Is the 2007 team's record of 589 points in jeopardy?

I think they have the talent to do it if for some reason they really wanted too, but I don't see it happening.

The offenses are effectively the same (although a bit older) with moss being swapped out for lloyd and the 2 TEs added, which you could argue is better than in 07.

But I don't see it happening because we seem to be going back to a more balanced offensive approach, instead of spread all the time like in 07. It could be a more effective offense, but probably not as flashy. Plus in 07 we did run up the score quite a bit, which I see no reason for this year. If we are up a lot we will probably grind it out, and maybe even Mallett/Hoyer can get in there to stir up some trade possibilities.

Deus Irae

I'm just looking forward to "The GFY Reunion Tour", and hoping the last stop on the tour turns out better this time.

I hope not.

The more Brady throws the ball, the more his arm wears down, and the more he will get hit.


If anything, Pats should be running the ball more and more as the years go on and save Brady for when they really need him.

Bring on the 2012 Season

I think we will be able to get many more YPC than 2011 due the the more diverse defense, and the running game I think will be significantly better. Shane Vereen, Stevan Ridley, Brandon Bolden, Danny Woodhead. Short dump offs to RB's are not as hard on the arm, I expect 50 of those spread between the RB's at least, most going to Vereen and Woodhead. I think that Mallet/Hoyer could be put in in the 4th quarter for talent evaluation, because why play Brady when you are up by 20 points? I could see Brady throwing for 4800-5200 yards, Mallet 800-1200 yards, and Hoyer 400-600 yards.

Who cares. I just want a good year and long postseason

I don't think so. As previously stated, NOBODY on this team touches Moss on his prime.

HOWEVER, I really believe that this offense will be far more efficient. More long drives as opposed to 60-70 yard bombs to Moss.

I really CANNOT wait any longer for the season to start. This is killing me

More run less pass in 2012,we will see a better balanced team unless Ridley drops the ball (pun intended)

No chance to beat 07...... Might be closer to 500

the wild card no one is considering is the D.

If the pieces BB added this off-season get us a top 10 defense; then look-out they could have a significant shot at the points record; it is the yardage record that i think will then be unlikely.

For sure i would hope we run a lot more than we did last year for balance (multi-dimensional threat) and protecting brady and also just developing players (rbs). But even if Pats are running more and moving slower down field; if your D is giving you 40-55 yds to EZ instead of 80; you are going to walk away with points.

Do not care if they score 600 or 500 points, all that is important is W's... if we win the 19th game, then any statistic is just a number.
