00:00Another Patriots win 6-2. 6-2!
00:04I remember saying 7. 7 a lot before the start of the season.
00:08I said 6 or 7. I thought all the youth and the lack of depth
00:11and it all made sense to me. I said 6 or 7 wins at the beginning of the season.
00:16And I remember saying it confidently, even
00:20smugly. 7. 7 wins. And with the caveat
00:24we should be thrilled with that. As a Patriots fan you should be
00:28thrilled with 7 wins because by my math
00:32that more than doubles their win total from last year. As I've said many times
00:36I do not count the win against Buffalo.
00:38I don't. When a team lets you win then you don't get to count that win.
00:43You don't get to think of that as having a win.
00:46Or at the very least you can look on it optimistically and positively and say
00:51we really only had 3 wins last year so if you get 7 this year
00:55you've more than doubled your win total. They're at 6.
00:58They're at 6-2.
00:59It was such an encapsulation of the 2024 Patriots
01:03in that last game.
01:05Even when you wanted to lose, the other team
01:07was better at that than you.
01:09The Bills scored at their 3rd string quarterback.
01:12I said 9.
01:13That was my prediction. I had them in the playoffs
01:15before this season. But I want to go back
01:17to something I said I think right here
01:19in February. We were talking about
01:21the Commanders making that run to the NFC
01:23championship game. I said they got a lot of money to spend.
01:26I think they have a quarterback.
01:27They need a ton of help. They're going to need a lot of luck.
01:30Doesn't seem so crazy now
01:31does it? No it does not.
01:33And it's the same outline right? It's the new coach
01:35new coach energy. The free agents who
01:37are all veterans. Some of whom are probably
01:39still overpaid. But they're the
01:41right guys in the locker room.
01:43You plug your holes. You amplify your strengths.
01:46Christian Gonzalez finally yesterday
01:47is coming around to form.
01:49If you would say the Patriots are going to start 6-2
01:51when that dude misses 3 games and the next
01:534 doesn't look like himself
01:55he would have said yeah they're probably 500.
01:57And the defense has been top 10
02:00since he got back.
02:01Not because of him but everyone else around him.
02:03Spillane also did not have
02:05a good start the last 3 weeks has been
02:07tremendous. So much better. Again that was one of
02:09the stats we had after week 2.
02:12He had missed more tackles than he had made.
02:14And now granted that pick was
02:15an early Christmas gift.
02:16That was a treat like
02:18all the kids are going to find here in a week going around
02:20in their costumes for him. Just here you go
02:22from Dylan Gabriel. But the point is
02:24him, you look at Milton Williams
02:26who had a past deflection.
02:28Caleb on chase on has been a monster on the edge.
02:30That was a flyer deal that they took.
02:31They've almost all hit.
02:33And that's what you need.
02:34If you want a surprise you've got to get guys
02:35who you get either on a bargain
02:37or who meet the level of the contract
02:39in addition to of course the coach
02:41and the quarterback.
02:41And that's what you need to do.
02:42And that's what you need to do.
02:43And that's what you need to do.
02:43And that's what you need to do.
02:44And that's what you need to do.
02:45And that's what you need to do.
02:46And that's what you need to do.
02:47And that's what you need to do.
02:48And that's what you need to do.
02:49And that's what you need to do.
02:50And that's what you need to do.
02:51And that's what you need to do.
02:52And that's what you need to do.
02:53And that's what you need to do.
02:54And that's what you need to do.
02:55And that's what you need to do.
02:57And that's what you need to do.
02:58And that's what you need to do.
