Despite all the injuries and problems thus far on defense, we have won four games and lost the other three by a measly 4 points at the very end of the game. We are about three plays away from being 7-0.

I think our boys are going to go over there to London and make us proud! I think they are going to win, whether it's ugly, like last week, or pretty, like week 1. Let's support them instead of pointing out everything that's wrong (and I admit to a few negative posts myself in the last week).

Here are some good things to cheer about:

Tom Brady, Wes Welker and Gronk will all be on the field on Sunday
Big Vince will be on the field on Sunday
IMO BB hates Jeff Fisher and will try really hard to beat him
Josh McDaniels coached Sam Bradford and should know some ways to beat him
Our improved turnover ratio may continue
If the Pats stay on course and have more than 350 yards of offense, they will break the Rams' record for most consecutive games with more than 350 yards of offense

Those are a few I can think of off the top of my head. Please add more if you like. Please don't add negative stuff as there are plenty of other threads on the board you can add to for that.

GO PATRITOTS!! BEAT THE RAMS!!

Hell yeah PatsDeb!!!

You've got me fired up for the game and I'm surprised more people haven't been talking about the whole Bradford/McDaniels angle

So true. Even when Brady started we would win low scoring close games by only a score. We got spoiled by the 2007 blowout year!

Several reasons. As someone else said above, Fisher's teams are perceived to play dirty. Remember when some Patriots (Bruschi comes to mind) said Fisher was cheering when Rodney Harrison got hurt? Also, Fisher was on the "competition committee" for years and made some of those rules to slow down the Patriots D in the superbowl years, and I believe he was vocal against BB when all the Spygate crap was happening.

Could just be my own mind running away with me, but three people I think BB really can't stand in the NFL are Jeff Fisher, Tony Dungy and Eric Mangini.
