Patriots are just so predictably boring to watch and I haven’t ever had much faith in their Ability to get skill players from the NFL equivalent of 5 below or ocean state job lot . I wouldn’t have thought I would have said this 10 years ago.. but Without Brady B.B seems not special , he’s a great defensive mind but I think he refuses to realize Brady was the biggest reason for his championship success (he seems to think everything is due to the system ) and I would anticipate meh results while he is still here . I’m not saying that they would be better without him , but offensively and personal wise offensively I think they probably would be.
Last year the height of head shaking (to put it politely ) was to put Matt Patricia as OC. Basically this is the equivalent of any pro Mets here trying to put out competitive forecasts but only have access to the nam and nogaps and JMA.
