Poll: Your State of Mind After Week 5 - Page 3 - New England Patriots Forums

Throw me into the "Somewhat Worried" catagory. This team has some glaring flaws about it. The QB play with a rusty Brady whose timing is way off on some plays. The big injury on the O-Line and a rookie starting LT now. And the play calling which was way too vanilla yesterday.

However, I have faith in this team and I fully expect these flaws to be fixed. It's good that we're not playing our best football right now. The championship teams play their best football at the end of the season. If we can fix these flaws in the soft point of our schedule and get Brady back on track (he's made steady progressions each week), this team will be deadly.

A quick bump before I close it down and archive it

we'd be 5-0 but in our two losses we had bad second halves. once we consistently put together 60 minutes of football we'll be on track

I voted not worried at all, but I'm on my way to being somewhat worried.

Tied for the division lead after 5 games, all the while not playing or managing the games particularly well. We can only get better, while the Jets and their big ball of pudding coach can only self destruct.

I've written the season off completely, it's clear this team misses Matt Cassel and is going nowhere with that second rater off the bench.

I'd have to admit that I'm somewhat worried. Actually worried is a bad word really. I have some concerns I suppose.

Basically I want to see Tom Brady connect with a couple of long bombs so that we know he is not overthrowing the ball. I expect it will happen but the sooner the better.
I also would like to see us getting more variety into our offense so that we are not so predictable. The playcalling is my biggest concern.
And defensively I'd like to see some more aggressive playcalls from time to time.

I'm somewhat worried just because nothing is ever a given and I haven't seen Brady play this bad for a long while (I'm not counting portions of 2006 because he simply had nothing to work with).

But my gut still says he will be fine and we are going to be a strong championship contender by the time December rolls around. Still, there is an uneasiness.

I seen all the movie stars in their fancy cars and their limousines,
Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens,
But I know what I'm needing and I don't want to waste more time-
I'm in a kick-ass state of mind.

so basically you aren't counting last year and 2006? thus you are only counting 2007 as recent when he was in the zone.
