The Patriots have uncharacteristically struggled with substitutions the past two weeks, and that falls squarely on the coaching staff.
It goes without saying that the New England Patriots’ dynasty was built on a reputation of being disciplined and efficient in all facets of the game. This season, however, has unfortunately been an entirely different story for head coach Bill Belichick’s side, which fell to 2-5 after a gutting road defeat against Buffalo on Sunday.
