Wow. This is dumb on an epic level.
Look: a Brady gets you a win in a crazy shootout, and then if you have any sense at all you sit down and say, "okay right but shouldn't we play some D?"
Granted, 13 points doesn't win you many games. But do you guys understand we just gave up 5 TDs (including the pass) to Ronnie Brown... you know, the guy looking over his shoulder at the resin-coated shell of Ricky Williams?
Was Matt Cassel supposed to tackle him (or cover the receivers, or sack Pennington a time or two?)
A LOT broke this game. It was a classic letdown game. This team sucked. I am sure none of that is lost on Belichick.
You guys who are convinced that BB ain't crap after one loss can take a hike. It's as idiotic as Brady being a "system QB" that can't exist without BB. Every play in every win (and every loss) the QB and the coach are BOTH involved. You haven't seen Brady play on a team coached by Lovie Smith. Remember that.
But MOST importantly, it's one loss dum-dums. We're 2-1, not 2-14. Face reality my big fat furry white behind. "Face reality," this team's not done, this season's not over, and you're a wuss to quit on them now. And you need to tell yourself that until/unless this team is mathmatically efreakinliminated.
Any of you guys remember thinking in the middle of 2-4 starts, "we can still make 10-6... it will take a lot... maybe we can squeeze in at 9-7..." ...and then waiting, and being 2-6, and thinking "okay we can still run the table..."?
There are teams like that every year. We use to be one every year. Hell, we MIGHT be one now. But that's when you are SUPPOSED to start believing.
So what, the first time the season's not handed to you on a blue and sliver platter, you say "season's over, it's all Brady, nothing to see here, let's all get some sleep"?
What crap.
I really hope they get it together after the bye. I really hope they're not spoiled too, after they whined about fans whining... there's two sides to it, sure. But this defeatist bullcrap totally pisses me off.
