Just wanted to know if anyone felt the same,,,,just didn't enjoy that win. I know it sounds crazy but that's exactly how I felt. Was it because we didn't take advantage of those turnovers in the first half ? Or was it that I knew it would come back later in the game and hurt us that we didn't finish them off in the first half. The Patriots can lose and I still can say what a great game that was,,,,but yesterday it just didn't reach the level of last week's game. Great defense but rest average. Some weird play calls on Offense ! Still I predicted a 10-6 season and that is on track and playoffs guaranteed with that . Tommy on tv looked really frustrated and not comfortable at all thanks to Light . I know we beat a really good team and shouldn't be saying this but I didn't enjoy it. Call me stupid, crazy but really would appreciate if any friend felt the same. Many thanks and take care. Abdul

You do realize that the Pats would have to go 5-5 the rest of the way to get to 10-6. You really think that's going to happen?

As to the rest; just win, baby. Sometimes, people need to have a stiff drink to calm the nerves during the postgame, but a win is a wain.

This genius move was followed by trading out of a spot where they could have gotten the last decent receiver in Robert Ferguson and settled for tackle Matt Light, who will not help any time soon.”

We are spoiled. It used to be any win was a huge deal. Now we beat the team with the #1 offense and #1 defense in the league and we are dissapointed, because we didn't beat them by more. It used to be a Patriots fan didn't expect to win every week, usually it was the opposite. Now we complain when we don't kick the snot out of the opponent.

I'm sure Baltimore wasn't thrilled, nor was Pittsburg. You can put Denver in the category of being very embarassed. and then there are the Saints.

Bottom line is that they won. If they continue to do this for several more games in a row then there is cause for concern.

WTF did you want them to win 48-17? Dude, when the pats blew people out they didn't have toughness that they had and what they got back now.
The pats are tough now

I've got to be honest - I've LOVED the past couple of weeks.

I think people expect too much of this team. Ignoring the clichés about how the Superbowl-winning teams resembled this one, we have to remember that the win against Baltimore came off a bye-week at home. However, they managed to follow up a five-quarter game (against one of the toughest teams in the league) with a road trip to California, to face the Chargers, and emerged with the win. That's good work, no matter how you look at it.

Someone yesterday said that we couldn't rely on that sort of luck if the team did make the play offs. Whoever it was has a short memory of games in San Diego! I fully believe that you make your own luck, I don't think it's a coincidence that the change in the team philosophy is accompanied by a return to the ball seemingly bouncing our way when it matters.

A week ago, people were saying they'd only be impressed if the team could get past the Chargers as well. They did, and now people have to find another reason to worry! I don't know if the fan base is "spoiled", but I think we certainly all got a little too familiar with games that the Pats won by 20.

Hey Moose, thanks but i didn't mean winning big just the way we looked maybe and the play calling and probably not executing good. We are spoiled and I guess after the Ravens game I expected better or just the same. Hey you know what winning is great but sometimes it's how we do it that builds a greater feeling inside. Ok I am crazy ! Some games are ugly and that was an ugly win. Maybe I'll feel better later. Cheers all. Abdul

zoostation

?? It does sound crazy.

Wins can come in many different ways. I am more than happy to come out of there with a "w" (as ugly as the game may have been)

I am just pissed my heart rate doubled from when we didn't get a first down and then the fg made it speed up more.

Comparatively did not think that this win was all that "ugly", we forced a whole bunch of turnovers against a poorly coached team... coincidentally this team is statistically has the best D and O in the league... we were in SoCal, for many of our young uns they had a huge win last week, and this week had to fly across country against a very good team....

Perhaps I simplify this too much, but it is all good... think that people are still enamored with the '07 season... so much so they do not see how much we have progressed over last year...

Two wins on the road at this stage is impressive, last year we won 1 on the road for the whole season...
