He\u2019s given Drake Maye some praise, and said he feels for the players after coach Jerod Mayo called the team \u201csoft.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"B2FGPEOMTJAI5ELKOPILMHOIJM\">But he hasn\u2019t gone too much in depth about his former\u2019s team 3-10 season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"DVJHPMD2QRFWZA6JZ2YTRY7FTY\">That changed Monday during the latest episode of the \u201cLet\u2019s Go!\u201d podcast when host Jim Gray asked Belichick what he\u2019s seen from New England this season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5P2H7ORJUFBXDFMPG5JFSIMMDQ\">\u201cJust haven\u2019t done enough to win very many games on any level. They\u2019ve had trouble on defense. One of the last ranked teams on offense, if not the bottom ranked. Missed some key field goals and some kicking plays as well. So I\u2019d say all three areas of the game just haven\u2019t been good enough to win,\u201d he said, as transcribed by The Boston Herald\u2019s Doug Kyed. \u201cAnd they still got a couple games left against Buffalo, right? They have a bye week this week, so maybe they can get a few things straightened out. But it\u2019s just been a pretty inconsistent year. Just haven\u2019t been able to do enough to win when they needed to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"O4VFKQCACJB7BACFKR4C3CDZEM\">Belichick added that it\u2019s hard to see the players go through this type of season \u2014 particularly those on defense.<\/p>\n<p id=\"SIJRT5NMSNBFTHV4SF7AURLLQY\">\u201cI know those guys work hard. They\u2019re tough and they care and they put a lot into it. But it\u2019s the National Football League,\u201d Belichick told Gray, \u201cIt\u2019s very competitive. You gotta find a way to stand up to the competition and that\u2019s a challenge for every team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"24SYRCDS7NGNDBCVFPEPA2M4SY\">The Patriots have struggled mightily lately with holding penalties and while in the red zone. The defense played mostly well against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday afternoon, essentially imploded when New England allowed Anthony Richardson and company to convert three times on third down and execute a 19-play, 80-yard drive that led to a touchdown late in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n<p id=\"GQ3XOVMMYBE7PHQQ7UH74KGFTA\">Sunday\u2019s 25-24 loss to the Colts officially eliminated the Patriots from the playoffs as reminders that a rebuild takes time and is a process continued to build.<\/p>\n<p id=\"FU5R54FVJZFCLKPZIQWWPDZLSA\">Now on the bye week, New England can rest, reflect and try to end the season on a high note.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bill Belichick hasn\u2019t talked much about the New England Patriots this season.
