Brady and Belichick are not having a great season

Despite winning against the Jets, Belichick and the Patriots are currently at the bottom of the AFC East division with 4 wins and 4 losses. It looks like they will miss the playoffs this season; however, the Patriots fans are still keeping faith in Belichick and his coaching ability.

On the other hand, Tom Brady is enduring a terrible season so far, as he has fallen below 0.500 for the first time in his career. Amidst Brady’s personal crisis, the Bucs are not performing well at the moment. Moreover, the quarterback’s performance has also been questionable so far this season.
