It was his clock management and play calling that seemed messed up and cost them a few times last night. Pats fans should wonder about that.
Seriously, on 3 & 2, why not let Maroney or Faulk carry it? You can do that twice if you have to.

thats what i meant, unusually poor time management and use of time-outs by belichick. i understand why he gambled to go for it on 4th and 2 but i disagree with the decision. when the ball was at new england's 28, the risk was too high especially against a good defensive team. i wouldnt have a problem with the decision if the ball was at between new england's 45 to the goal line. they should've punted and belichick should've had some confidence in the defense squad to shut them down. i read that the patriots defense was too gassed at the point which influenced belichick's decision to stay with the offense. it's all over now and it's another chapter added to the boston sports moment of total fuck ups.
