Are Bill Belichick's Patriots suffering from a 'cavalier attitude'?

Bill Belichick helped build the greatest dynasty in professional sports, leading the New England Patriots to six Super Bowl titles and nine AFC championships from 2001 to 2018. But the times are changing, and if you ask Patriots Insider Tom E. Curran, Belichick still hasn't properly adjusted.

The Patriots are 25-26 (including postseason) since Tom Brady's departure in March 2020 and have missed the playoffs twice in the last three seasons. The 2022 campaign was a disaster, as Belichick's decision to replace departed offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels with first-time offensive play-caller Matt Patricia backfired spectacularly.
