I don't mind the breakdowns of whose-fault-which-thing-was, and I don't even mind the "see? See? Brady is in decline!" observations. All of those will become verifiable predictions or ho-hum overreactions dependent on future events over a season. I agree with Joker, that Brady can't get hit that many times on a weekly basis - although we knew that O-line had big potential for trouble.
HOWEVER, the biggest fact of week 1 is that it's week 1.
Yes, your New England Patriots are 4th place in the AFCE. Raise your hand if you think they're staying there. Now put it down. You're just embarrassing yourself.
The level of "problem" here isn't predictive just yet of a 2-14 season, folks - or even of a 10-6 season.
It's week 1. It's week 1. It's week 1.
Do we really have to spend the rest of the week on new-longtime-pats-fans suicide watch?
