Trent Dilfer among those who do not count the Patriots

On Sunday, the Patriots had a bad night losing 1-2 against Matt Patricia and the Detroit Lions.

Some will call this the beginning of the end of the Patriote dynasty, but Bill Belichick obviously did not participate in this in his interview with WEEI on Monday.

"It's the execution that really concerns me, we're trying hard, but we're not doing enough," he said. "It's from every point of view, I think it's as much a matter of trial and effort as execution and fundamentals, we are running out of time and just playing better."

If the problem with the Patriots at this stage is the execution and not the effort, we can hope that they can reverse the situation. Poor execution usually comes from a lack of coaching or poor staff, and we know that coaching is not the problem.

Another hot topic that came out of the game last night is the use of rookie Sony Michel over veteran James White.

"I think your team is evolving every year," he said. "The more you know, the better you can train. But look, each team is going through the same thing. We are doing our best, and we hope we can do better. We are not near where we want to be. But nobody will solve that but us. We must work and understand. "

The reception center has been a problem since training camp, and with Julian Edelman for a week to serve a suspension, Belichick did not give a clear idea of ​​when we would see Josh Gordon on the ground.

"I think it's a little early to make big assessments at this stage," he said. "As you know, a lot of performances are based on trust, knowing what you are doing and being familiar, and not thinking too much and trying to play at a confident speed of play."
