Cs losses to Lakers and Nets, Pats losing to the Dolphins. Tough last few days to be a fan
Don't forget the abomination that the Bruins have been during their last few games. This week was awful for Boston fans all the way around.
As for the Pats, I'm bummed they lost today but can't say I'm surprised they did. Despite what they say, there's no way they gave it 100% today—but I don't blame them for being conservative, given the rotten injury luck they've had. I really do think their general plan for a while has been to get as healthy as possible as soon as possible, and if that means sacrificing the No. 1 seed, then so be it.
That said, I'm not feeling great about New England's chances. They usually struggle after two-week layoffs, and Edelman didn't get a chance to shake the rust during the end of the regular season. And even if NE has all its receivers in good form come the playoffs, it's anybody's guess how well the O-line will hold up. Time will tell.
