Listening to head coach Bill Belichick after Sunday’s game, it’s interesting that he appears to be continuing as if his team is 7-2 and not 2-7, maintaining the same approach as he has despite the fact his team is in serious trouble.
The one thing that may allow him to weather the storm is going to be whether or not he can keep the locker room together. Consistency is one thing, but the challenge of keeping a team with just two wins in nine games moving in the same direction may potentially be tougher than he thinks.
As it is, there already appears to be cracks starting in the foundation around that part of things, and the coming weeks will be interesting.
