Sometime earlier this year, a couple of the other writers and I were goofing off and said we should change the official slogan of the Pulpit to something like “Pats Pulpit: Cut the Sh*t”. The idea being that we’re not here to insult your intelligence with everything from “Brady’s arm is a noodle” to playing armchair Dr. James Andrews and throwing guesses out there about a torn MCL to whether or not Danny Amendola was apparently the glue holding the GRIT and FIGHT and HEART of the Patriots together all along.
Lunch pail fullback jokes aside, there haven’t been many takes in history that immediately hit freezing cold faster than Trent Dilfer burying the Patriots in 2014 after they got thrown out of the club in Kansas City, so fortunately, this time the one-time Super Bowl champ has something notably more useful to add to the convo than he did last time around.
