Nov 12 (Reuters) - New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick blamed "missed opportunities" after a dispiriting 10-6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday as the once mighty NFL franchise cratered to their worst record through 10 games in more than two decades.
"Obviously a disappointing game - similar theme that we've had other games this year: just too many missed opportunities," Belichick told reporters.
"Just got to play better situational football and do a better job taking advantage of the opportunities we have."
"When people (are) talking about 'Should Bill Belichick be fired mid-season?'
Belichick and the team will have an extended period to regroup as the Patriots are on a bye week before facing the New York Giants on the road.
