In the past after an extended playoff season, always seemed as though that we have more than our share of injuries.. never really mapped it out.

That is my worry.. that the bodies did not have enough time to heal, and shyt can happen.

Hope: love continues to be a force on the dline, pair that with big Vince and my little sister has a food chance of producing a pass rush with all the attention being demanded by the middle. Solder steps up and Seabass stays healthy.

Fears: love turns out to be a preseason hero, and seabass can't stay healthy. In an epic catastrophe, Vince, Jones and mayo meet at the quarterback with such force they all go down for the season.

Hopes!
1. BB brings back either one or both of Gaffney and Branch.

2. Good health for our offensive tackles especially, but the team in general.

3. The pass defense turns around and we're able to further improve the pass rush over last season (which was an improvement over 2010).

4. Wilfork maintains his core strength after the weight loss.

5. The Jets take an early season nosedive and never recover.

6. We win the division.

7. We go undefeated in the playoffs.

8. We win the Super Bowl.

Fears!
1. Solder can't hold up as LT.

2. Brady gets constantly smacked around in the backfield.

3. Our running game turns out to not be very good.

4. Lloyd gets hurt and we don't have another outside the numbers thread at receiver.

5. The pass defense does not improve.

6. INJURIES.

I fear getting flexed to Sunday night. Makes for a long and tired Monday.

There's only two conclusions for Patriots fans on rookies. They are either a bust or being fitted for their bust in Canton.

Hope - that we win the Superbowl after an awesome year where we go 12-4 or better!

Fears - that we will fall short like last year
that we'll win and Brady will retire, figuring he's done it all
that we'll stink and we won't even make the playoffs (irrational, but you never know)
that we'll get to the Superbowl and the !@#$%$#@! Giants will get there too
that we'll suffer some injuries and fade at the end of the year

Pretty much the same hopes and fears for about 12 years running now.

Hope:

A more balanced offense that can move the chains via the run when it counts (3rd & short situations).

Fear:

Major injuries (possibly) derailing this much anticipated season. I pray that TFB is kept upright and unharmed the entire year.
