Just wondering if anyone else is feeling better about this game now vs 10 days ago. My initial gut feeling, when I found out We were playing the Giants wasn't good. As twisted as the logic seems, thats what started making me feel better about the game. Everytime I thought we would smoke a team in the playoffs (07 Giants, 10 Jets, and a few weeks ago vs. the Ravens) I was in for a shock.

Call it the disrespect card, or the backs up against the wall. I think the Pats are coming out swinging. I think the X's and O's in this game won't determine the winner, nor will Gronks ankle. I like this teams chemistry, I think the Oline has a HUGE chip on their shoulder as does the Pats 31st ranked defense.

I'm not sure what it is, but I feel something Brewing. I'm not predicting a blowout, but I think it's gonna be one of those games the Pats linemen will dominate on both sides of the ball and the game will be under control though out. The only thing I'm nervous about now is that Fred Smurlas picked the Pats to win 31-21 which was my exact predition in Alamo's Contest. LOL.

Belichick has been in far too good of a mood for the Pats to not be completely prepared.

If you need the media to tell you we're going to win then you have not been paying attention.

And i think the giants are starting to believe the press clippings proclaiming them the winners. They may to some degree believe all they have to do is throw their helmets on the field to win.

I feel better everyday.

- The Giants continue with the trashtalk
- Our guys continue to be relatively quiet
- BB seems VERY confident
- The Gronk has practiced today.

If the Gronk continues to improve tomorrow, the confidence will continue to grow

Actually....... I take it as the opposite....... It almost sounds like to me that all this boa(Please be quiet - edited)l, trash-talk comes from a place of "lacking self-confidence" then over confidence.

I'm feeling infinitely better as time goes on.

Pretty much the same. Boy was I nervous in 07 though. The Giants just kept chirping then too, and it didn't hurt them. This time, they seem like they're forcing it. Not nearly as nervous.

Voted for feeling better.

10 days ago, my gut was telling me the Patriots would win, but then the mediot onslaught commenced.

Luckily, I was able to navigate around that miasma of idiocy, hyperbole, and spurious rhetoric and stick to logic, cold hard facts, and common sense...which has lead me to this conclusion in the here and now:

The way things are unfolding, I am growing more confident by the day that the Patriots can win if they do their job in all three phases. In fact, though it is not anticipated, it would not surprise me if the outcome to this game does not come down to the wire.

Pats are quietly going about their business...the pressure is off as all the mediots, or most of them, are picking the Gints....good for them.

Gronk is the BIG story.... and the Pats defense

not Brady...not Ocho...not Hernandez or Wes or Branch..or the Pats OL or running game.
