Steve Mariucci: 2008 Pats can go undefeated - Page 2 - New England Patriots Forums

I'm not concerned with going undefeated. Right now, I just want them to play well against Kansas City, especially the defense, and look toward making the playoffs.

That's pretty easy. For example...

Colts
vs Bears
@ Vikings
vs Jaguars
@ Texans
vs Ravens
@ Packers
@ Titans
vs Patriots
@ Steelers
vs Texans
@ Chargers
@ Browns
vs Bengals
vs Lions
@ Jaguars
vs Titans

I'm positive they can go undefeated...tomorrow. And that's the only game that matters.

Well put. And I might take some flak for it but it might be the best thing to get a "loss" over early--say week 2. I know, losses are "never good", but it would put the focus back to where its supposed to be, winning the game(1), winning the division(2), winning home field(3). You cant even get to the SB til you do that...

This team never lost it's focus last season.

I can't believe people are already thinking about another undefeated season when they haven't even played their first game. If their 8-0, restart this thread.

I think we win the sb, and thats all that matters.

I think the secondary will improve but I agree with your predicted record. 13-3 and the SB.

Yeah, but they've done it before. Not much different than wondering out loud if the Giants can repeat (hehehehe).

Also, not true. The Redskins cannot go undefeated.

whose focus? Yours? Being 18-0 did not give the Patriots a lesser chance of winning the SB than say being at 15-3 going into that game.

The only thing an early loss will do is let us fans watch the games without hearing all this undefeated talk again.
