This might be the best season yet....

10-0 and honestly if we lose a game I don't think anyone would be heartbroken like we would have been in '07. The stress as a fan is nowhere near what it was... especially coming off a SB win. Let's hope for the best... Get the bye and if we end up on the 16-0 path .... GREAT! This team is more about team than in '07 when everyone wanted to pad their stats... So sit back and enjoy... We are watching something special.

Yes, because that is exactly what was going on

Brady definitely started forcing the ball to Moss late in the season... granted it's Randy Moss, he beats triple coverage!

I do think this team is more balanced, tougher, and more united than the '07 team (and the youth on defense is HUGE). Of course the offense can't afford anymore injuries.

I agree though. After '07, we realized that a Superbowl is more important than going undefeated. Not that you shouldn't aim to win every game, but with everything that's happened the last decade, I'm thrilled the Pats are 10-0 and feel much more relaxed about the games. I too wouldn't really care if they dropped two or three games. I only care about the playoffs, but winning the Superbowl last year just makes it all gravy. Even losing in the playoffs would merely be disappointing, not enraging like in the past.

I would still be annoyed if they lost. It wouldn't necessarily be the end of the world, but you play the game to win.

I agree that this team is more fun to watch than 2007, but I would still be disappointed if these guys cannot finish what those guys started. It's not time to concede anything.

Best yet? Maybe when all is said and done. I am tired of watching them go down to injury one after another.

I don't know but I enjoyed last nights game. These are the Patriots of the early 2000's. I look at this team more like the 2003 Pats than the 2007 Pats. The Defense is playing really well. Butler is coming into his own and if they get a 3rd corner back, they could be good.

I'm with you. The injuries are ridiculous this season. In one game, our WR corp was depleted. Who is left on the WR depth chart that is healthy? Lafell and who? And what has happened to the tightends? I expected a lot more production out of our tightends than what I have seen so far. Finally, this team better develop some type of running attack SOON. The O-line is getting healthy but they need to settle down. Brady will not last the season if they don't start getting more production out of the running game IMO.

It's great to be 10 and 0. It's AWESOME!! But I'm not blind. The offense has taken a huge hit from the injury bug this year. Thank the Football Gods that the Defense has been damn good.
Kudos to them. I didn't expect them to be this good after losing Revis and Browner in the offseason. But these guys are getting the job done and doing it very well.

Wish I could, but I no longer believe in the Football gods...but I am really liking this young D and our rocket scientist D coordinator.
