New England Patriots Embarrassed Again, 34-0 by Saints

Transcript

00:00 The New England Patriots thought they had put last week's lopsided road loss to the

00:06 Dallas Cowboys behind them, but no, the lopsidedness, is that a word?

00:11 Is chasing the Patriots back to New England and it happened again today.

00:16 The Saints crushed the Patriots 34 to nothing in an outcome and an outing so awful that

00:24 at halftime Tom Curran, the longtime Patriots analyst, and his TV crew were tallying it

00:31 shockingly bad and a tipping point and blaming Bill Belichick, just like the fan base is

00:37 increasingly doing, and it was only halftime.

00:42 One of the issues brought up on that program was a chronic lack of preparedness and yes,

00:49 here we Patriots went again.

00:51 Now at one and four, seemingly prepared, if that's the right word, to spend the year getting

00:57 lapped by the likes of the Dolphins and maybe the Bills too in the division.

01:02 Belichick and company needed to cram to find some answers here.

01:05 Maybe they did cram, but studying isn't enough if you stink.

01:10 And against the Saints, who boast a tough enough defense, and they showed that off here,

01:15 the Patriots offense absolutely reeked.

01:18 Entering this game, New England had scored just 33 total points this season through four

01:22 games.

01:23 Now it's five games and New England has still just scored 55 total points on the season.

01:31 This is a lot of laughing matter to Patriots fans.

01:33 This is not a laughing matter all the way up to the owner, Robert Kraft.

01:36 At the beginning of the season, of course, Mr. Kraft talked about expectations regarding

01:41 coach Bill Belichick and this team making the playoffs.

01:44 Those expectations at this point would appear to have no chance of being met, which means

01:51 an increased chance that the Bill Belichick era in New England is on a slow track to nowhere.

02:03 Final score 34 to nothing at Gillette.

02:07 The Saints dismantle the Patriots.

02:09 Fish out.
