Honestly, the Patriots offense might be almost as bad as their defense is great. Even with these garbage teams that they're playing (must be nice being Super Bowl champs and getting the easiest schedule in the league), and the defense constantly giving them every advantage they can ask for, that offense can't get much going for like 3 quarters at a time.

That's a reach and a half. We're talking about the Patriots offense having a few issues, we didn't say they were the Chicago Bears.

The Patriots offense has massive issues. Especially on the line, which is a revolving door at this point. We're talking about a unit that's constantly given the ball in great positions by their defense, and yet can still barely manage to actually go score, even facing the worst teams in the league. How much offense are the Patriots actually generating as a result of their own good play, vs just being gifted points by the opposition? Not a whole lot as far as I can tell. Sure enough, with Tom Brady's savvy play, good coaching adjustments, and the oppositions' mostly terrible defenses eventually wearing down you guys end up with numbers that look respectable on paper….but if we're being real, your offense is a hot mess. 

I guess saying it's almost as bad as your defense is great was a bit hyperbolic, but it sure as hell isn't very good.
