Welcome to the Unconventional Review, an instant reaction to standouts, stats, and story lines from the Patriots’ most recent game . . .
It’s not so much that the Patriots are bad. That much we expected, and if we’re being totally honest, it’s necessary for a proper, full rebuild.
It’s that, five games into the season, they’re actually getting worse. Some bad teams can be kind of fun. This is turning into the kind of bad team that makes you wish halftime lasted a little bit longer and the clock would keep running under all circumstances.
