The Saturday night Wild Card loss against the Buffalo Bills was certainly an embarrassing moment for Bill Belichick. The game was not in his control since the beginning and it was evident that the Patriots lacked execution. At one point in the game, the Patriots trailed the hosts by 27-0 making it hard for the rookie quarterback to come back in the game.

And so after losing 47-17 in Buffalo the Belichick side has called it a season. It’s not the most ideal situation for the franchise since the Patriots have seen better days with Tom Brady. The rookie quarterback Mac Jones is hit by harsh reality and is looking forward to a better 2022 season. For him making the playoffs in his very first season is certainly a start but not the best for Belichick.

For the head coach losing in the very first playoff game and that too while trailing the opponent by 30 points is the most embarrassing thing for him. Moreover, this game was the worst playoff loss suffered by the Pats coach in his two-decade tenure in New England. This loss must have made him remember the kind of a player that Tom Brady was.

“We just couldn’t keep up with them tonight,” Belichick told reporters after the loss. “So, [they] certainly deserved to win. Well coached. Team executed well. And we just couldn’t do much of anything. So, we’ll just pick up the piece, go back to work here. Need to find a way to be more competitive.”

The Bills clearly outperformed the Patriots in all aspects. The six-time Super Bowl winners did not play like themselves. The defense failed to contain the Bills offense as the laser-sharp accuracy of Josh Allen led the hosts to back-to-back scores.

With the loss, it has now been three seasons that the Patriots have not made it beyond the Wild Card Round. Do you think that Mac Jones will lead the New England Patriots beyond this point?
