Me too.

Pats teams of years past would have folded getting behind both NO and TENN.

100%

That Maye pass to Diggs where he dropped it right in his breadbasket on the sideline was a thing of beauty.

Rookies scored TD's this week - nice to see

Playoffs looking very likely - getting a bye week not impossible - need to see Denver and Indy take some L's coming up

They haven’t played anyone.

Beating a beat up Tampa team does not count.

Maye continues to throw boneheaded picks.

For me, it comes down to decision making; and I don't see any smart decisions being made. Absolutely zero upside being offered from the coaching hires, draft, and allocation of cap room. It reeks of Eliot making sure as little money as possible leaves Bob's coffers.
Agreed.

This falls on Eliot and the Kraft's. There has to be a reason the only FA's they can get to Foxboro are old unathletic TE's, a locker room AIDS diva WR, and a weirdo WR that would be a GREAT WR3 for anyone with a chance of sniffing the playoffs.

That is rather uninspiring.
Agreed.

Does a 42-13 scoreboard somehow make you think the team is looking better???

He's not wrong. Jets/Bengals/Giants coming up, Pats might have the easiest schedule ever for a NFL team.

I mean, after what happened to Beefalo, this still holds true

None of the top teams (win-loss wise) look great. Danny Doughnuts has had some stinkers. Denver's DEF looks legitimately stellar, but Bo Nix inspires as much confidence as a fart after eating gas station sushi

That statement applies to pretty much everyone.

Patriots are 2-1 against teams over .500
Colts are 2-2 against teams over .500
Broncos are 1-2 against teams over .500
Chargers are 2-1 against teams over .500
Bills are 1-1 against teams over .500
Chiefs are 1-3 against teams over .500

The schedule is the schedule. It's great the Pats have ripped off 7 in a row, but ignoring the 2 L's AT HOME to LV and PIT should keep some cold water on the party, IMO

So teams are not allowed to take some time to gel under a new head coach?

They're "allowed" to do whatever. Doesn't mean we can't say those are ugly losses...

All losses are ugly losses. The Patriots turned the ball over a lot to start the season and went 1-2. Now they're the hottest team in football.

I think they are a good team who, when they play mistake-free, can give anyone a run for their money.

Checking in on SSB to get his thoughts on this uninspiring season.
