Can't get any worse

Dude, never say that. It can always get worse!

They have Edelman, Amendola and Gronk and they're playing the Browns. Their offense is fine; if you can get the rookies healthy for the playoffs, do that.

Could this be a "trap" game for the Pats though? Especially considering how they had to win their last 2 games

If they could just put the Petrone down for a day or two....

Hmm...If this is the worst it can get, it looks pretty bright!

Maybe a breakout game for Boyce?

Maybe? Last game was the classic trap game - coming off an emotional victory, playing against a Texans team more talented than their record. This game isn't, but of course the Browns have enough talent to be a threat with all the injuries.

Browns have a very good , very well-balanced defense. This has been a trap waiting for some time. Fortunately BB knows it, unfortunately, players don't always get it.....

True, but not likely. Pats are always in it, there is no such thing as worse so long as BB&B are there!
They do what they need to do.

Generally speaking, the Pats have proven they don't fall into the trap game mentality. They are ready for every game because they treat every opponent with lots of respect. Each game is a new day.

Texans played up to their opponent in the Pats game, I feel for them that they lost another one, but it was our team so F the Texans. Case in point, look at the Jaguars game yesterday - the Jags played up and the Texans down to their opponent.

Like all sports, if you are reasonably good you play better against strong competition. When a lesser opponent faces you, you tend to play worse.

Auston Collie comes in while we are (again) short on receivers. Knows the playbook and fills in nicely while ankles heal.....

You were saying?

 

[SDGuy73]

You were saying?

Which was exactly my point!

 

[redseat]

Well I guess I was right with calling this game a "trap" game....

Patriots played down to their competition yet again and should have lost

 

[Southieinnc]

I warned of Clevelands defense 2 weeks ago. No surprise here. good defense against an offense with 3 of the best receivers not playing. Recipe for a loss. I'm happy that we pulled it off.....
