See, at least Cousins can rightfully claim that his idiocy was a panic move, and it didn't cost him the game.

Slater did what Belichick said to do, he according to post-game question, he asked BB 3 times.

 

Slater says Belichick told refs before captains went to midfield that Patriots wanted to kick.

Then I have absolutely no idea what Belichick was thinking. I guess the conspiracy theory thing would be to suggest that he'd rather play the Jets than the Steelers in a potential divisional matchup and has enough confidence in his team to beat Miami next week, but that seems incredibly un-Belichick-like. Wind wasn't a factor. Maybe he thought that little of the Jets' offense?
