Re: Then vs Now: The Ring Years vs 2005 and Beyond
My God, guys. Why are we writing the epithet already? This is a team that went 18-1 two years ago. They went 11-5 with an unproven QB last year. People on this board are acting like we're about to go 8-8.
We lost by one point to an undefeated team on the road due to a bunch of atypical happenings. Is our defense worse than 2004? Yes. Is our offense better than 2004? Absolutely. I mean, this team is SIGNIFICANTLY better than the '06 squad, IMHO. There is no way I'm going to expect mediocrity because we lost by 1 point in Indy.
The Patriots are a very good football team that proved they can go into a hostile environment and play competitively. There isn't much more you can ask for.
