It's easy, and only takes a few moments.The only way the Pats struggle is if their defense is really bad, like '02 and '05bad. However, if their defense plays well, the combo of Moss and Brady win at least 12-13 games. Lastly, the Pats have one of the easist schedules in the league. The Giants have a hell of a lot more to prove than the Pats. The Giants will struggle, not the Pats.
This will be the first time in football history that the superbowl loser has a bigger target on their back then the superbowl champions. Nobody cares for the Giants or takes them seriously, which I love. Everyone knows the Cowboys are better and the Eagles (who used to dominate the division) may suprise with their revamped team.
Jason Whitlock's writing is like a see-saw: sometimes good and sometimes bad.
In this case it's just downright terrible.
He thinks the Pats will only win 10 games and be one and done?
Ha. He's saying this about a team that's never went one and done in the BB era.
The only real news would have been if Whitlock predicted an improvement over 18-1. Having him predict less of a record isn't the least bit surprising.
Less of a record is fine, but struggle's a bit much. Did I read he predicted 10-6? If so I think that's pretty low balled. All 'less of a record' has to be is 17-2, OR 18-1 WITH a SB win. Realistically tho- just get HFA and all will be well.
But you bring up something interesting- Brady commented that this year's team is better than last year's. We know that he probably means we've filled some holes, made some necessary changes, and learned some things from last year-all those things make them a better team and no matter what their record ends up being there's only one win that matters to them.
So, in essence, they can still be a better team without beating last year's record.
What's the big deal? So the guy made a prediction. Who cares?
plus they might not get 4 lucky breaks late in a mnf game

I'll be fair and give him the benefit of the doubt and say it's possible the SB hangover hurts us. But he gives us absolutely no logic in just jumping to that ridiculous 10-6 conclusion, which is when I stopped reading.

Whitlock's basic reasoning for his prediction is that we will still be fatigued from last season. Apparently he's forgetting about this little thing called the offseason.
No big deal, he's just going to be WRONG!!!.
That and he's fat and annoying.
