If It's The Last Game Of The Regular Season

...it's time for Shank to conveniently forget about the Patriots' other losses and injuries last year and second guess and pile on like the best of them.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — It is impossible to be in sunny southern Florida this weekend and not think about what Bill Belichick did here last year. This is where the Great Hoodie came up with the worst game plan of his career and willingly forfeited an opportunity to go to another Super Bowl.

It was worse than fourth and 2. It was almost as bad as Pete Carroll opting for the slant pass in traffic from the 1-yard line. It was Belichick’s Grady Little moment.

I'm pretty sure Belichick is no Grady Little, but that's what you get with a columnist with an axe to grind.
