After Wilfork called the coin toss in overtime last night and seeing that we had lost, I got an eerily similar feeling to last season.

Looking at our schedule, I realistically see us going 11-5

Last year we went 11-5
Last year we lost a game in OT
Last year we lost the coin toss in that game and never got the ball
Last year we missed out on the playoffs at 11-5

I know last year we didnt have Brady, but he has to play better

Defensivily, it bothers me that our CB's play 10 yards off the ball. Towards the end of the game, I was at the point where I was thinking I'd rather lose on a 50 yard Bomb than 8-6 yard dump offs to WRs.

Anyways, I think it would be a damn shame to miss the playofffs by 1 game again and to have a loss in OT never getting the ball

To compare this season to last season...

I think Brady is where Cassel was at this point in the season, and Cassel had way more rust, and accuracy issues.

Both teams were 3-2 after 5 games. The only difference is that last year the 2 losses were blowouts, and this year they were decided by 7, and 3 points respectively.

We have two losses now. We still have to play @ N.O. and @ Indy; unless we start playing WAY better we'll get trounced in those games. 11-5 sounds pretty good right now. Imagine yesterday's pass defense against Manning and Brees.

Last year has nothing to do with this year's record. That said, I could see them going 11-5 or 10-6, especially with the Colts and Saints on the horizon.

If they don't start playing better, 11-5 will be a pipe dream.

Pass rush? Uneccessary when you have 72 CBS playing.
Lbs? What for, we have no pass rush, they gonna chuck it at our lousy CBS...all 72 of them bums

I say punt, go for 5-11 record, trade the tenth pick for a few more 2nd rounders, bypass studs for some Chad Jackson, LoMo types. Use the saved money for washed up offensive weapons unlikely to make the game day roster, or trade future picks for sack masters from 2004-6. Don't spend to the cap, use saved cash to sustain other businesses.

We also play the Titans, Bills, Bucs, Dolphins (twice), Jags, Panthers, and Texans. The Pats have only three games left with teams with winning records (at this point) for the rest of the season. The AFC South has one good team (Indy), NFC South has two (Atlanta and Saints), and the AFC East have 2 (Pats and Jets). Those are the three divisions the Pats play. The Pats have already played the Jets once and Falcons. They have already played their strength of schedule games (Ravens and Broncos).

I still think 12-4 and even 13-3 are not off the table. The Pats have beaten two good teams so far (Atlanta and Baltimore). It isn't out of the realm of possibility that they go 2-1 or 1-2 against the three good teams left and sweep all of the bad ones left.

Besides, the Pats haven't been trounced yet even with a four game stretch of the Jets, Falcons, Ravens, and Broncos.

You're right, but I see some other losses looming unless we play better. Heck, we almost lost to the Bills who look positively dreadful.

Brady to Brown

They look like an 8 - 8 team right now.
