I was worried about this season for one reason above all others: motivation. We won the Super Bowl right after Deflategate. We then won the one after Brady's suspension, finally putting Deflategate in the rearview mirror. Now, what is our motivation to go above and beyond? Winning for Edelman isn't enough to keep us going for a season, let alone a game.
Getting humiliated in front of Goodell, however, might actually get the team to focus. We've got a solid roster, but all this talk of 14-2+ is nonsense. This is a 11-5/12-4 team without Edelman, Brady getting reacquainted with Gronk and developing a rapport with Cooks, and the defense trying to shake off the ugly from the preseason.
Do you guys think this loss can help to focus this team, or is this a momentum killer that will derail the team moving forward?
