This is who the Pats are. They are not a SB contender. But I’m still thrilled with the Pats 2021 season. A rebuilding team with a rookie QB and a bunch of new guys, that goes 10-7 and gets to the playoffs. Definitely a successful season.
I fully expect them to be one and done, Cincy & Buffalo are just better than the Pats. BUT if they surprise us with a win, that’s just icing on the cake. I’m excited to see what they do in free agency and the draft to improve this team. I fully expect improvement next year. Would love to see some more explosive weapons for Mac. Also hoping Mac improves, he has shown so much promise as a rookie, but I’m hoping for less INTs next year. Also hoping for a beast in the middle to help against the run.
This game sucked, to be down 17-0 is just a killer, but if the defense just got some stops after that, the game was winnable, got almost all the way back. Going 1-3 in the last 4 games was sobering. All 3 losses to good teams, we just can’t beat good teams, doesn’t bode well for the playoffs.
