I'm your host Ian Hartson. Today we continue our 32 for 32 series with a look at the new England

Patriots. I was all in on this team last year. I could not accept the reality where Bill

Bell check would not be leading the NAFC East Division champ and I was wrong, ladies and gentlemen.

So Camden season seemed like it wasn't false. So that's Seahawks game was maybe my favorite

60 minutes of the football season. I just say 59 minutes and 55 seconds Patriots come

out. I mean, they have some losses, but you know what? By week 13, even though came out

COVID, even though they had the Seahawks loss, Broncos loss with a late incompletion of

Bill's fumble. It was a six and 16. That's we couldn't quite tell if they were maybe

a competitor or a contender, excuse me, or a pretender. 45 nothing went over the charges.

We seem like a contender. Three straight losses in weeks 14 to 16. That kind of painted a more

clear picture of what this team was working with with that said. Nobody would sit harder

with preseason opt outs. Obviously, we came learning his first year. We saw the difference

in Brady. He wasn't doing it the best weapons. So not more than one or two teammates away

from being a legit contender, obviously, but not all bad with the Patriots. I have a very

special guest on day two. Help me figure it out. Just what went wrong in 2020? What

we need to fix going into 2021, you can find him over at SB Nation, specifically at Pat's

Polk with dot com, writing all about the Patriots. He is burned bookmaster. You can follow

on Twitter at burn bookmaster. That's B E B E R and D B U C H M S S E R burn happy off

season. We both had pretty funky last names, but here we are in February. Great day to

be great, right?

I mean, absolutely. There's there's so much to talk about despite it being the offseason.

So what could be worse, a lot of things, but obviously, um, great to, great to join you.
