If Seattle scores on that play, then it’s Bellichick under fire for not leaving enough time on the clock, as it was, by not taking those timeouts it forced Seattle to adjust their strategy and ultimately to throw that pass.

That statement is correct, but the flub for the Pats was the penalty call.
Undisciplined players have a way of tilting the wheel of fate at the most inopportune moment. They get away with their infractions often when it is of little or no consequence, but fail to recognize why they invariably get caught when it does matter.
Glad they’re playing football rather than performing delicate surgery!
