Bedard on Patriots outlook

Transcript

00:00uh i mean look their schedule is their schedule i i'm while you're looking this up i would just

00:05say enjoy it because in recent years they couldn't even beat these suck teams would you rather be two

00:09and five facing a hard and be battle tested and out of the playoffs or in the playoffs and

00:14complaining well who have they really faced and that a better place to be that second thing yeah

00:19and you're hoping you take advantage of the schedule by you know like i was talking about

00:24before um you know dialing up some things tightening some things up so that when you

00:29get into these big games uh you know that you're ready to go and you're you're executing at a higher

00:34level um so yeah you'd much rather be here i mean i don't think any of us would look at this season so

00:41far in this win streak and you know look back and compare it to 2021 because of the quarterback i

00:46mean it's a completely different they had a better defense i would say back then um you know they had

00:53a better offensive line they had a running game mac jones was a game manager you know that sort of

00:57thing um you know but they went on a long winning streak but they went seven games that season in a

01:04row and you know they were the number one seed and everybody you know was getting geared up for the

01:09playoffs and then all of a sudden they fell on their face in the last month of the season uh got

01:13blown out in the playoffs and so um you know you just hope you the quarterback has gotten you to

01:21this point he's been winning games he's elevating people around him now is the opportunity to the

01:28rest of the team to raise up and i i think we see some indications of that but it needs to be a lot

01:34better if they're going to be like a true playoff team not just one of these teams where everybody

01:39looks at and be like that team hasn't played anybody they're garbage you know they're going to

01:43lose in the first round you get that every year but um the patriots have a chance especially with

01:48some of the games down the stretch some of the games that are looking that i think will look better

01:53when we get there like cincinnati like the ravens where you know you'll be able to sort of send a

01:59message and and gain even more confidence going into the postseason
