Do you really believe that they dont give a damn?We struggled against a Jets team that were playing horrible when we played them and were a Cowboys first down from losing, a Cowboys team that is getting hammered by a team coming off the bye, just like we were.
No excuses. This team needs to start playing like they give a damn, or we won't even make the playoffs. Because we have a hungry Giants up next and then play the Jets at home.
Right because the last thing we would ever want is a fan base that is optimistic about a 6 and 2 team coming off a 14 and 2 season.The Patriots should beat the Giants next week, because the Giants aren't really designed in such a way that they should be able to force the Patriots into the kind of defense they tried yesterday. As long as the O-line can keep Brady somewhat clean, the Patriots should win.
Unfortunately, that means that the homers will come out and start insisting that all is well, the ship's been fixed, and the Super Bowl is a fait accompli.

Perhaps you should root for a loss.
As a Patriot fan you should be nervous about EVERY team they play. Without Brady, this would be a bottom feeder.
Plain and simple. This defense is ATROCIOUS.
11-5 in '08 isn't bottom feeder. That was one win away from making the playoffs which is downright crazy as the Chargers made the playoffs at 8-8 IIRC.
I'm nervous.
I think they'll bounce back and play better (they usually do after a loss) but the Giants have a lot of weapons on offense and the Pats secondary is so bad that it would make even the worst offense look halfway decent.
Bradshaw
Nicks
Manningham
...and the emergence of Cruz (UMASS!) make for a pretty scary match up vs. our secondary.
