mood around Biden feels like sports media re: the NE Patriots three weeks into 2018. Pats were coming off a Super Bowl loss where they couldn't stop a backup QB.
they lost w2 to a mid Jags team and w3 to hapless Detroit. ESPN and talk radio were cooking them.
Pats won the SB that year.
funny thing about it as a parallel is that in 2017 Pats also started miserably slow: blown out by KC w1, miracle to beat Texans w3, lost to Carolina w4. they'd started slow and made the Super Bowl as favorites the year before and nobody remembered somehow!
