The problem for the Pats is they had no one to throw the ball to, at least no one that could catch it and do damage. They had no one to punish the middle of the defensive line on the ground with Dillon out so they couldn't take advantage of Pitt's missing NT. The Pats defensive secondary is beat to crap, too. On top of all that, Pitt had two weeks to prepare and did a phenomenal job.
I'm a huge Pats fan, but they deserved to lose that game. They made too many mistakes, dropped passes, stupid penalties, turnovers, etc. This game was either a wake up call for them or it's the beginning of the end of their amazing success. Time will tell.
That all said, it was only one game, there's nine more to play. I think the Pats will see Ben and his boys in the playoffs.
