Patriots' Bill Belichick Says 'Blame Me' If Joe Judge, Matt Patricia Fail as Coaches

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has received plenty of criticism this summer for his decision to not hire an offensive coordinator and instead cede play-calling duties to Matt Patricia and Joe Judge.

"I think they’re both good coaches," Belichick told Dan Shaughnessy of the Boston Globe. "Ultimately, it’s my responsibility, like it always is. So if it doesn’t go well, blame me."
