Yes, there is no "I" in team, but there is an element that can brutally take the ball out of one team's hands and give the gift of victory to another -- the coach!

I thought Wade Phillips was the biggest coach to blow chunks in week ten, because he failed to motivate his "media assumed" hot team, but Belichick can not justify his play call at all...unless he admits to temporary loss of sanity.

From a betting perspective, the Patriots covered the spread. However, the goal of any coach in professional sports is to put his or her team in the best position to win the game. Bill Belichick failed this task, instantly giving up thirty or more yards to the opponent.

One never sees a coach declare, "This one is on me. It's my fault," but clearly Belichick did not give his "beleaguered" defense a chance to prove their worth.
