The Patriots, talent wise, are not in the top 4, probably not even the top 6 in the NFL.

That being said, Belicheck and their staff get credit for playing above their ability. A lot of people praise Belicheck as a master X's and O's guys, and this is where I think many will disagree. I don't think he's among the Best X's and O's guys in the NFL any more. The one thing(other than Tom Brady) that Belicheck does that keeps the Patriots rolling, is he has the ability to recognize someone else's scheme that is used outside of the NFL, and implement it before anyone else in the NFL does, and gets an advantage out of it. He should get credit for recognizing something that can be used as an advantage, and recognizing it before the rest of the NFL does.
