Welcome to the Unconventional Review, an instant reaction to standouts, stats, and story lines from the Patriots’ most recent game . . .
Had the whole second half to think about this, to consider and reconsider, and so I’m confident this is true:
The Patriots’ 47-17 loss to the Bills Saturday night is the most embarrassing playoff loss of Bill Belichick’s 22 years in charge.
For a dozen years, that dishonor belonged to the 2009 Patriots, who gave up an 83-yard touchdown run on the first play from scrimmage and fell behind, 24-0, in the first quarter in their 33-14 loss to the Ravens in the wild-card round.
