I come from another environment, soccer, and in soccer you don't bench a player after a mistake, especially a glaring one. In my opinion, there's not a rule for these kinds of things, you have to see what kind of person you're dealing with. Some you pamper more, some you provoke more. In the case of Ridley, whatever thing Belichick did, didn't work. Obviously it's not all his fault, but it's possible that the situation could have been handled better. Let's see how he does on his next team, whether it's us or not.
