An old NFL saying needs to be changed as far as the Patriots are concerned

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

We always hear this saying time and time again and year after year and I never was a big fan of it and it is this ....

"Its not so much how the team is doing early in the season,Its how they play in december that really counts"

If that was the case then only a few teams did what the NE Patriots did in december or as they almost always do ...go 4-0 - However Didn't work for the Patriots so there goes that old myth by the wayside

Maybe the new saying should be ....

"Its not so much how the team is doing early in the season - AS LONG AS THE TEAMS YOU LOSE TO EARLY ON ARE IN THE OPPOSITE CONFERENCE"

I think that it would be "Every game is important, just the relative importance varies."

12 out of 16 games are very important. The other 4, not so much.
