Weeks 1-5: New England Patriots (Mac Jones Era)

[bradygirl_12]

Okay, so a quick recap to catch up:

Week 1: Miami Dolphins 17, New England Patriots 16 (0-1) (Sunday, September 12, 2021

Last-minute fumble kills a possible game-winning drive. Rookie QB Mac Jones looks pretty good.

Week 2: New England Patriots 25, New York Jets 6 (1-1) (Sunday, September 10, 2021)

Jets are awful. 'Nuff said. ;)

Week 3: New Orleans Saints 28. New England Patriots 13 (1-2) (Sunday, September 26, 2021)

Patriots a total mess. Penalties and turnovers! Mac still looking good for a rookie, so there's that.

Week 4: Tampa Bay Buccaneers 19, New England Patriots 17 (1-3) (Sunday, October 3, 2021)

THE game of the season! Tom returns to Foxboro. :)

Belichick's defense keeps Tom in check and Patriots have a chance to win it at the end, but kick doinks off the goalpost. Not Folk's fault: raining hard and well over 50 yards!

Tom and Bill talk in private for nearly half an hour after the game, clearing the air.

Week 5: New England Patriots 25, Houston Texans 22 (2-3) (Sunday, October 10, 2021)

Four out of five starters not playing on the O-line. Struggling game but a win!

AFC EAST

BUFF 4-1

NE 2-3

Miami 1-4

NYJ 1-4

Next week, Dallas comes to town!

The Patriots record is a real reminder of how football is a game of inches. There are so many games including the following Cowboys one that could've gone a different way. They could easily be 6-2 or 7-1 had a few bounces gone their way.

That made me happy. I know there was a lot of talk and jokes about how brief their handshake was but those two were never going to give anything to the media/public. My sister and I were always like "no matter how the game goes they are going to have a brief handshake and part ways" so the talk in the locker room was a pleasant surprise. Seems like BB was the one to reach out and plan it so that was nice.
