The problem is we had these exact same discussions last year when the offense was struggling a bit. That's why teams play this way. It's why Belichick has done it for years. Most teams honestly just aren't good enough to avoid shooting themselves in the foot a few times a game. So you always feel like if you'd just made a couple extra plays you'd win, but you never do because it's just hard for any offense to pull off 12-15 play drives over and over. Guys drop passes or a RB misses the hole or the QB misses an open guy or there's a penalty and the drive gets stalled.
