Jets, NFL teams need to own up to mistakes rather than blaming Pats

[jmt57]

NESN's Jeff Howe - a writer who has done a really good job following the Patriots this year in my opinion - has a very good column. Howe writes about a very hot current topic - and calls out all those that seem so quick to blame the Patriots for anything and everything that goes wrong.

Jets, NFL Teams Need to Own Up to Mistakes Instead of Blaming Patriots - Instant Opinion - NESN.com

It's become socially acceptable in the NFL to blame the Patriots for everything, even when they're not involved. The latest unprovoked attack from Jets special teams coach Mike Westhoff is as comical as this notion has become.

But here's a thought: Don’t let coaches trip players, and don’t throw interceptions at defensive backs who are banked in a zone, and don’t forget to show up on a nationally televised game on Monday night.

Self-accountability can be a whacky concept, and if it's too tough of a quality to attain, hey, blame the Patriots.
