The only reason this one even registers on my give a damn scale is all of the things that appeared to be going the patriots way. Home game? Check. Bye week to get healthy and come up with brilliant game plan? Check. West coast team traveling cross country on a short week? Check. Opponent appears to have significant weaknesses that can be exploited? Check.
Think of it this way if that game had been in Seattle would it bother you even a little bit? For me the answer is no because it's out of conference to a damn good team and losses happen. The other guys get paid too. Just gotta take your hat off to the Seahawks cuz despite everything they had going against them they brought their A game and deserved to win. I still think New Englands A game is better but that's not how they played for whatever reason and there is no shame in losing to a team as dialed in as they were. Does make you wonder how it will play out if they do meet on a neutral field later in the season if the pats can't win with everything possible going for them but in the grand scheme of things this loss changes nothing for the season.
