Patriots in control doesn't mean that they're pulling every string, think of it more like a fighter who is up against a more powerful opponent but knows his moves so well he continually baits him into launching attacks that he has counters prepared for. Think "Rocky 3" where Rocky knows that Clubber Lang ain't got the endurance to go the full match and forces him to spend the first few rounds wearing himself down. This is why bad things still happen even though "patriots are in control".
I've understood it more like "we've got this" rather than "we run everything". If Patriots truly pulled every string we wouldnt have had three stolen elections...
