| 0:00.0 | Hey, what's up everybody? |
| 0:13.1 | Welcome into Tom Current's Patriots Talk podcast featuring Phil Perry. |
| 0:17.7 | This is The Aftermath. |
| 0:20.3 | And it's the aftermath of a 26 to 20 Patriots win. |
| 0:23.8 | A road win usually cause for celebration, especially if the club gets to 10 and 2. |
| 0:28.2 | It has the best record in the National Football League. |
| 0:31.5 | But the combination of the tightness of the victory, the expectation that the Patriots are going to be good and it should have been |
| 0:39.0 | a walkover, at least a perceived expectation on the part of Mike Frable, and the injuries |
| 0:43.6 | suffered caused some seeming angst for the head coach after the game and a little bit of |

Or do they hold it, juggle it, smash it on the ground? And I don't know if you really do that with adversity or not. But, Phil, to me, this is the adversity that you knew was going to come. They've had an easy schedule. |
| 1:44.8 | They've had great good fortune because they've taken care of themselves and trained well, |
| 1:48.8 | and their nutritional staff has done a great job, and they haven't been laid low by injuries. |
| 1:53.6 | But since working through mid-July into the end of November, they got hit with a spate. |
| 1:58.2 | You're already missing Milton Williams. |
