No one should be bringing up 19-0 right now, nor should they if the Pats win the first 10 games either. Let's "worry" about that if it actually comes down to week 14, 15 or so.
As far as the "2 new WR's who have never seen action with the Pats," who? Welker (he signed the franchise tag way back in April or May, and is quite happy about making almost 10 million this year), Gronkowski, and Hernandez will still be the top 3 targets, just as they were last year, only now we actually have a downfield threat again to add to the mix.
All they did was add Llyod, who has major knowledge and success in Josh McDaniel's system as an intermediate/downfield threat to open up the underneath and middle routes more. They also brought back Gaffney (he has amazing chemistry with Brady from prior seasons and is coming off back to back 65-70 catch seasons with the lowly Broncos and Redskins throwing him the ball), and Stallworth (who also succeeded here in his role during the 2007 18-1 season). Those two guys have plenty of experience with all 3 of Brady, Belichick, and McDaniels. The number 4, 5, and 6 targets have certainly improved from last year; especially considering it was Branch, Kid n play, and Ochocinco in 2011.
Add in Fells as the 3rd TE, and an expectation that the RB's will also contribute as last year was the only year in about 7-8 where they didn't catch at least 50+ passes, and the offense is pretty well set again.
If they can keep the QB upright, they should almost certainly be in serious SB competition, as they have improved in many other areas of the offense from last yr's freakshow already.
To wrap it up though, I certainly agree with you that any talk of 19-0 is completely ridiculous at this point. I have a feeling that some folks on the Packers sites are likely doing the same thing though, although that is no excuse either. The Saints will likely be right there in January, just as they usually are too, but no team/fanbase should be squaking about 19-0 right now.
i have a bad feeling history is going to be made in the negative way, no idea how...
always love your post supafly. Our season depends on our coaching staff depth now, and not on our player depth. With a full coaching staff this might be the most talented team we have ever had on both sides of the ball. Without SP, and Vitt for 6 games I think were a 10-6 team if lucky.
but if anyone could pull of a 19-0, I would put my money on BB.

I hope we beat the Titans on September 9.
All these threads should be combined into a flash drive, deleted from the internet, and shot into space. The karmic and social repurcussions are deadly, and makes me feel dirty even seeing it here, like I have entered a Jets forum. I for one don't like that so many people are glad when we lose. Threads like this evoke that in people--they will be rooting for the Pats to lose.
Yes, we will all die someday.

I'm almost with you rw. I do appreciate that kind of attitude because it shows that the focus is right. The 4-0 deserves top priority.Would love to see a 19-0 season.
Would equally love to see a 9-7 season and go 4-0 in the playoffs.
Accept your opinion but have to straighten out a little confusion about the facts.This thread is crazy. 19-0 are you insane. You have 2 new WR you have never seen in action with the Patriots, and Welker might not sign. No one knows if your defense won't be crap next year.
18.9 - 0.1the last time the pats had that situation they only went 18-1.
This is preseason, and the team's not even finalized yet. I seriously doubt that the Gods of Karma have started paying attention to fan comments about the upcoming season already.
It could be Cleveland or Kansas City (if you catch my irony.)Seriously, who is going to beat us this year:

The human mind often talks itself out of success because of self induced limitations. Leaders cannot think that way. Leaders go where nobody else has gone and they don't second guess themselves to death.Yeah, I don't think we would ever fathom a perfect season. If 19-0 was ever brought up in our forum I don't think anyone would even post a response,lol. Its just to far fetched for our team.
I would sweat the Cleveland Complex more. Which nobody team (the Rams?) will ambush a team coming off of a 50 point blowout?Playing in BAL will be tough.
