Count me among the people who sat there for three hours wondering WTF is going on here. This team has been very bad for 6 games now, going 2-4 against less than stellar competition. I mean, they have lost to the Broncos and Jets on the road (close games, both understandable), but also to Philly and Miami, both of whom are just godawful.
It hardly inspires confidence heading into the postseason.
Then again, it's almost certain that they'll get back Edelman and Vollmer, have a healthy Amendola, LaFell, and Chandler, on offense. And on defense, Jones and Hightower will be back, and Chung and McCourty will be healthier.
Those additions - all to key guys - should make a world of difference. They won't be playing to protect anyone. They'll be all out. Steven Jackson looked ok today - useful, anyway. Good to get him involved.
I think the Pats in 2 weeks will look significantly different than the Pats we've seen the last six weeks. And that's a good thing because the Pats of the last six weeks would get blown out by Pittsburgh or KC.
I'm so not thinking about the AFCCG right now. Just grateful for no more injuries. Get everyone healthy for two weeks and let's fire away in the divisional round.
