Default Are we peaking to early???

We were playing this well in 2002, when we were on fire on offense.. I know our defense sucked back then, but are we showing too much too soon???

I don't believe that such a thing even exists and i've never understood what "peaking too early" means.

No offense.


I think we will be fine and continue to destroy teams
one game at a time. let the bloodbath continue.

I was just concerned that we are giving teams, too much to look at too soon..

Who says we're peaking? What if we're still not playing up to our potential? What if we get even better?

If this team is scary good now, what will they be if they get better?

I think that's what people mean when they say "scary". We still haven't seen all that this team is capable of. Sey and Rodney still haven't played a snap. O line injuries have been minimized by great depth and the same can be said of the defense. There are too many level headed vets on this team, IMO, to fall into the trap of peaking too early. I consider that situation to more likely befall a younger team that plays over their level.
Just my 2cents.

What makes you think this is the peak? Rodney comes back in two weeks, RS and TB can come back after week six. This team is very good, but I don't think they have peaked.

Actually, in 2002, game 3 was the beginning of the end.

The Pats won that day, just barely, but the defense was completely exposed for the running game sieve that it was.

I saw nothing yesterday that could give opposing coaches any hint as to what the 2007 Pats weaknesses are (except maybe the punter).

100% correct. Game 3 was a shootout and we escaped with a win. That was the game where I said it seems like we have serious problems on D.

What if we're showing them what we have and we still win because our players are better? (Also, I think we have much more to show on offense, but as long as this keeps working, I think we go with it).
