Between being on vacation the last two weeks and the Pats next opponent still being uncertain I feel like we just hit a mini mid-season void here.
Really we haven’t learned too much about the Patriots since the 49ers game. They flash from dominant to invisible from game to game and often, drive to drive. Is there a chance they can put it all together for three games to glory? Sure.
But they’ll need to be clutch, and that’s something that has gone absent on the biggest stages at times over the past few seasons.
There’s one thing that won’t happen though…the Patriots will not be blown out. Every game they play over the next month will be close.
If they lose it will be because the other team just outplayed them in the final five minutes and they’ll lose by one to six points. It’s really just that simple.
Here the best of the week for Saturday morning…
