Sunday 7: How patient will be Patriots fans be in 2020?

1. This is going to be a fascinating year when it comes to the Patriots and their fan base. For the first time in nearly 20 years, they in all likelihood will not be among the best teams in the AFC, so how patient will the fans be? If the team is 2-3 (which is possible given its schedule) going into the bye week, will they stay with the team and second-year player Jarrett Stidham, or potentially flip to the Buccaneers and Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski, who very well could be 4-1 at that point in the calendar?
