It is what it is... They turn the ball over on D, or they struggle... There is rarely much in between...
TBH this has been one of their better games since the real downward slide started. The missed FG helped. But they did force 3 punts... If Josh is able to hit a wide open Knox and we don't false start this one is already likely out-of-reach for the Broncos. Especially if we had stopped the fake punt.
All year long with this D... Let's not kid ourselves... They had a 3rd and 8 to get off the field... Once again they fail on 3rd down, and if they don't take it away, they pay for it... It's takeaway or TD for this team lately...
This is a meaningless game... And it's hard not to at least argue that the best long term outcome may be the Pats losing the #1 overall pick... I mean... We'll see... They will still get a good player no doubt. But it could be a lot more...
