All that said, they usually come out slow and Belichick coaches 'em up. Not having Edelman hurts like crazy, and the Patriots are still adjusting a bit to alot of new pieces on both sides of the ball. Last week the Patriots had three starters on defense out.
But yeah, some BAD football getting played in Foxboro right now.
Best/worst stat (depending on your point of view): The Patriots lost back to back games by 10+ points for the first time since 2002. That's a ridiculous stat to show how consistently good they've been for so long....and for why they may not be all that good this year. Time will tell.

The Patriots will fix things and finish a rare 11-5...only to lose in the playoffs to KC
