I give the Pats a B- overall.

Sure its a C/C- when you look at the potential the Pats had going into the season and our expectations as fans. However when you compare them to the other teams in the league I think they deserve a higher grade.

True: the Pats need more offensive line help and give a bit more time for Brady to pass, and help in the secondary which use to be the best part of our defense in years past.

I think the C- had a lot to do with the potential the Pats had and their failure to use it. We saw glimpses of it and then it would just disappear. It also has a lot to do with the expectations Patriots fans have for their team at this point, now probably too high. Possibly they should get more credit for still being up there, and winning the division. They aren’t the Pats they were a few years ago, but they’re still one of the better teams in the league.

As for the other teams, not making the playoffs can be seen as a sort of fail, no?

If the Patriots get a C- on the season after winning the division (something they didn’t do in their 11-5 year, granted they had a better record and probably should have) and making the playoffs, then what do the teams that didn’t make the playoffs get? Or ones that didn’t win the division and lost in the first round?
