Who started this “easy schedule” narrative about the Patriots? No they don’t have an easy schedule, they’re making their schedule LOOK easy because they’re that good. I mean Drake Maye is probably gonna finish second in MVP voting, and with what weapons to throw to? An over the hill Stefon Diggs and a bunch of JAGs at WR.

Other than that, they’re just so damn well coached and so good at the fundamentals. No superstars outside of Maye, just so good at execution and the little things that matter, in all three phases of the game. You would think people would love that and yet they get relentlessly hated on.

I mean they’re about to be 16-3 on the year and 2 of those losses were in September before they really started to find themselves. That’s exactly what’s wrong with sports media these days and Twitter makes it worse. People just care about the sexiness, the QBs, the superstars, the drama, every game has to be 45-40 and won in the last minute. Absolutely no appreciation for good coaching or good team execution

Diggs is still a legit WR, and Boutte has become one.

Vrabel is one of the best in the business.

That and all the other teams that beat the teams on their schedule.
Doesn't mean the Pats are bad but their schedule was definitely easy.

The statisticians

Not saying they aren’t a really good team, but you can’t argue the facts. Their SOS for the season was .391, 2nd easiest was Denver at .422.

The masses complaining about the chiefs dominating the afc for the last 8 years just for them to be replace by the pats who dominated the afc for most of our lives before Mahomes era.

It might be residual hatred from the Belichick-Brady dynasty.

Other than the Bills their schedule has been a joke, then they get a playoff choker Chargers, now a beat up Texans with an imploding QB, and then they get to face a Broncos QB who just lost their QB

I don’t think it matters. The Seahawks look unbeatable at this point. That could change of course
