COMMENTARY
Some lips in Foxborough were easy to read from your living room on Sunday. For instance, Patriots special teamer Brenden Schooler…well, what a mouth on that young man.
You could understand Schooler’s frustrations though. It was an inept day for New England special teams, aiding the Washington Commanders (can we get a better name than one that sounds like our video game company didn’t bid enough for league naming rights?) to a 20-17 win over the two-win Pats.
It was sloppy. It was ugly. But what did you expect?
It’s less certain what the context was for Jonathan Kraft’s own lip-reading admission, when FOX cameras caught the team president telling his father, “We’re not good enough,” this while the Patriots held a seven-point lead over Washington in the third quarter.
