Default Isn't this just what we wanted?

We no longer have to worry about our streaks and awards. Buffalo beat us. Our ownage of Pittsburgh ended. Brady will not win MVP. Our home field streak is over. Brady's home field streak is over. Our SB42 nightmare can end peacefully, as we can no longer think 99 times out of 100 we stop Eli Manning and/or shred that defense. Randy Moss media fest is over.

Let's hope we can just get into the playoffs way under the radar, with no expectations. I hope the oddsmakers put our chances extremely low and stop putting stupid, unjustified point spreads on the board.

The Pats are just another team in the pack now, for the first time in a long time.

Meh...as long as it's Tom Brady and BB there's always going to be hype and pressure.

The Pats match up poorly vs. every playoff contender in the AFC. If ou think this team can win the AFC Championship game or even reach it that far you are smoking rocks.

honestly I think they can. Every week teems rise to the occasion and beat teams they aren't supposed to. The Jets coming off a win will be favorites at home and The Pats could go in there and play defense like they did for the first 3.5 quarters and offense like they did in the last half quater and beat the Jets. Am I expecting them to do it? Hell no but it could happen.

I don't know if they will be completely under the radar going into next weekend's game vs. the Jets, but if they lose, they will doubtless be as under the radar as they've been since 2001, IMO.

With the weak slate of games on tap for the second half of the schedule, they could conceivably go on a nice winning streak going into the postseason.

Our 2011 defense choking against Eli does not make me feel any better about our 2007 defense choking against Eli, nor does it change my mind that 99/100 times Eli does not drive 84 yards down the field to win that game.

We'll see where we are by the time of the playoffs. There is no reason to believe that we will have more holes on our team at that point than others.

It has to start with the jets thought. Jets take that game..they have a pretty easy schedule as well

999 times out of 1,000, they don't get as many free TOs for yardage checks.
