Albert Breer:
I think this team has a loss left in it, although I'm not sure where it comes. Houston seems to be the obvious one, but the Texans could be playing out the string with a lame-duck coach there, and Mike Shanahan hovering in the background. I think Miami wins out, and tiebreakers determine the division. Both teams could get in at 10-6, although I think neither has more than a single playoff win in them.

I don't think he was saying the Patriots are the 4th best team now. But for the season they come out 4th using the formula.

How far can the Patriots realistic go in the playoffs, IF they do indeed make it to post-season play? I believe in this team and BB and "any given Sunday" etc eyc but I don't see this particular team scaring anyone too much.

Om the upside I do like our position in the next draft. Lotta low picks and we need new talent in lot of places.

Breer is just stating things as they are.

Meh it's never about scaring anyone. '01 Pats didn't scare anyone at all.

I remember well, I know and I agree.... But is this a team that is getting better late in the year? Your point is well taken though.....

This team has actually played better than the record may indicate. They have their ups and downs, bumps and bruises but I think there's a lot of potential. They are very inexperienced for sure, and it may be tough to grind out playoff victories, but at the same time there is still a decent veteran presence with Brady, Faulk, Vince, Warren. Sanders may be just what we need to fix some of those communications issues in the secondary. I think they are close to getting things clicking, and if it comes together at the right time... one can only hope.

Well, all we can do is support our team and hope for the best. We will see how things turn out for them soon enough.......

GO PATS! 5 SB's in the decade! 4 SB titles!
