Perhaps, they are just well coached, hold each other accountable, and have a legacy of greatness that they all work real hard to uphold? I know it is hard to imagine that having seen the garbage our favorite franchise has rolled out the past 2 decades.Patriots’ Penalty Differential, 2011–2017
New England Penalties vs. Opponents'
13% less in regular season
25% less in post season
New England Penalty Yards vs. Opponents'
10% less in regular season
35% less in post season.
This sample isn’t especially small, either, as the Patriots have played 17 playoff games since 2011. That total yields more data than a team accumulates in a full regular season, and throughout league history, only about one team per year has gained such a disparate penalty yardage advantage as the Patriots have in recent postseasons.
yes, it's rigged to benefit the pats by the nfl oficials .
With that oline I'm not sure it matters who you put back there.
Disagree, but we already have about 8 threads on the subject. No need to hijack this one.I have no doubt we hold them to not a lot of points ... but our front line has been bad thus far

They've been outscored 102-10 so far. Yikes
Look I hope I don't jinx anything, but it's basically a college team. Anyone who's got a tweaked knee or muscle can sit, and our top boys can hopefully be resting in the second half.
No jinx...it's true BUT they have guys playing for their very lives. If they get cut, they don't have many options. They'll be desperate and therefore dangerous, SO...I'd start all my guys IF healthy for one Qtr. and then bring in every reserve including Rush. I mean, it could end up a ten pt. game but they are horrific.
