Can't blame the Pats Defense. This is the NovemberHawks after all. Their offense turns into a completely different beast November onwards. This pattern has been going on since 2012, so it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone anymore.

You'd make a terrible NFL coach.

"Guys, you couldn't stop them on any possession, except for that one time. But you know what? That's perfectly fine, because the other team is just that good. Let's go eat some ice-cream. It's on me."

Point I'm trying to make is, you can't just blame the Pats defense and not give the Seahawks offense credit at the same time. The Hawks played perfect football, and they deserve credit for that rather than a "Seattle of all teams can score, so you must be in trouble" type of statement.

Also, the Pats defense were not the only ones to blame. It was their offense that coughed up NE's 2 turnovers that ultimately cost them the game. And despite all of that, it was Tom Brady who couldn't punch the ball in when it mattered.
