This was a team a lot of people (Here, too) had as the AFC Champion. They've hit a bad stretch - probably not practicing well, COVID distractions, just not in synch. They got absolutely bullied yesterday - they weren't ready to play. It happens. It's one game.
Obituaries are written way too early.
The only difference in my feelings towards playing them is that I think the Pats have improved so much, have become so much more than I expected at the beginning of the year with so many new pieces and a rookie QB, that they can hang with anybody. Until three weeks ago, I would have been happy with a split - very happy.
I won't be happy with any losses the rest of the way, because this team is good enough to beat anybody..
But...take anyone left on the schedule lightly, take any team in the NFL lightly, and you lose.
