Patriots are resilient, almost spooky in a way

So says Dr. Z. I like that line

"You'd never know it from CBS' No. 1 announcing crew because they don't bother with trivial details such as this, but the Pats opened against the Bengals in a 4-2-nickel, with Hank Poteat as the starting nickelback and Junior Seau out. Poteat is a street free agent they picked up Wednesday before the game. He's been on and off their roster for three years. And they got by with this, against one of the NFL's flashiest passing offenses, with Carson Palmer, etc. ... you know, the Bengals, who a few idiots had ranked No. 1 in the NFL. Yeah, the Patriots are resilient, almost spooky in a way."
