The refs were godawful.

Looks for a 7-10 season for the Pats. (Jets, Falcons, Colts, Jaguars and Dolphins).

Dolphins away with Tua, a newly confident Colts, even the Jaguars win now. And the Texans almost got us. So these five wins are not guaranteed.

But let say we manage an upset victory...7-10. That's a regress to last year despite all the spending. We got Hightower and Co. back (but traded Gilmore). And Mac Jones is not the problem.

I hope Kraft liberates us from Belichick.

I doubt the Pats will get to 7 wins. I think right now the Colts, Falcons and maybe the Dolphins would be favored over them. The Pats just aren’t that good on either side of the ball, they put up good fights and they could pull off an upset but they don’t have a lot of talent.

I think they have the talent (and this isn't a shot at Billychuck for once), they just need to put together a complete game. They looked great on D at times in this game, and that Cowboys team is stacked. They only needed one more stop. Mac Jones was out of this world until that one critical mistake late, and he bounced back from it immediately.

The running game came alive on that 4th quarter drive, if they can sustain that throughout a game much less the season (which is what we expected coming into the season), they'll be able to control the tempo of the game and really limit the scoring opportunities for the opponents by keeping them off the field. Sustain momentum on both sides of the ball (and no bonehead special teams miscues). They've been in all of these games.

Maybe they're just one of those teams that loses close games all year long, time will tell. If they are, sooner or later we have to start blaming the coach, right?
