I Still Believe Anything Can Happen

So. Synthetic marijuana.

I did not see that one coming.

 
Who are these guys? Do they look like the Patriots? They finished the season on a losing streak. Finish strong? After starting 9-0-0, they finished 3-3-0. They're the most injured team in the NFL. Wait. That's the same. Chandler Jones is stumbling shirtless into police stations. Gronk is getting injections in his knee (or he didn't). But he hurt his back. But he's going to play. Amendola and Jules are practicing but they're still limited. Vollmer is practicing… Why is there no update on Hightower!? And what is with Bill Belichick's black eye? Not even some bullshit story about walking into a door? The boxing gloves were a nice touch, of course.

It's hard to avoid the comparisons to the 2013 Patriots, who finished their season bruised and beaten in Denver.

That's if they can hold home field in this Saturday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. You remember the Chiefs. The last time the Patriots played the Chiefs they had their metaphorical asses handed to them.

I'll be honest. I'm having a hard time having a good feeling about this. Maybe Edelman will come back and dominate. Maybe Gronk will be fine. Maybe Steven Jackson will surprise with a huge day. Maybe Hightower will be good enough. Maybe Chandler Jones will play for redemption and forgiveness. Jamie Collins could do Jamie Collins things. Jabaal Sheard could show everyone just how happy he isn't in Cleveland any more. The defense could win this game all on their own. It could happen.

It could happen.

Where are my ruby red slippers?

This will only work if I click the heels of my ruby red slippers together three times when I say it.

It could happen.
