Every season, the Patriots have a one game that makes everyone say, “What the?!” Yeah, the recent loss to The Cleveland Browns was definitely that game this season and even today, I look back on the game and just have way too many questions.
Did Tom Brady’s luscious locks get in the way of his seeing the open receivers?
Colt McCoy is a rookie right?
Did the Patriots defense decide that they were finally going to act their age?
That’s just a few of the things that came to mind. I know that the game is in the past and all of Patriot Nation has their sights set on the Steelers game in Pittsburgh for Sunday Night Football.
Am I nervous for this game? Of course, have you seen the Steelers defense lately?! If LB James Harrison hasn’t been haunting your helmet-to-helmet nightmares, you have been living under a rock.

Total Yards [4th] – 298.2 yards
Passing yards [24th] - 240 yards
Rushing Yards [1st] – 58.2 yards
The Patriots (OFFENSE):
Points Scored [2nd] – 27.4 points
Total Yards [20th] – 324.4 yards
Passing Yards [17th] 217.2 yards
Rushing Yards [15th] – 107.1 yards

THE Tom Brady. Or as Fitzy calls him, TFB. Yes, the f stands for exactly what you think it does. 
The morale of the team depends on this guy. As it should, he’s one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game. He’s the foundation of success for the Patriots. This goes without saying that he’s not perfect. His jawline might be but the great Brady throws picks and hell, even gets sacked a few times (ziiiing).
From what I saw of the Browns game, Brady was completely off on all of his 36 passes. They were too short, too long or just died mid-air. I’m not blaming it all on Brady, as it is also part of the receiver’s job to make the catch, no matter what. The Steeler’s …
