WTF? 10 is lowest and 1 is highest?

Anyways, I voted a 7. I'm pretty confident they'll turn things around. Do I expect them to make the playoffs? Yes. Win the SB? Not so much.

BradyFTW!

Well what is hte scale based on? Relative to the average team? % chance of winning it all? Etc etc...

If it's relative to other teams, I'd put them at around a 4, since they have an above average chance relative to the abundance of crappy teams out there. By pretty much any other metric, we're probably down in 6-8 territory.

I will say 8 ... I still think if the O-Line get's healthy and Belichick can find a way to get vollmer out there ... even as a TE ... it will have a domino effect on the rest of the units. Especially the defense as they have been way overworked in he 2nd half of games.

It's not that complicated! It's simple: How confident are you that this team (as of this week) can win a championship. Any and all circumstances are obviously accountable (other teams, playoff teams, etc).

This is the year. We put our failures in the past, it's a new year, a new defense. It's time to prove to the league that the Patriots are back and aren't going anywhere and they will be the last ones standing in Feb.
Update: Well that didn't work out as I had planned. Next year baby, next year 19-0 we go. Next year.

BradyFTW!

Relative to what, though? 1 and 10 have to be fixed points for this to mean anything.

I voted 4. Slightly above average. I have to see how Moss and Co. respond to being sent home today/partially called in the media by Brady first. If they come out and crush the Panthers (which there is no reason for them not to) and look impressive in doing so, then I will move that ranking up. If they come out flat, I'll keep it at 4.

Win at least one game in the playoffs? 7
Get to the conference championship? 4

You voted backwards I think

I gave it a 4

I am confident that this team can win games and there is a way for them to get motivated. All that needs to happen is for somebody to lead them to the victories they have the ability to achieve.

I didn't vote about confidence in winning a superbowl though. Just winning games in general. I think the Pats have enough talent to compete with anybody, we just need to utilize it and capitalize.

I voted 5. Right now, anything can happen. We can tank it and I wouldn't be surprised. We can also start a run and somehow, that wouldn't surprise me either.
