Kneeling with 55 seconds left in the first half set the losing tone

It most certainly did. Conservative play with the focus of sitting on a lead and more worried about making mistakes than what the patriots could do.

The second half was dictated by this mindset.
Against the Patriots, you're "damned if you do, damned if you don't." A coach needs to recognize when to keep pressing and when to let up. 10 points is nothing against NE. 

With only a 10 point lead you just can't run Fournette on 1st and 2nd down. 24 rushes for 76 yards? Then rely on Bortles to make a play on 3rd and long? Conservative play was simply playing to lose.

On the other hand, look what happened to the Falcons last year. Up 25 in the 4th Q. They should have slowed the game, but didn't. I'm sure Marrone learned from this. He did a good job with the Bills and then a great turnaround with the Jags.
