32nd ranked O-Line Chargers, CJ Stroud with the worst QB game of the year, and a backup QB, off the heels of the easiest schedule in the past 30 years. I’m sorry dude, but this “we weren’t supposed to” bullshit is so stupid. You WERE supposed to win those games. This is the first game all season aside from that first Bills game where you aren’t supposed to win.
It’ll depend on the context of the win obviously, if Darnold breaks his leg on the first snap, it’s not the same thing as beating Seattle straight up. But for what I think you’re asking, if the Pats go out there and thoroughly outplay the Seahawks playing at their best, then congrats, the Pats proved it.
Like I’m sorry, but compare the offensive and defensive talent across the board with Seattle. It’s just not close. The only aspect of the Patriots that I think is better than the Seahawks is QB play, and even then, Darnold has been balling out all playoffs while Maye has been shaky at best.
