As our esteemed college Brian Phillips said, the New England Patriots are off to the most disastrous 4-0 start. After annihilating the then-winless Pittsburgh Steelers, Miami Dolphins, and New York Jets, the Patriots looked mortal on the road against the 3-0 Buffalo Bills, scraping out an ugly 16-10 victory to remain undefeated.

But should we even really be worried? Who were the Patriots missing on offense? Didn’t the defense still play at a high level? Aren’t the Bills actually one of the best defenses in the NFL? Wasn’t New England on the road against a divisional rival?

Anything could have happened, and the Patriots won. The only real concern should be the status of Stephen Gostkowski, who continues to struggle with missed kicks.

Alec and Rich cover it all. This podcast is available in the iTunes store, Stitcher, TuneIn, BluBrry, Podcast Mirror and via RSS Feed. Please subscribe and comment on what you want to hear about in future podcasts!
