Patriots used to lose all of their games in September just to go on 10 game win streaks and it did work for them. Are we sold on Zac's preseaon plan now?

I think it was really easy to question it early on, but who is to say that 3 all new pieces immediately gel if they played some of the preseason games, and it doesn't even factor that Burrow's appendix actually RUPTURED.  I'm so damn tired of hearing:  "I  had an appendectomy and went to work a few days later".  When an organ ruptures there is a HUGE risk of sepsis in the blood and could be FATAL.  That is why he had the IV antibiotic for some time after the surgery.

There is no way those two things couldn't have a huge impact on how the season would start.  And it isn't like they got blown out in those first two games.  An injured long snapper is something that was so rare, but it cost them week 1.

The bottom line?  Zac has earned the trust to do whatever the hell he thinks is best for this team.  The players responded to it and they have proven his plan works.
