Third String But Playing on Special Teams

 The prophets of doom need to take a look at the other playoff caliber teams and explain how we're any worse off relative to them. Vegas has us sitting at pretty good odds right now and we still have a ways to go.
I think everyone on this board has concerns going into next season, and will probably still have some even after the draft. But as we've seen, it hardly takes a "perfect team" to win a championship. The way I look at it, we're still miles better than the 2001 team, and even the 2003 team. The only thing that kept us from homefield and a bye last season was a ridiculous rash of injuries...and even with that, some would argue (simms) that we were still the best team in the league by the end of the season.
I just don't see how anyone could objectively be "down" on this team unless they're just trying to stir sht up on the local airwaves, or they're national types who are "sick" of the Pats. Trust me, football teams do not want to play us next year...particularly those that had their way with us (indy, denver)
But if the media wants to underrate us, I say bring it on!...I can't wait to be the underdog again.
