How am I usually wrong with most of my predictions? I have been very optimistic ever since BB arrived. Guess what I was overly pessimistic before he did. How did that work out for me? The Patriots just completed the most successful decade in the NFL and one of the 3 best decades in NFL history, and you are telling me that my position as having among the highest expecatations of them makes me usually wrong? Are you nuts?
It is very reasonable to be concerned about the defense, because we have made a lot of personnel changes. But to decide based on a half of preseason football that the defense, you know the one that has ranked, 5,8,4,2,17,2,1,17,6,17 in points allowed in the last 10 years since this coach took over, is ignorant.
Yes, I am optimistic because I believe in Belichick. That has made me right more often than most around here.
But for you to just throw the defense into the bottom 5 because of a meaningless preseason game is stupid. Worse, you have nothing to back it up, other than it apparently makin you feel better to take a whining, the sky is falling approach.
LOL, okay. You're a "glass is half full" kind of guy. I'm "glass is half empty" kind of gal. Let's leave it at this: I hope I am wrong, that you are right, and that my glass runneth over.
