FOXBOROUGH – If this is indeed the end of the Bill Belichick Era in Foxborough, it’s possible that Edgar Allan Poe wrote the script.
On a bleak, snowy day in Foxborough, the Patriots looked as bad as they did in the early 1990s. It was three hours of moribund offensive football. As the snow piled up on the Gillette Stadium field, as the minutes and seconds ticked away, Belichick’s reign as the best coach in the NFL today began to fade into the cold, late afternoon air. You could sense that the Grim Reaper visited Belichick as the final two-minute warning came and went.
