Why Patriots still have hope despite 2-8 start

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 17:48:25 GMT

By all accounts the season is already lost. The Patriots entered the bye with the AFC’s worst record (2-8) and have almost no shot at crawling back into the playoff picture.Yet the Patriots still have seven games to play, and as bad as things look the players still have hope they can turn things around.“Of course,” said offensive lineman Cole Strange. “If we didn’t we’d stop playing and quit.”Fresh off a difficult loss to the Indianapolis Colts and a long flight back from Germany, the bye week is coming at a welcome time. Before their weekend off Patriots players said they were looking forward to taking a few days to gather themselves and reset, but also that the few days after returning from overseas were productive and encouraging.“I see it at practice, I see it in the games, no one’s quitting, no one’s flinching, so I’ve never lost faith in these guys and they’ve never lost faith in me, so there’s never...

However, if the costs of the credit are excessive, its conditions unclear or its consequences not carefully assessed, the credit becomes a risk. With the rules entering into force today, we are making it easier for consumers to avoid such risks and stay safe.”     Justice Commissioner ...

My 25th book, “Let’s Play Some Bridge,” was published recently; it’s a collection of pieces where you listen in on my thoughts in 80 deals.Advancing players will profit from “The Magic of Defense” by Barbara Seagram, a noted teacher and author. In discussing planning the defense, Seagram uses today’s deal to illustrate the “forcing game” – making declarer ruff so many times that he loses control – and how a capable declarer might survive.HIGH TRUMPSAt four spades, South ruffs the third heart and leads high trumps. If West plays low twice, declarer can’t lead a third trump: West would win and lead a fourth heart, forcing out declarer’s last trump while West still had one.Instead, declarer takes the Q-J of diamonds and the A-K of clubs. When West can’t ruff, South leads high diamonds, and West can score...
