historically speaking, if the Colts had gone up on us 21-3 then no come back like Manning did.
Chargers, for example, trailed by more than 11 points 3 times last year alone. (KC, Den and Cinci) They won 2 out of 3.
I think with Moss, Stallworth, Maroney, etc the offense may be better equipped to handle come backs, if needed, when they are down by 12 or more points.
