Hell, NE lost 6-7 one possession games a season ago. NE has a top run defense from a year ago and if you're playing a not-so-good running team then there you have it. You're forcing a team to beat you one-dimensional. Add in Chase who hasn't even really practiced, a dropped TD, a fumble on the goal line and a fumble on a PR, well, now you're in at least a 10-13 point swing even with what everyone is claiming was a terribly-coached game by Taylor.
I think anyone of us had they come away with a W after falling behind 10-0 would have commended their character and said "even with" the dropped TD (maybe a bad call? ), a fumble on the goal line and another fumble deep in their own territory and yet they still win that this team has moxy, toughness, etc.
I am pretty sure they did overlook them. That team lost Bill Belichick and only won 4 games last season. Before the game I thought the only
way we lose is if Stevenson runs all over us and look what happened. You are correct that it was set up for them to actually give us a lot of
trouble with them being a good run Defense and us being a bad run Defense from last year.
I also agree that if we somehow did come out with a win in that one with all the bad play from us it would of been down right amazing.
Shot ourselves in the foot over and over and our QB was not himself and our tackling was horrid. To turn the ball over that much and still
only lose by 6 is honestly pretty wild lol
