The good teams find ways to win them.
But yes...Patriots we should beat. We had the Ravens game and played for the long fg and lost. Chiefs game was winnable.
But...we lost.
On paper, yes of course. But based on the actual game, I would say the better team on the day won. The Chiefs game is really the only loss where only ridiculousness cost us the W. I'd say we were the better team that day, but unlikely events meant we lost.
The other losses were all 'fair' based on how the game played out. The Ravens we lost to, because our defence was an absolute sieve.
Like you say, the good teams win those games and the bad teams don't. I hope we turn it around, but nothing about this season so far suggests we do.
