It’s time, once again, to erroneously bury the Patriots

COMMENTARY

It’s not like we haven’t been here before.

If you want to bury the New England Patriots, go right ahead.

I’m out.

Oh, the evidence to the contrary is quite revealing in the face of Sunday night’s problematic loss to the Houston Texans, but we should still recognize the landmarks from being around this block more than a few times over the years.

Maybe all of Tom Brady’s erupting frustrations with his wide receiver corps is worse than the Patriots’ nearly-flawless record managed to cloak.

Maybe Brady’s age (he’s 42, you know) is finally starting show, giving him confirmation that his career is winding down.
