I have a feeling what Bruschi said is exactly what Belichick is saying this week in team meetings. I am more taken aback by Stink's positive comments about the Pats.

I don't know why that statement is so controversial. It's just true.

The Patriots have a 2 game lead in the AFCE. But a loss to the Fins this Sunday would all but make that meaningless. It's November and time to build the lead and not sit back on it.

I don't think anyone here thinks that; Tedy had some very good points about Denver exposing some weaknesses,weaknesses our future opponents ( especially the good ones) will try and expose as well.

You know that's true.
Tedy was just a huge part of BB's team since 2000.
I would think he has some insight into his old coach's environment.

He's right; we shouldn't get too comfortable, we need to be prepared for every game. Sounds like a Patriot mentality to me.

I agree with Tedy.

The past two wins are stat padding winds, nothing else. If you think you can hang with the Saints because you beat the Titans and Bucs, forget it. You need to prove more.

All I got to say is that I have a problem with the way he says also, it sounds strange, as he is learning how to read.

JoeSixPat

You hit the nail on the head. I absolutely think this is EXACTLY what is being discussed by the current locker room leaders as well.

The Patriots are a smart team. And what Tedy conveyed is exactly how smart teams think.

I agree with Tedy 100% on this one. The Pats are a work in progress, but I personally won't be convinced they've turned the corner until they've beaten a quality opponent on the road and showed that they can make some of the adjustments which they failed to make against the Jets and Broncos.

There's plenty of evidence that this team is capable of being elite, and running that table at any time. We've outscored our opponents by 100 points in 7 games, our defense is average 14 PPG (13 PPG if you take away the 2 TDs given up by the offense) while overcoming injuries and still gelling, our offense is averaging of 400 yards total offense and 28 PPG while overcoming injuries and still gelling. I believe we have the talent on both sides of the ball to dominant anyone, including the Colts and Saints.

BUT ... we haven't won a legitimate road game yet this year, and in both true road games we failed to score a point in the 2nd half. We let the Broncos Wild Horses offense throw our defense off and gave up two 90+ yard drives. We've missed critical red zone opportunities against the Jets and Broncos that could have put both games away. And we failed to put the Ravens away in the 2nd half and let them back in the game.

Tedy's absolutely right. The team needs to show that it can translate dominance against Tennessee and Tampa Bay into mistake-free football against legitimate contenders. Win 4 (or more) of the next 5 games and I'll be convinced. Lose against the Fish and we're right back on a roller-coaster type of season.
