I'm confident, but poop happens too. We've been spoiled by the record-setting lack of turnovers, but it's not impossible to see the Pats suddenly have a 3 or 4 turnover game. Jets could get a tip at the LOS that gets picked off for 6.
I don't think we'll see a complete breakdown on one side of the ball like the Saints had up in Seattle with all of those long TDs given up. If the Pats lose, I think it will mostly be attributed to turnovers and fluke plays rather than getting their hats handed to them.
Wes' comments about the poor practice give me pause...slight pause.
Still, since the start of the Steelers game the Pats have put together the best string of offensive gameplans in their history, even better than *any* 8-game stretch of 2007. The convergence of talent and play calling to both maximize the talent and exploit weaknesses in the opposing D is something I haven't seen since perhaps the 1994 49ers got on their roll around mid-season. This isn't the same offense that went down in week 2, one that was unsure of its running game, relied too heavily on a predictable spread offense that forced balls to its WRs (Moss in particular), rarely used previous plays to set up the next play (the lack of play-action drove me crazy) and just simply never confused the opposing D as to what was coming. Rex eats up those type of offenses, but as December 6th showed he's overmatched against the current one. I would be shocked if things change significantly from then.
