Some fans might take these last two games for granted, but the Patriots certainly won't. It's never their style to disrespect an opponent and as we've all seen, and mostly, THEY'VE seen, any given Sunday. They need to get back to good fundamentals. Playing disciplined, playing up-tempo, creative play-calling, involving everyone, tackling properly etc. Basically what you saw in the Minnesota game. They can't do anything about the talent they don't have, this is the group they've got and they're going to live or die with it. But they CAN do something about good, sound fundamentals. Coaches and players who've been associated with good teams will all say the same thing, it starts and ends with the little things. When the Patriots play good fundamental football, the result seems to take care of itself. I predicted a Steelers win this weekend, and I also predicted that if the Pats lost, almost everyone would write them off. It's going to be more of an uphill battle than we would have liked, but with this group, who's faced more adversity in big situations than any other group in the NFL the past couple years, you can't ever count them out until the clock hits 0:00 and they have fewer points than their opponent in the last game of the year.
I hope Brady don't get em any Rolex Watches.
