If you have read the newspapers, watch TV, read this board over the last 2 days, you realize why the Pats can't lose. If they lose, the world ends, BB needs to be fired, and they need to blow up the whole team, and start rebuilding.
I don't think any other team, faces the same criticism after losses than the Pats. I remember last year after the Cleveland game, how the world was over,
Teams lose, 16-0 was an aberration, hell 14-2 is an aberration, in the parity NFL, a good team will win between 11 and 13 games, which is where the Pats will finish.
I do not think Green Bay will get this abuse when they lose a couple of games this year. And no other team will get this abuse when they lose a game, they will just chalk it up to a bad game.
Listen, I am not blind to the Pats problems, I see them, I can recite them in alphabetical order. I get it, they are a flawed team. So name a team that isn't.
Including Green Bay BTW, they have played the softest schedule ever so far this year, and their defense is just as bad as the Pats.
Just get in the tourney and see what happens, flaws and all.
