This thread feels a bit like sky is falling after a loss on the road to a good team. As someone else mentioned they have beat really good teams this year like the chiefs and Texans and bears. Even the rams had a pretty crappy loss tonight and the Texans squeaked by the jets yesterday. We certainly are not the favorites but saying it is time to rebuild strikes me as pretty strange. I also think next year will be Brady’s last season
The Steelers aren't a good team, though. They've lost to a lot of crappy teams this season.
The Pats, unfortunately, are also bad. Worse, the Pats seem to be trending down instead of up.
Earlier this season, they had a good offense with a problematic defense.
Lately, the offense has been uncreative, with lots of short yardage plays. They've had a lot of trouble generating touchdowns in the red zone. They are really bad at converting third downs.
The special teams have also been a letdown with missed field goals, penalties, and of course the blown final play against Miami.
