Are the Patriots the best 2-4 team in the NFL or what? Too bad “Almost” wasn’t an official stat right after W-L-T. It would inform when a team almost had it, and were maybe a play or two away from pulling off a win. Of course it would be useless as the Colts’ “2014 AFC Finalist” banner, and just as ridiculed, so maybe not such a good idea after all. Never mind.
Ever since I lowered the expectation bar for 2021, I’ve been enjoying watching these Patriots even more. Every time they make a terrific play on any side of the ball I’m out of my seat cheering.
