Why do people feel the need to find clouds in a sunny sky?

Have the Pats peaked? Don't we have Seymour and Harrison get back? (Harrison, at least, but we do not know about Seymour.) Can Chad Jackson be what we think he is? Can Neal recover from injury? Can LoMo run better and keep the pads down? Stallworth becoming the threat we think he can be? Can Adalius Thomas get better as he gets more experience in the Pats system?

Nah, the scariest part about this whole thing is the number of points we've left on the field (Brady's fumble, missed FGs, Brady's INT last week), and how easily we have been able to rack up points without doing anything too creative.

On top of that, when you think about the additions of Seymour and Harrison, this team is truly only getting started.

This isn't 2002. To your credit, you mentioned the defense, BUT: We don't have Steve "wild and crazy guy" Martin as our starting DT to start the season. Our entire team has changed. We are stocked with players who will excel in our system.

Patten and Givens, as much as we all loved them at the time, weren't good. We had a rotten OL. Antowain Smith? Please!

Who said the Patriots have peaked?

I say this with tongue partially planted in cheek, but there's definitely some truth to this:

The Patriots are playing like crap.

They aren't peaking, we're watching them on their floor. THAT is why they're scary. They're scary because they haven't done ANYTHING yet. Read some of the other threads.. about Donte not getting touches, about Maroney not really running well yet, about the guys on the pup list.

This team might never reach its potential, but, in my mind their potential is absolutely beyond anything the league has ever seen.

19-0 is still way far off, and 99% unlikely -- but this team DOES have a better chance than any team in memory to do it.

This team is the first time I've ever looked at a non-playstation team and thought, "that team could score 100 pnts in a game"

This defense is good enough that I could actually see them putting a string of shutouts together against high-powered offenses.

Now, all that said... potential is nothing. They could miss the playoffs if they read their own press clippings.

My only point here is this... I do not, even in the tiniest way, think that the patriots are anywhere near their peak for this season.

Hehe you made a funny.
This team has just started to gel.
They have by no means peaked.
Stallworth has yet to fully bond with the offense.

This defense is missing 2 key cogs in Seymour and Harrison.
It is not the Patriots fault that they are already so good that they are embarassing teams.
The scary thing is, how good will they be a couple of months from now?
That should be an awesome sight to behold.
49 or 50 point explosions are not out of the question imo.
