00:00There's going to be a lot of digesting.

00:02As I said, I think some people are going to think the Patriots got a little conservative,

00:05but you heard it right there.

00:06Mike Grable said we didn't really have the ball, and that was the issue.

00:09If you want to really wonder what's going on with this defense, because I feel like

00:14this defense gets borderline worse by the week, and I don't love that trend.

00:18Now, I know you were going against the best rushing attack, so there's a reason maybe

00:22you were giving up rushing yards in chunks and James Cook is having a 1,300-yard season

00:26and all those things.

00:27Because that defense is becoming a little bit more concerning for me when you start

00:32to talk about the playoffs.

00:34Also, we do need to acknowledge you fell to 11-3, correct?

00:38The Bills are 10-4.

00:40You go to Baltimore, you play them, like you lose.

00:43This could get interesting down the stretch.

00:45You could go from the number one seed to playing on wildcard weekend as a road team.

00:49Like, there's a lot up in the air because you need to take care of your business now.

00:55You drop this one, there's no shame.

00:57No shame in this loss, in my opinion.

00:59Now you need to right the ship and make sure you don't have a losing streak.

01:02You haven't had a losing streak all year, right?

01:04You need to make sure you don't, because if you have a losing streak, now you're talking

01:08about trouble.

01:08Now you're talking about playing wildcard weekend, playing wildcard weekend on the road,

01:12all those things.

01:12And Andy, don't get me going on, and we're all kinds of excited here on the Six Rings

01:16post-game show.

01:17Obviously, a little bit disappointed, but far from elated, but encouraged by many aspects

01:22of the game.

01:226-1-7, 7-7-9, 7-9-3-7.

01:25Encouraged by aspects of the game.

01:27Encouraged by the effort the team put forth.

01:29Drake, obviously, with far from his best game of the season as well.

01:32But again, the second-year quarterback trying to win an MVP, but most importantly, trying

01:36to get his team in the postseason, needs to learn.

01:39And sometimes we learn, as Bruce Wayne's dad taught us, why do we fall down, Bruce?

01:43To learn how to pick ourselves up again.

01:45So maybe this is that kind of day for Drake May and the Patriots, especially on offense

01:49after they had that 24-7 lead.
