Lets go
They're fine.
Receiving corp is a bit depleted right now... when Amendola is healthy again and Gronk returns next week... their offense will begin to kick on all cylinders again.
They are in trouble. They beat the Jets by 3. Luckily for them they play in a shitty division. Though EJ will have the Bills at .500
Jets/Pats games are usually close. A win is a win and the Pats will be fine crusing to a 10-12 win season.
With the schedule they have they can still come off as the team with the best record in the AFC. But with no shot at winning a Superbowl. Now if the front office and management don't fix the lack of skill players they have at skill positions then we can talk regression. But who else in the AFC East can challenge them?
I've learned a few lessons in my life. And one of them, right alongside "don't piss on an electric fence" is "NEVER bet against Bill Belichick".
Every time I thought the Pats would regress, they somehow proved me wrong. So I'll not doubt him again.
