'lil bit.
It wasn't that they won - it was how they did it. The places where I expected them to come back a bit looked as good as ever. And I expected Brady to look mortal - he didn't. 15 more games (plus playoffs) and cold weather are gonna take some of the zip he showed out of his arm, it's inevitable. And we can't forget how Brees just smashed into a wall around week 12 last year. Older QBs aren't gonna hold up as well. But did the level of their dominance make me take pause a bit? Yeah, it did. And I think we made the mistake so many teams make with BB and his coaching staff. We got their DL coach and thought our DL would look like theirs. Just as other teams have gotten their (insert coordinator here) and thought thy could adopt the Patriot Way. Or took their GM and figured we'd have Patriots Midwest. But if you don't have BB you don't have shit. He's the guy that makes it go and I think we just kinda forgot that. So take away as many coordinators as you want. Take away as many players as you need and unless you take away BB (and to a lesser extent, Brady), that team's gonna find ways to win. Because Belichick is a ****ing wizard. And it sucks to get such an early reminder of that fact.

I was thinking, this is what a good defense looks like.

I will say that the Steelers sure looked like a bunch of bumble****s.
I mean just replace Moncreif with, I dunno, Conley and they probably put up 10 more points. Their DC is out there putting a LB in single coverage on Josh Gordon - shades of Houston on AB for sure. The Patriots looked incredible but the Steelers also looked like they didn't know their ass from a hole in the ground. It was a combination of things.

The SNF game to me was like watching Donks-Faid play each other. All I do is root for injuries to both sides.

They dropped 33 on a toothless Steeler team at home during their Superbowl banner party. Chiefs dropped 40 on the road against a physical cheap shotting defense while playing in a sauna for three hours.
Not deflated in the least. |

Have heard this a lot. Have always been sympathetic to it. But the 2019 Patriots? Different story. I'd like to swim in their misery and not even because it would give us a better shot at beating them. Because of pure disdain. |

Only because Pats fans around here (as in my physical area, not CP) are completely intolerable, condescending assholes. Every time they scored, I rolled my eyes. Long time before we play them, though. Here's hoping the AB proves to be a cancer to their locker room!

No. Remember - September games don't count for the Pats.
