Mr. Anecdotal here :) I detected a not-so-good trait in the last game… In the current NFL (and NBA), when a play is tackled or otherwise goes ground, the current-day response is for their teammates to rush over and help them up. The players action in this last Pats game did not pass the eye-ball test. Once I noticed it, it was hard to miss. There must be a division in the locker room. Outside of things like “missing curfew”, I wonder if the players who are “inexplicably” on the bench have something to do with this?
