Default Call me crazy...

I for one, will be praying that our team loses the first game of the 2008 season.

As much as I enjoyed the '07 path to perfection, I cant get away from the fact that I think it came back to bite us.

Does anyone remeber after losing to Buffalo 31-0, after losing Lawyer Milloy to them in the offseason, then finishing up the season with a 31-0 mirror whuping of the Bills.

To me, and I was at that final game, that poetic justice... felt sooooo much more satisfying than going 16-0.

I dunno, I just want that whole perfect season thing out of the picture quickly.

I will not root for the Pats to lose a game. Accept, sure. Root for, NEVER.

Yup your crazy.....

The goal of every team every week should be to win.

I can't picture BB sitting their saying well lets adjust our training camp and preason to reflect the fact that we are not going to try in the first week so we can get that loss out of the way.

If you asked me what is more important undefeated or a SB than I would say a SB but here is the catch yu can't go undefeated without winning the SB.

Personally I'm hoping to be 18-0 again heading into SB 43.

I'm with you on this. Also, I hope the Patriots go 19-0 every year from here on out. I'll deal with the stress.

I don't get this "I hope we lose a game" stuff. Guys, going 16-0 is almost impossible. We will have those games where nothing goes our way and we will likely lose. We nearly lost 2-3 games this past regular season, but we got lucky. We would have to get really really lucky again to go 16-0 next season. So why hope for something that is almost certain to happen?

I dont want to lose the first game, or anything... I dont care about perfection (going against the Giants in the SB as a rematch and then going 19-0 would be SWEEEEET however), but as long as we dont lose home games...or any away games...then Ill be fine >_>
If Bill Belichick does a "tactical loss" at the end of the season, I dont know if I'll be pissed or what, we'll have to see...
Whatever. A Super Bowl win&ring is all I want!

BB would never, ever, ever do a "tactical loss" at the end of the season. He's not Tony Dungy, BB has balls and too much respect for the game to do that.

Yeah I think that too.

Being 18-0 had nothing to do with the OL play. It had nothing to do with the almost sack of Eli, the almost INT of Asante, the almost batdown by Rodney, or the almost game winning pass of Brady to Moss.

Enough with this "I want to lose" crap! Can't handle the "pressure" of a team you CHEER for being undefeated? Go watch friggin golf...but don't cheer for Tiger Woods, or you will be cheering him to double bogey on the 17th hole.

I would rather see more Spygate stuff than more of these sissy "I want a loss" threads.
