Why Bruschi thinks firing Belichick in season would be ‘asinine'

The New England Patriots are 2-8 and sit at the bottom of the AFC standings following a brutal 10-6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Germany on Sunday.

The Patriots haven't won just two games through 10 weeks since 2000, so this is a pretty unfamiliar situation for not only the team, but also many of its fans, players and front office personnel.

The debate over whether head coach Bill Belichick should be fired has intensified in recent weeks as the losses keep piling up. Those debates probably will get even louder during the bye week as everyone assesses the state of the franchise.
