Packers 45, Patriots 27

 

I've watched a lot of football games in my life. I'm an old man, and I've seen pro football, semi-pro, Canadian League, USFL, college, and high school games. I've even seen rugby and soccer, man. Having established that, yesterday's Patriots game against the Packers was one of the worst, least-satisfying football games I've ever seen.

Drake Maye was intercepted three times. Two of those interceptions resulted in Green Bay touchdowns. He was sacked four times. As a team, the Pats only rushed for 94 yards, with star running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushing for only 32. 

The game was painful to watch and difficult to sit through. I've seen David Spade movies that were easier to watch than this game.

The Patriots fall to 5-4 but are still in second place in the AFC East, indicating what a shit-show the division has become. I mean, we're bad, but not as bad as the Jets (2-7) or the Dolphins (1-7).

Next game, if you can stomach it, is in Germany, for some fucking reason, against the Detroit Lions (6-2), who are three-point early favorites. Kickoff is at 9:30 in the goddamn morning, so if you get drunk enough Saturday night, chances are good you can sleep through much of this one.
