I live in Phoenix as well, and I totally disagree with that comment. It obviously was meant as lip service for the fan base, but since the off season started, starting from the top, they have been penciling 13-14 wins, and a superbowl berth. They have been hyping this season to no end, and it got incredibly worse after they made the Chandler Jones trade. The level of arrogance and disrespect towards other teams and especially at division rivals at all levels in the organization and in the media is nauseating.
Not one player, coach, radio station, or reporter in Phoenix has given credit to the Patriots. They beat you at your home, with several key players missing. They beat you because they were the better team. The Patriots have been to 5 straight AFC championship games and 2 superbowls in the last 5 years. That is a sign of a very good team, that perhaps is actually getting better every year for these last couple of years. Their victory is a reminder to every player playing for the Patriots to do your job, and if you cannot, the next person will. Keim should have acknowledged that the Patriots played better than them on 9-11-16, but they are moving on to the next opponent.
Instead, Keim is discrediting the Patriots for the win. He is blaming his team for being beaten in all facets of the game and to me at least that comes off as pompous. Like I said above, I suspect that it is lip service to the fan base to save some credibility. Palmer has already promised to beat the Bucs next week.
