Michael Wilbon: Predicts 9-7/10-6 record for 2008 Patriots - New England Patriots Forums

And says they may or may not make the playoffs, this during the over/under segment on PTI.

I know you all value his opinions so thought I'd share.

Yea I saw this, and there is really only two ways to look at it:

Wilbon is trying to be the contrarian and just hate on Pats fans (which is fine, by all means hate on success)

or

Wilbon is genuinely that unknowledgeable about football. The team could have JAGS at every most of the positions and still make it to the playoffs with Brady Bellichick Moss and Willfork. That doesn't account for the easiest schedule in the league, or the fact that they've lost as many games in 06 and 07 combined as he predicts them to lose in 08.

Either way, I haven't acknowledged him as a reputable source for a while, and this didn't help.

Nice to know how stupid he still is..he'll be in the Hall of Shame with his comments last year about injuring Brady...The fact that he's going low means they'll be quite good..much like last year..

I forgot about that,maybe that heart attack he had was karma.

I think he's still predicting the Pistons will beat the Celtics.

Wonder who he sees possibly taking the division...

I don't know about karma...I'm glad he's recovered....Everyone knows a QBs livelihood depends on his legs..his ability to move and Wilbon was basically saying he would injure him..basically taking his livelihood away. Would he feel the same if someone said that naybe Wilbon should have his fingers cut off..his tongue taken out..BASICALLY stopping his own livelihood?? EVERYONE would be outraged if that happened with reason, but Wilbon lives on a one way street.

Has it ever occurred to anyone that not EVERYONE in the national media needs to ballwash the Patriots? He picked them to go 9-7 or 10-6, what's the big deal? Try to take off the the homer glasses and realize it is OK for someone to think that they won't do well. Anything can happen on any given Sunday and we know that. I just don't understand why everyone gripes because ONE guy does not think they'll go 16-0 again. He picked us to be mediocre, so who cares? Get over it. Do I agree with him? No. But not everyone sympathizes with the Pats.
