The No So Bad

In sloppy weather conditions, there is not too much to point out as bad for the New England Patriots in their 13-9 victory over the Dallas Cowboys.

Yes, every Patriots fan wishes Tom Brady and the offense will put up 30-plus points a game, but right now they don’t have to light up the scoreboard to win games and that is a good thing.

The good news for the offense is that Isaiah Wynn did appear to stabilize the offensive line a bit, which opened some holes for Sony Michel in this game.  With both Mohamed Sanu and Phillip Dorsett out, Brady did establish a little bit of a connection with rookie wide receivers N’Keal Harry and Jakobi Meyers.

In all, the New England Patriots should have a nice offensive core once everyone is healthy and on the field at the same time.  Until then, we are really not going to know what the offense is capable of.  Yes, we are getting late in the season, but there is no team better than reinventing themselves late in the season and into the playoffs than the New England Patriots.
