Better put Baltimore on or near the top of this question - That defense will be giving Brady fits and may be the game where Brady throws those 4 INTS,Baltimores front 7 are VERY good and Ed Reed is not so bad either in the back,not to mention its going to be in primetime which has not been the best thing for the Pats.

As the first quarter seemed to show quite adequately, the biggest hurdle is overconfidence. Lord knows far too many of the fans are exhibiting it.

I think the Pats fans are now EXPECTING 38 points at least in every game.

Sorry to say it,BUT its not going to happen every game.

End of story.....

Biggest hurdle? Ourselves and human nature/complacency. This team likely is way too good, players and coaches, to not win enough games to make it to the playoffs. The question is can we give it that 100 percent every Sunday? Can we stay hungry every Sunday? Every team is good enough to win on any given Sunday. No team is too good that if they don't give 100 percent, they don't run a good chance of losing. If BB can keep these guys focused, hungry and not believing the headlines, and if anyone can he can, this team will win a minimum of 13 or 14 games (barring major injuries which is always the wildcard in the NFL). As to the teams that will present us a tough task? Of course Indy (they are and have been good for a while). Outside of that, way too early in the season to say who will be tough come November. Anyone remember the Patriots under Carroll and how tough we looked in September versus how tough we looked in December? As good as the Patriots look right now, we haven't accomplished or clinched a thing. And imho a team better be playing as good if not better in December as it did in September. If not they likely end up at the Super Bowl...in a 50 yard line luxury box wondering why they aren't down on the field playing.

The biggest hurdle is the next game, and keeping everyone on the field.. so far our injuries have been minimal in the grand scale of things.

Denver and @Dallas are also tough games.

But injuries and mental toughness are always the biggest challenges for top flight teams.
