I knew the Pats had a cupcake schedule, but I don't think I realized it was HISTORICALY easy like this. Good lord.
The 2025 Patriots played the easiest schedule (in terms of opponent combined win percentage) by ANY team since 1999. Third easiest schedule in the last 50 years. They only beat one winning team in the regular season lol
Not to mention they played 11 games vs teams who aren't returning their head coach. Most ever in history.
Ooof
yeah but what's the rhetoric gonna be if/when we slap the hawks?
e/ also I cope read that as "Patriots beat teams so bad with their roster that the coaches of those teams were fired."
In all seriousness though, it is fortunate, but not super relevant to me considering nothing can be done about it and injuries happen every season to every team.
Are we really viewing football in hypotheticals now? Seems weird. Team A would have beat Team B if Team A actually scored more points!
