Can we admit the Pats played a trash schedule now?

Yep. This really isn’t surprising.

Pats not taking it this year.

Way to frick up a good thing... here comes the comeback

Even considering the schedule, they’ve been insanely great.

But...yes.

Did that matter in their super bowl wins? What about when Clemson played Alabama and was sure to lose because of their “lesser” schedule....

A little early for this shite.

These threads never backfire

It’s aging fine. The Pats aren’t near as strong as usual, and their “defensive dominance” has been propped up by an oddly weak start of season schedule.

Sure they are a solid team but the 8-0 dominant force is a product of the schedule. They can cake walk to the playoffs and will likely get home field fairly easily

Their schedule until this point is literally, objectively very easy

Regardless of the outcome of the game, it’s obvious their schedule has been weak. They still the clear favorite in the AFC. But they can still have a weak schedule. Those records would look better if they all an another win instead of a loss.

Everybody who follows the NFL knows that the AFC North, except for the Pats, is a weak NFL division and has been that way for many years.
