The morning papers still seem focused on what's wrong with the Pats. I guess I'm just a guy with rose colored glasses but I thought I saw a real good team that still has some wrinkles but they are going to smooth out fast.
First, we have a first class running game, something we've desired and although Dillon was good in 04", this is what we have been waiting for.
Second, the run defense seems much improved and despite the cries of losing Willie, it seems we have some strong depth there.
Third, the offensive line may be the best we've had during our run and its very young.
Fourth, last week people thought we had no receivers, this week it looks like we have a core of receivers that as a group should end up being better overall. Our guys have to be better than Dwight, Davis and Johnson.
Fifth, Tight ends approaching awesome.
Coaching looks solid as usual.
Let's see where we are at the bye week, I'm thinking 4-1 with Cincy being the questionable game, only because its away, but that doesn't mean we can't win it.
Let's stop being "hand wringing, petulant whiners" as described by Mike Freeman and leave that to the Media, they'll wake up and warm up to us in a couple more weeks.
And one last thing, don't look for perfection because it's not going to happen.
We dominated the Jets and they were lucky on two plays to get back in it. This team is a lot better than the media and some fans give it credit for.
