Some thoughts on this Monday:
The Gap Between the Patriots and the Rest of the NFL is a Big One
1) Watching Sunday’s group of NFL contests yesterday was a frustrating reminder of the contrast between the New England Patriots and the rest of the league offensively, especially when it comes to the overall flow and the way they run their plays. In fact, the gap honestly feels more like a chasm at this point.
The biggest takeaway from Sunday’s slate of games was the fact the Patriots are light years behind other NFL teams when it comes to both their inability to protect the quarterback, as well as the design and execution of their plays, especially in various situations.
