Another week, another loss for the New England Patriots. Watching the Pats play, it is difficult to believe that it is the same team that holds the NFL record for most number of Super Bowl wins at 6, along with the Pittsburgh Steelers. On Sunday, in the game against the Los Angeles Chargers, the Pats fumbled again and matched a record that they had made more than 8 decades ago!

After tonight’s defeat, they now stand at 2-10. With the playoffs clearly out of the picture, this will be the fifth year for the Pats of the playoff drought. Skip Bayless, a sports analyst, took a dig at the head coach of the Patriots and claimed to have “exposed” him.

Skip Bayless takes a strong jab at Bill Belichick

The game against the Chargers was as bad as it could get. The Pats did not manage to score even one point and allowed the opposing team 6. What’s worse is that it happened in their home stadium. Skip Bayless was quick to remark on this and posted on X, “Bill Belichick is now 2-10 … 1-6 at home. Chargers 6, Patriots ZERO … at Gillette. Belichick: exposed.”

Their current loss is even more embarrassing as the last time they had lost 3 consecutive games where they allowed fewer than 10 points was 85 years ago in 1938! Bayless had been vocal in the past about how Belichick should be sacked and that is probably the only thing that could save the Patriots.

But what did Bayless claim to have exposed? The fact that without his quarterback Tom Brady, Belichick is just a mediocre coach, and his “most successful head coach in football” title came to be because of Brady. Do numbers support his view?

Belichick would not have been where he is without Brady

Tom Brady and Bill Belichick had dominated the NFL for 20 years. In that period, the two won 6 SB Championships. But after a painful divorce, Brady signed with the Tampa Bay Buccanneers. The moment he went there, the lackluster team went on to win the Super Bowl that year. Belichick, however, is still to help his team lift the Lombardi Trophy without Brady.

With Tom Brady, he has a 0.769 record, while without him it is 0.463. But when Brady was asked about this and whether the defining factor in the Patriots’ unparalleled success was him or Belichick, he gave the credit to Belichick and his entire team.

But considering the state that the Pats are in, is it time for the 71-year-old to walk off into the sunset with his many laurels? Or should he wait around to try to break Don Shula’s record as the head coach with the number of wins in NFL history?
