During the incredible and seemingly endless Patriots dynasty of two full decades you always knew the day would come. You know of the day I’m talking about–the day the Patriots were just…..average?
Average might be a generous term after the Patriots were beat down by Jimmy Garoppolo and the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, 33-6, the worst home loss in Bill Belichick’s coaching tenure in Foxboro.
That escalated quickly.
We knew the day was coming, but this quickly? The Patriots crossroads is seen clearly through the lens of the quarterback position. The guy that left Foxboro after 20 years and six Super Bowls led his first place team to another win yesterday.
