The New England Patriots are in unfamiliar territory. They have struggled so far this season in unprecedented fashion. Can they bounce back in Week 4?

This is definitely an interesting time to be a New England Patriots fan.

Everyone is used to the Patriots being dominating and having nothing to worry about. This past decade has been the golden era of fandom in New England. Success is now expected, and anything but a championship is a disappointment.

If the Patriots continue to play like they have this season there will be a lot of angry fans. New England has been dominated on every single aspect of the game. The defense can’t tackle anyone and the offense can’t score.

The Patriots have had rough starts to the season before, but this season seems different.

In the 2017 season, the Patriots got obliterated in Week 1 by the Kansas City Chiefs, but in Week 2 they got the W.

This season the Patriots have had two demoralizing losses and still haven’t recovered. A franchise that is known for bouncing back quickly seems to be stuck in neutral. If things don’t change quickly the Patriots entire season is in Jeopardy.

So Week 4 is an important game for the Patriots (when’s the last time you could say that). It’s basically a must win. Going down 3 games to the Miami Dolphins is not a position you want to put yourself in.

So here are 3 bold predictions for the Patriots in Week 4.
