False. They are an amazing team, but for whatever reason they've been really struggling lately. Though they've been sloppy recently doesn't mean anything about overall skill.
People seem to forget that the entire Pats team is run of the mill, mid level players, none of them are especially exceptional on their own, and look at them now, they ****ing kick ass.
That and I would not be surprised if they were doing it on purpose. I mean people are fickle and they suffered a lot of backlash for running up the score in other games before. People were losing interest in watching a game that ended 38-0 or whatever. At least they're keeping it interesting, though waaaay too close for comfort imo. 😬
