The Patriots stepped through a door last night... - New England Patriots Forums

SamBam39 · 10-31-2006, 08:44 AM

Up until last night, we as fans were hopeful that the Pats would be able to recover from the loss of Branch and Givens. We knew BB would coach the team well, and Brady would be great, and the defense strong and the running game pretty darn good, and that we'd be in most games with a good chance to win most. But as far as making a superbowl run and being able to knock off the crem-de-la-crem of the league, well, we remained concerned with the timing and comfort level between Brady and his many new receivers. We had optimism, but it would need to play out.

Well, last night, or fears that it wouldn't happen were put to rest. It HAS played out. We can all rest assured now that the Pats passing game will be just fine and they will be able to do whatever it is they need to do at any point in any game. Yes my friends, we CAN make another superbowl run, and yes my friends, we can beat any team in the NFL. Doesn't mean we will every time, or that a superbowl victory is locked up, but it means we CAN do it.

The rest of this season just became extremely more interesting and full of potential. And the rest of the NFL just became much, much more concerned with the dynasty known as the New England Patriots! 4 in 6 years anyone?

Check my post history. I have been saying that since the preseason and was never really all that swayed by the crappy passing game. It seemed pretty clear that things could only improve.

Indy 23

ok, I believe you. I'm just saying you'vr got to feel very reassured now.
I know I do.
I can totally see them going all the way now.

in the afc only the colts, broncos and maybe the chargers can stop us.
but they may not be able to either.
in the nfc, the only strong teams are the giants, seahawks, and bears, and I think we can beat them all as well.

will we? don't know. can we? finally, I feel confident saying - definately!

I will admit that I thought it would be more of a gradual process and I am pleased that it appears as if NE has been holding things back. I am surprised as to how easily it was to jump to an all pass offense, but I never really doubted it would get there.

Things are definitely looking good. Belichick's teams usually get stronger as the season goes on and, barring major injuries, that should be the case even more this year as Brady and his new WR get even more on the same page. No reason to think that we're going anywhere but up from this point.
