I voted option 2, suspecting this might be carryover from last year's give-the-Pats-our-best-game phenomenon.

Indeed. Sure, the defense made Seneca Wallace look like a sure-fire Hall of Famer but they buckled down in the second half BIG TIME. I was actually impressed. This is a win for us and I'm happy for it. I'm not going to get totally down on the team like some people have because I see the massive list of injuries to key positions we have on both offense and defense (but ESPECIALLY on D) and think that we should be 5-8 right now instead of 8-5. This may just be Belichick's finest coaching job ever... well, everything considered.

i think the hasselback deactivation threw a curveball at the pats and they seemed a little out of sorts in the first half. had hasselback played i tend to think we wouldve played better at the start.

This team won't win with style points. But as long as they win, I'm happy.

Interesting choice of words here ... I too enjoyed the "victory" immensely, but the "game" on the other hand, was a terrible experience. I did not enjoy watching most of it, seeing the same mistakes pop up over and over as they have all season.

It wasn't until the final drive when I had a feeling the Pats would pull it out with a gutty drive that I really started to enjoy it.

This is what I mean by the team being fatally flawed come January so try and enjoy the victories, no matter how small over no matter how weak the opponent. One of the flaws this team has is that it does make repeated mistakes. It's one thing to hope that the team can clean this up come January, but it's another to expect it. The team hasn't put together a string of 3 clean games all season with a weak schedule and there are people on this board who expect it to happen in January against the likes of Tennessee, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Indy and the NFC winner? Please. Of course it could happen, but it's a longshot. A very longshot.

The Pats have won 3 Super Bowls out of 42. That doesn't mean there's nothing to enjoy in the 39 years they didn't win the whole thing. Enjoy yesterday's razor-thin win over 2-11 Seattle. It was a fun win. Don't worry too much about the measuring stick factor of where the Pats stand. If you haven't accepted the fact that this team is a low odds title contender by now, you're more than likely going to get sick in the coming month(s).

Regards,
Chris

I'm enjoying this season. Any January game(s) is an unexpected bonus. Look how many PREMIER stahtiz are on IR or out.

Yesterday's game was a classic BB coached game. Loved it.

I would like to see the Depth Chart in early Sept. and how it has evolved to where we are now.. we have lost a ton of D players.. starting with Tank Williams the list has gone on and on, replacement players are now getting hurt.. we are on the third tier in some of these positions.

Love the term "rump swabbing",......hilarious.....But in all honesty, you know the media (especially ESPN). They are NEVER going to give the Pats any props man!!!
