The Patriots once again got embarrassed on the field, this time against the New Orleans Saints, getting blanked 34-0 in Gillette Stadium. They weren’t facing a juggernaut-type team here, but a Saints team that had lost two in a row and whose offense had struggled.
The back-to-back 30+ point losses are the first time that this has happened to the Patriots since 1970. In my opinion, that team was the worst team in the Patriots’ history, even worse than the Rod Rust 1-15 team. That in itself is not a good omen.
The offense has scored 20, 17, 15, 3, and 0 points in the five games.
