Fifteen thoughts on the Patriots’ 35-30 loss to the Seahawks …
1. The Patriots couldn’t quite complete the comeback Sunday night, with Cam Newton getting tackled short of the end zone on the final play. Perhaps there will be sports-radio carping about that final play call, or concerns about a defense that allowed Russell Wilson to throw touchdown passes to five different receivers. It was a tough loss to a tough Seattle team. But unless you’re part of the entitled, perpetually aggrieved “U Mad Bro?’’ element of the fan base, I can’t imagine there is any other lasting emotion about the state of the Patriots this morning other than giddiness about what could be to come.
