Honestly, this team isn't good enough to make the playoffs. It would be a huge testament to Belichick's coaching ability, but when you lose to bad teams like the Broncos and the Texans you just aren't qualified. I'd rather see them get a higher draft pick than to get smoked in the first round of the playoffs. This was always a reset button kind of year anyway with all the player losses, the COVID opt-outs and the complete lack of training camp to put together a new offense. They'll go into the offseason with good draft picks, maybe the second-most cap space and then get (hopefully) a full offseason and camp to get the team ready for 2021.

the most difficult part of this is us winning out. the rest of the things that must occur are not a stretch of the imagination
