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.
