I did not imagine that we would make it to the AFCCG at the start of this season. Not with starting 3 rookies on D. Not with Bell suspended 3 games. Not with Bryant suspended for the season.
Could we have won yesterday, of course. However, it does not diminish where this team stands, and with a legit OLB and with Cam back next year, and Bryant back next year, this team will improve greatly. Will they be SB bound next year, I think so.
I am not going to let the sting of a horrible loss negate where this team stands. If we could have gotten off to a better start (Coates, we are looking at you), there is no telling how the end result changes. However, trying to play catch up in Foxborough, is nearly an impossible task.
Oh well, there is always next year.
