I know no one at Gillette sat down once during the Bengals or Broncos games, so yes, it’s been nice to see the fans rally around the team. Really, it was all pretty silly even after the Kansas City blowout. I never lost faith or believed any of the over-reactionary takes.
How many decades do we have to go before people start to see the trend – the Patriots are usually just okay early in the season. They experiment. They lose to bad teams. But slowly but surely they always come around as we cross into November and December.
But it is nice to see the fan base get defensive over their team and circle the wagons around Brady. Hopefully we can all continue to bring that kind of energy now that everyone is back on the Pats’ bandwagon.
Just as things weren’t as bad as many would’ve had you believe in September, this Pats team isn’t going to play near-perfect football every game for the rest of the season. There will be more adversity to overcome, but I remained assured they have the composition to overcome just about anything.
