In the rare occasions where the Pats lose big games i don’t think it’s due to Belichick being outcoached very often (you could make a case for Pederson last SB though), but more just the Pats players not getting the job done. Last night they got the job done. The entire defense was great, led by the best CB in the game this season in Gilmore, and that front 7 gave Goff hell all night. The offense obviously wasn’t nearly as impressive (you can keep McDaniels lol), but Edelman, Michel, and Brady did just enough to win.
I think what it boils down to, is that when a player gets to NE, Belichick expects them to be great, and tells them that, and then gets that out of them instead of letting them just be mediocre and collect a paycheck. It's culture, and I hope Taylor brings that kind of culture with him.
