How Disappointed Will You Be Starting 0-4 or 1-3?

[1960Pats]

Didn't we start 1-3 for three years straight with the immortal Mac Jones?

That was before they started to coach him up down in Jokesonville.

but we weren't until Bill was gone

I know when it started spiraling last last after the NO game.. Bill kept saying "start over" .

I’m not expecting the Pats to win more than what I can count on one hand. But, I still won’t pick them to lose in the predict the score weekly contest.. I want to see them competitive and minimal mistakes. I just don’t think they have the offense to score enough points.

 

[stinkypete]

Not at all, it's what I expect.

 

[Thelonious]

I've been a fan since they were the Boston Patriots, so I have been through some pretty extensive dry spells! You just root for the team in a different way. You don't root so much for the record as for progress. You don't gloat over wins; you look for reasons to hope. It's a different sort of fun. You tell yourself, "Well, we may not have won, but..." then cite some bright spot in the gloom. It's the way most fans root for their teams. We were blissfully or freakishly immune from this reality for a remarkably long time, but the general nature of things will always reassert itself. Let's all reread Ecclesiastes, reflect on vanity, and move on, hoping for things to turn as they pretty much always do, in time.

I expect them to start the season off pretty slow. Really, I want to see enough from the line that the rest of the offense can be competitive. If it's run for nothing, sack, run for nothing over and over, it's going to get very old, very fast.

1-3 is what I anticipate. 0-4 would be a bit of a disappointment because it would likely mean that the offense is still stuck in neutral. However I wouldn’t be too worked up about it.

I think the funnier question is how this board would react if this team started 3-1 or 4-0.

Looks to me like this board is well prepared for an historic tanking job. I'm sure the coaching staff and front office is quite relieved that they can't fail to meet such low expectations. I wonder if 83 year old Robert Kraft is that patient though...

Incredible job for the organization to punt on a season and have the fan base believing they did a good job.

Other than veteran knowledge Brissett brings no threat to the position that DCs are worried about. For example Josh Mcown, hoyer were all veterans that never posed threats to a defense. As you've seen me post. If throws are off, INTS, I expect him to be sat sooner than we'd expect. Because if the offense looks any semblance to last season than Brissett Will be benched.

That seems about right. If they played Cincy tough week 1. Where it was a 1 score game all throughout the game I believe that would do so much for thier confidence. As great as Burrow is Mayo's not going to just sit back and allow him to pick apart the secondary. I want gonzo to put his stamp on this game, and show why's he is projected to be a future ALL PRO.

 

[Hyped]

**** this bullschitt...

4-0, baby! LFG!!!

 

[signbabybrady]

Somehow I just don’t see that. Didn’t they surrender 15 sacks in practice vs Philly?Maye would decrease the sacks but would still take a lot of punishment. JB will be lucky to see week 4. He’s not very mobile and thats gonna be a problem.

They don't hit the QBs in practice so that is dubious reporting

 

[Zuma]

I believe they will win a game within the 1st 4 and I won’t be disappointed.

 

[FredFromDartmouth]

1-3 would be great. Better than I expected. It means that there is smidgen of hope...but it also means that they will threaten their draft position.

Gonna feel like taking castor oil as a kid. It’ll suck but *eventually* it’ll fix you up. So we gotta think how great it will be getting the best college offensive tackle on the planet with that #1 pick!!

I've sid personally this season is important for alot of reasons.
1. We need for the NFL world to see Drake play to attract FAs. As well as knowing for sure on our future star.
2. Setting the foundation for the new regime.
3. Getting the new offense entrenched
4. I believe it's better for us to try to win more than loose, as say a 7-10 or 8-9 record still assures us a 1st round pick, while potential FA see a budding team with a great young QB.

Remember doing that in Curtis Martin’s rookie year. The team definitely had a let down year but his rookie season was fun to watch starting with that Cleveland game week 1.

 

[PScottman]

Expectation management.

I have have no expectations; therefore they need no management.

 

[VJCPatriot]

LOL. Did you expect to go 14-2 this season?

Let's be real based off the prior 4-13 season we weren't going to be very good this year.

I'm expecting around 6 or 7 wins at the most this year.
