The Ringer:We don't know how the good the patriots really are

[Huckleberry1]

The author brings up a great point, we don't fully know about the 2016 Patriots yet. So, in that spirit here is my analysis of the teams we do fully know about:

Tannehill pretty much always has nice numbers vs the Pats. That was also an early in the season game and the D was still figuring things out.

That was the tale of two halves. Until the Pats switched to ultra-conservative mode right before halftime the Dolphins had gained only 61 yards and three first downs with two turnovers and no points.

IIRC Collins sucked eggs that game as well.

Tannehill pretty much always has nice garbage time numbers vs the Pats at Gillette. That was also an early in the season game and the D was still figuring things out.

Just wanted to correct that.

The Ringer is a real bummer, overall. I liked Grantland a lot, so when a bunch of the staff migrated over to start the Ringer, I was really hopeful.

Seems like they've decided to emulate Buzzfeed more than Grantland, though, and that's pretty much the opposite of why I liked Grantland. I'll read all the nuanced, dense, long-form material they can put out, but instead they go for clickbait like this.
