Dead Time

The worst three hours of the year

Football is like life-it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication, and respect for the authority - Vince Lombardi

    The bye week: a point in time no NFL fan wants to endure. It is a time felt wasted, and a feeling of an incomplete day. This week, the Patriots had their time for the bye week, and I had the surge to watch my favorite team compete against an opponent who would fear the pure success of the Patriots. However, the week had come that I had been dreading for the whole season. Whenever your team doesn’t play, you feel a little empty on the inside, you feel as if the world has flipped upside down, you just feel let down. While I do understand that there are positives to a bye week, such as, resting, game-planing and improving; it just leaves the fans of the teams who aren’t playing in a joyless state of emptiness. Plus, losing a game an extremely personal game to the Titans the week before going into the bye week sucks a lot more than really anything else. You’re just left with the bad feeling that Titans just smoked you, Dion Lewis disrespected you and now you don’t have an immediate chance to redeem yourself. Ultimately, I just want to see some dominant Patriot football again. Whether it be our Offense, Defense or Special Teams; I want to see us play well again, and I hope that's what happens against the Jets in Week 11.
