Sure, other coaches have taken teams with a lower winning percentage than the Patriots last season and have gotten them winning this season.
But no other team has been as decimated with injuries as the Patriots and yet they keep finding ways to win. With half of his starters out at the beginning of the season due to contract disputes or injuries, and a secondary full of rookies, Belichick has kept this team focused and on track.
The Patriots are playing with the same vigor and toughness that won them the Super Bowl just a few short years ago. If they keep playing with the “Patriot Pride” that they have been doing since the beginning of the year, watch for this team in January.
