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

**Ian** · 10-12-2009, 01:32 PM

I figured I'll run this each week much like Andy did with the other - just so we can see how this changes each week.

I'm just tired of all the damn chicken littles that say they're fans. This team has been great for the better part of this decade, and this year was going to be tough with Brady coming back from his injury.

It took Manning, what, 7 games? to return to form? Maybe I'm just the type of person that doesn't get all riled up, even about bad calls in the game.. But the sky is not falling, and I look forward to seeing people doing an about face when it comes time that the team has turned around and is marching for the playoffs.

Fans? I see a bunch of whiners...

Not worried at this juncture.

There have been times when this offense has looked like it was going to bust out a la 2007, and the defense is generally, with the exception of the 2nd half yesterday, playing better than I'd hoped.

Playoffs looking good. 2nd half issues are more offensive related than defensive, as the D is getting no help from the O in the 2nd half. I like the D this year, forcing fumbles, good pursuit, playing well even in the L's. TB gets it going with receivers the rest of the way.

I know - but let's not go there. It's one click and that's it

I am somewhat worried, but I still have confidence that this team will improve through out the remainder of the season. I do want to see better play calling on both sides of the ball. Yesterdays game was just a disaster!

It all depends what your expectations were for this season. We all knew Brady wouldn't be his usual self coming back off a year out so I wasn't expecting fireworks on Offence and the Defence is also in transition to a new generation, That itself will keep the D somewhat vanilla at first. We've had to deal with injuries to key players early on so that complicates matters....all in all I think we're doing ok at 3-2 with a good scrap against the Bills and two good teams in Atlanta and the Ravens. Our loses haven't exactly been blowouts either, they've been close.

Not worried.

Sorry, just thought it was kind of the underlying point of this poll lol

who ever is calling the plays ON BOTH SIDES needs to be castrated

***Angry Man*** · 10-12-2009, 02:44 PM

Not worried at all. I'd rather have a loss like this against Denver now so the mistakes can be learned from than later on in the season or even in the playoffs.

Titans gonna get slaughtered this Sunday anyways.
