a opet Bucky Brooks pise ovo:
However, the league shouldn't write up an obituary for the Patriots
just yet. The three-time champs have the ability to right the ship
prior to the postseason, and could be a dangerous foe for any of the
top AFC teams.
Their mid-season matchup with Indianapolis serves
as the prime example for their potency. The Patriots dominated the game
for the better part of three quarters before a series of miscues
allowed the Colts to come back in the end.
Regardless, the
Patriots walked away from the game knowing they could go toe-to-toe
with the AFC favorite on their home turf, and that confidence could
prove to be invaluable in the postseason.
In addition, the
team's much-maligned defense still ranks among the elite in total
defense (11th) and points allowed (7th) in spite of its failures.
Throw
in the presence of ultra-competitive Tom Brady and the masterful
schemes of Bill Belichick, the Patriots remain a team to be reckoned
with this season.
