And it just drives home how much all the preseason talk is. Remember when the Pats were going to be unstoppable 19-0 juggernauts? And while I'm not saying they're "really" 1-3, they nearly lost last week too against the Texans, who they normally crush like ants.
I think that you can also add the inconsistencies, the high highs and the low lows, of the young crop of QBs to that.
