The coaches respected Brady too much and allowed him to get them in FG range. Play them straight and not give up the yardage, they punt. Those 3 points that the coaching staff conceded is not how you win.
That last drive died when Daboll thought they could score with a QB run. The line was bad all day. No real challenges to the banged up NE defense. Played safe when you should have played like you had nothing to lose.
