Does 2-1 look a little better now? - New England Patriots Forums

A lot of the doom and gloom commentary here has been that we 'only' beat 2 poor teams.
With the Jets leading Indy in the 4th quarter (I dont think they will finish it off) and Buffalo having their way with Minn, those 2 wins look more impressive today.

One thing is for sure based on other games so far, we have played 3 very good defenses, all better than the one we face today.

3-1 will look the best.

Jets and Bills were both underestimated this season.

And then there's Miami who was overestimated.

Our offense against the Jets in the first half was unreal in retrospect. We need to get that back and putting Chad Jackson in there is a big part of it and having a healthy Dillon is even bigger.

IMO, the record is less important than how the team is playimg. They've had 1 really good half against the Jets and a pretty good 2nd half against the Bills. And 4 bad halfs of football. Win or lose today they have to start playing better.

Andy, for all of our yesteryear rivalry (remembered by you or not), I'll totally agree with you here. Go M effin Pats.. (FYI, I've been on the positive bandwagon so far this season, WTF? right). lol
