Where does stupidity like this breed?
In 2007, the Giants didn't beat a winning team and lost to the Cowboys twice very badly. In week 14 they were hammered by Washington in the Meadowlands, then beat Buffalo, then lost to us.
In 2006, the lots of mediots picked KC to run all over the Colts. 2006 was the only time the mediots buried the Colts. Last year, they entered the playoffs as the hottest team going up against an 8-8 Division champion.
In December 2005, the Steelers were 7-5, had lost 3 games in a row and the media and fans were in a stage of revolt. The Monday after the Dec 2005 Cincy loss, the center labelled the Steelers the worst team in football.
Here are the keys:
Offense and Brady continue their progression.
Defense continues to mature.
Injuries and where we are by the expected additions vs unknown subtractions.
21 Teams have 4 wins or better. With 7 games to go, 21 teams are Super Bowl contenders. That includes the Patriots. Do you feel better now. It would be nice though to win a road game in this country. With three losses already to AFC teams, the Pats are hurting in the tie breaker categories , so this team may be on the road for 1-2 playoff games.
