The New England Patriots seem to have hit a snag in terms of their success. They haven’t been placing well in their conference and the team’s performance has been average at best. Worse than anything, the Patriots don’t seem to inspire the same kind of love from the fans, they inspired a few years ago. With the horrible irony settling in, the pressure falls on one man, Bill Belichick. However, given the kind of disdain the fans have been expressing, even he seems to be in a negative mindset. He recently had a 4-word curt response for the fans and reporters. Furthermore, the same response from the head coach has the fans singing just one tune.
