I think something clicked in his head again -- he seemed utterly disgusted after this loss. Very proud of his team, but beyond pissed at the situation: that Peyton had just dropped 400+ yards on his defense, and that his team was darn-near embarrassed on primetime TV.
I get that this team was a bunch of overachievers, who really had no business playing in this game, but nonetheless, losing is frustrating.
After '06, Belichick revamped the offense. They acquired Moss, Welker, and Brady led the most incredible air-assault in NFL history.
This time, though, I think Belichick is going to sell-out on the defensive side of the ball. He's going to go after athletic, long-armed defensive lineman, an explosive edge-rusher, and a strong safety to play next to McCourty. Easier said than done, I get it. But if they can recoup the money going to Hernandez, which I believe they are going to (due to a technicality), I believe Bill will spend it on defensive guys.
We shall see.
