I’m just gonna say this now instead of waiting to see if it happens first:
If the Patriots lose by a slim margin it will basicslly be a perfect summary of their season and current state as a team.
In two close losses against Miami and Pittsburg, Brady was directly responsible for at least one very uncharacteristic horrible, points erasing decisions. He single handedly took a FG off the board before half in Miami (the miracle finish game), and had several terrible decisions against the Steelers.
That first half kind of sums up where Brady is at. He’s still Brady, he’s still good, but he made mistakes this year that we didn’t see nearly as often before.
We’ll see what happens, of course. Just can never throw a pick on the goal line.
