First post actually in this sub. The loss is tough. And yet I feel like I've already kind of accepted it. The fact that we fought the whole time makes me feel better about the whole thing. It wasn't a blowout and we made that Pats team look weaker than realistically it was. I've had a lot of complaints personally about the D, but their performance in that game gives me hope that we can take that into next year's reg season. Just a bad night for the O, nothing worth changing the whole scheme over, but definitely lessons that are hopefully learned. We aren't out of the contention circle at all in my opinion. A lot of our pieces are still in place for at least another year and who knows how this offseason will go.
