The Patriots will lose to the Ravens. This will spare them a

56 to 3 beating by the Chargers.

Can't even guess. One and done is my fear, superbowl seems like a pipe dream, but who knows. maybe they'll rally round this latest setback and go all the way.

italian pat patriot

honestly i don't have a reply after Welker loss

i was optimistic but now not so much

anyway: let's see and Go Pats !

happy and satisfied that we reached the play-offs and seed n.3

i hope to see more short passes to Watson and Baker and screens to Faulk plus hard runs from our backs and hopefully big plays from defense-am i asking too much ?

Same here.

Edit- This is the first time since 1998 (when the Pats got in at 9-7 and got trounced by the Jags with Zolak covering for Bledsoe) that I've had my doubts about the Patriots heading into the playoffs. Call it homerism or whatever, but it always felt like the Patriots were winning the SB somehow. I can't seem to feign that this time around.

As my sig shows, the hope is still there. But the confidence isn't. Perhaps it will be refreshing, feeling like a true underdog (and believing it). You lose and you were expected to lose so the letdown isn't as harsh, but you win and it feels much more gratifying. This is easily the most counted out Brady/Belichick team we've seen in the playoffs. Should be interesting to see how far they can go.

I was getting a lot more optimistic prior to the Welker injury, but now I just don't know. . .

I think Baltimore is going to be a very tough out for us. im still up in the air, but im leaning one and done right now.

The Ravens can run the ball and get pressure on Brady. And even though Flacco hasnt played very well down the stretch, he can still zip it down field to Mason.

I was really hoping we didnt get them in the first round. It's gonna be a tough physical game win or lose.

These poll results brilliantly illustrate the makeup of Patsfans.com:

Yet another fourth quarter collapse for the New England Patriots. I don't have any faith in this year's Patriots defense whatsoever to hold a lead against a quality opponent. Put me down for a one and done against a physical Baltimore Ravens team.

You heard it hear first.

NE beats Baltimore, then Chargers. Bengals get revenge on Jets and then then the a rusty Colts. AFCCG in Foxoboro and NE defeates Cinci. NE then extracts revenge for SB 31 when Viking QB Brett Favre gets benched after throwing his 5th int. NE win SB 31-0.
