The idea that the Patriots mailed it in explains their road woes is completely inconsistent with the whole Patriot Way. BB demands accountability 100% of the time, and if he thought his team was mailing it in, mf'ers would have been cut the following Monday. Furthermore, if you look at 2016 and 2017, there are simply no games where the Patriots "mailed it in".
What's special about this year? Less talent on offense (for a variety of reasons) means they need perfect execution on offense to be their usual self, which is lots easier at home.
