Their fundamentally sound, but they haven't won anything as of yet. They've had moments against weak competition who at times were missing top talent.
What's their signature win? ***** by a FG after 3 TO's and a flag fest? Bucs? Bengals without Burrow? Pitt beat them and we saw how the Steelers played yesterday. I see them as last years Broncos. Their a feel good story feasting on a easy schedule reminiscent of the Steelers in 2020 starting 12-0 only to get smacked in their first postseason game. I expect the same for NE.
This isn’t sour grapes. They have a solid core and will be a force in the following years. I just feel everything for them will come to a head once the competition gets real.
