Twenty Seven And Counting, Odds Are Not In The Patriots Favor.

Earlier this year the NFL came to an agreement with the NFLPA that if a team could not play. Both teams would be made to forfeit instead of moving games. The league broke that rule already but the NFL also has a history of sticking it to the Patriots. So they could flip flop again.

Currently the Jacksonville Jaguars have twenty seven players listed on the covid protocol list. And while the league has yet to cause any game to be forfeited by any teams, there's still a chance and a forfeit would eliminate the Patriots from the playoffs. It would only take a few more Jaguars to make that happen.

Will this happen, I don't know but this is still the same league that appealed a supreme court judge's decision that they had to be fair when suspending a player with no evidence and won the right to be bias due to the CBA. So regardless if I think it will happen or not, it could happen and that is worrisome enough.

Even if the Patriots don't make the superbowl, making the playoffs does wonders for the morale of the franchise and Mac Jones. Media will forget that the league costed the Patriots and will put it on Belichick and Jones. The Patriots reputation is at stake. If the Patriots fail to make the post season, papers will say Bill is done and call for his retirement. They will leave out the league's rigging of the playoff birthing. 

So every Patriots fan should be paying attention because Roger the clown Goodell and his cronies can strike at any moment and there's little Robert Kraft can do. Trust in Bill but never turn our backs on the commish. Happy new year my patriots family. Let's hope it's allowed to kick off right.
