Patriot’s Game
January 11, 2010 7:57 am Commentary, SportsThis past decade the Patriots regularly ground opponents into dust with cold efficiency. Team after team were left in shock. Then came the Superbowl superflub. Afterward Tom Brady got whacked. Now the Patriots are just another team.
The truth is worse.
Last night the Ravens ripped the Patriots apart. Much was attributed to the quality of the Ravens who played sharp and “to win”. The Patriots played like lamed octopi. Tom “Throwaway” Brady had some great receptions–to the Ravens. The defense was clownish. Why the Patriots were not in the game “to win” is strictly Belichek’s responsibility.
Most incredibly you got booed by your fans. That is bad, real bad. When you lose your fans–sitting in the deep cold—you have truly “lost”. Enjoy your season off, back amongst the mere mortals.
