Bill Belichick believes that the Patriots’ struggles this season are in part due to the mindset and approach they had the previous five seasons.
“We sold out and won three Super Bowls, played in a fourth, and played in an AFC Championship Game,” Belichick said Monday on WEEI. “This year we have less to work with. It’s not an excuse. It’s just the facts.”
The head coach was elaborating on a previous interview, with SiriusXM on Saturday, in which he acknowledged to Charlie Weis that the Patriots are relying on more young players than they have in the past.
