Fan Notes from the Patriots’ 34-0 loss to the Saints

In the words of Lloyd Christmas as he noticed some gentlemen enjoying their Big Gulps: “Welp, see ya later.”

The 2023 New England Patriots season has, for all intents and purposes, come to an end. The team is sitting at 1-4 after yet another blowout loss, this time a shutout at home, and even without a stacked AFC they haven’t shown a thing that makes me think they’ll be anything remotely resembling a contender this year. I came into the season sincerely believing that the Patriots could get into the playoffs as a wild card, go on the road and get a win, and if enough went their way they might pull off a divisional round upset.
