New England barely snuck out of Monday Night with a win against the lowly Bills.
Because just like every other fan base, there is a portion that are overly optimistic homers.To those of you picking blowouts: Why?

Because everyone is allowed to have their own opinion. That's why Jets fans exist.
Seriously tho, Brady threw for 378 yards in his first full game in a year and a half. Despite Mayo, the Pats are only going to get better. Sanchez=deer in headlights.

Nothing wrong with that; I'd say it's a safe bet the same thing can be said about a portion of the fans of every NFL team.
There's probably also a portion that would have predicted a closer game but have seen what often happens when an opponent offers up some bulletin board material for additional motivation (Cowher telling the Steelers to pack their bags for the SB before the AFCCG, Freddie Mitchell in SB 39, Steelers' Anthony Smith, etc.) More often than not it ends badly for those that decide to declare how superior they are prior to a game against the Pats.
Well what exactly are you trying to say? That because the Pats only beat the Bills by one point that the Jets are now better than the Pats? That the Texans (8-8 last year) are so much better than the Bills (7-9 last year)? Ten days ago the consensus, even among Jets fans, was that the Pats were a vastly superior team. Now based on just one game - that the Pats won and dominated statistically, by the way - the Jets are now not only no longer a sub-.500 team but will also win the division, and the Pats have gone from Super Bowl contenders to missing the playoff entirely?That is true, about it ending badly for those who declare their superiority against New England. However, how much does that crap really matter? Come on. The Patriots were just flat out better than all those teams that talked ****. It doesn't make them focus or concentrate anymore than they would during a normal game -- or I should hope not. The media & fans just like to beef that stuff up. It just comes down to who has the better team. The Pats always have. I'm not sure about that this Sunday.

Want to re-think the finger pointing (or at least alluding to it) of delusional homerism? Or is possible that the talk from Rex, Jenkins and Rhodes has taken your hopes to a level where objectivity is not allowed to enter?
