FOXBOROUGH – The Patriots should be about losing. Play just well enough to compete, but just bad enough to lose.
This was mentioned in a Globe article Sunday morning. This season should be more about a high draft pick next year, not trying to win and damage their draft position. If you the Patriot fan also feel this way, you got exactly what you wanted on Sunday afternoon at Gillette Stadium.
Presented with a beatable 3-5 Washington Commanders team, with a quarterback you likely have never heard of, at home in front of a still-friendly crowd, this was a game the Patriots should have won.
