Well this topic will not be pretty I have a feeling

Without being too negetive after two games I will say this, the pats have some glaring holes that are not easily corrected. I think they will end up being 11-5 and fighting for a play-off spot.

As long as we play with as little passion as we have shown, we're toast.

The loss of Harrison, Bruschi and Seau was a loss of PASSION more than a loss of ability.

While getting younger was a fantastic idea, jettisoning almost ALL of the veterans at exactly the same time is a head scratcher.

I am not sure passion can overcome injuries and lack of talent.

The middle of the defense WILL get better with Mayo.
The passing game WILL get better once Brady gets his head (and shoulder) together.

Jaworski was right when he talked about Brady's Mechanics and struggles last week

Brady has not planted his legs like he normally does and that is what I think is a big problem right now

Whether he gets his act together and goes back to the QB we all used to know will be seen,So far except for a few solid throws he is inconsistent,almost looking scared to get his feet planted before the throw.

I think he WILL recover and play like our future HOF QB again,Question is will it be by the end of this season or will it take longer?

One of my biggest concerns and questions is 'Does Brady have confidence in his OL?' - If not there could be bigger problems going on in his head than we realize,if you don't trust the guys in front of you to make the blocks to give you time to throw you will throw too early and often innacurate.

The Jury is still somewhat out, but very confident that there will be a huge upswing, two games do not tell all that much about anything..

Just a hunch - and it was brought up by Boomer Esiason on the Radio this morning.

Unhappy Re: Your EARLY confidence level on this years team?

As of right now... based on what we have seen, I think the Jets are a much better team.

NOW... that may (and hopefully will) change as the year goes on. But if things don't improve, it's hard to imagine the play-offs, let alone a SB bid.
