I almost feel we'd have to be in the Locker Room to figure out to what degrees this is a function of Will, Talent and Coaching respectively, though Brady's post-game comments yesterday were telling.
I've so appreciated the ride since 2001 that I'm willing to sit back and see how the team and season unfold. I definitely see us in the Playoffs, where "anything can happen," so I'm going to wait until the Season is truly "over," and not just "over" because of a few disappointing losses (ok, "very disappointing losses").
My own pre season perceptions (as stated in Andy's "One Post a Week" thread before the Buffalo game) were that, while this was a team that, on paper, looked like a 13 or 14 win team, I expected it to go 11--5 because of the multiple intangibles in play (Brady's return, losses of Brewski, Rodney, Vrabel, Harrison, Seymour on D, etc). I have a big ego and like to be right, but that's one where I wish I had been wrong, as I now find myself having to hope that we're "only" 11--5.
How much of the "problems" are a matter of the pieces not working together, of the Coaches, of Brady not being fully Brady (in the opinion of some, but not necessarily of myself), I just don't know.
