Past performance doesn't guarantee future results, but it is the single best leading indicator.... which is all it needs to be.
As for the "this is DIFFERENT!" claim, you could have said the same thing about the OL in 2014. That worked out ok.
I think we all have to understand that there is a middle ground to this conversation.
There is more than just the two sides of.........
"The sky is falling and queue the Jim Mora 'playoffs' rant."
and
"Don't worry, everything is great!"
There can be a middle ground of people who still believe the Patriots will be better than what they've shown but want to have intellectual conversation about some glaring concerns that have arisen.
The OL in 2014 that you bring up is a perfect example. You're right, they did turn it around magnificently, but at the same time would you deny that it was a concern and worthy of discussion in the first month?
