Following the Patriots’ 21-17 loss to the Raiders, Bill Belichick once again gave a simple overview of his team’s problems.
“Obviously we just couldn’t quite make enough plays here tonight,” Belichick began. “We had our opportunities and just need to do a better job here in just about every area. One of a number of things could’ve made the difference, and we just need to be coach[ed] better, play better, execute better.”
It’s a similar prognosis to what he’s said in previous weeks, with the Patriots now falling to 1-5.
Unlike the previous two defeats, however, New England was able to keep the game close.
