But there were issues with age of scheme too.
Belichick looked lost at times defending basic college Air Raid concepts. He never fiully adjusted like Reid did to the college spread.

I think his defense had the juice. It was over the moment he got addicted to his own farts and promoted ✏️ 👂 to offensive coordinator.
Defensively, Bill’s gameplan to defend the Buffalo’s K-Gun offense sits in the hall of fame, and crazily, he pretty much rolled out the same gameplan against Mahomes almost 30 years later in the AFCCG.
The thing of it is, for that gameplan to work, your offense has to control the football. The Bills in 91 and the Chiefs in 19 both had the ball for around 20 minutes.
And it’s going to be much harder to control the football for long, sustained drives with Mac Jones instead of Tom ****ing Brady.
