Re: A reminder ( stay humble)
100% wrong? Maybe we watched different games.
How did I 'dis' anyone? I gave my opinion. Its different than yours. That doesnt mean I am 'dissing' you. Saying there is no such word as 'dis' so you should get a vocabulary would be 'dissing' you. But I didnt say that.
What was yuour prediction? Let me guess, you didn't make one?
What would you predict the Patriots record would be with the PROVERBIAL gun to your head. See it wasnt a LITERAL comment, like you are trying to make it. The point wasnt whether anyone is smart enough to figure it out. The point was that based on the way they have played, if you were forced to predict a final record, I would say undefeated, because I've seen nothing to indicate otherwise. Have you?
You need to relax. This is a damn message board. I choose to use it to voice my opinion, and sometimes venture predictions. You can use it however you wish.
The point of this thread was whether or not you are condfident or humble.
Not whether every prediction any one makes is correct or incorrect. Quite frankly, I don't know if you have ever made one, and if its been right or wrong, and don't care to look it up.
I said "I dont understand why......". You apparently feel you can tell me how I should think.
Maybe I did watch a different game than you because I sure didn't see us in the superbowl like you declared.
As far as us going undefeated, I have seen the 100 year history of the NFL as a prediction that it is not likely to happen, so yeah I have seen some evidence that it isn't likely.
If you need a prediction SURE to go wrong, than I think we will lose a game this year because Brady gets ahead of himself and throws a couple picks because he is so comfortable with Moss that he sort of just sticks it in there without thinking and then the game kind of gets out of hand, maybe a couple more turnovers from the run game, special teams or whoever.
We will likely lose a game at the end of the season if we are just playing our back ups.
We could just lose a game because the other team played better that day.
So I am predicting that we don't go 16-0. I am thinking that 14-2 is pretty realistic.
As far as being relaxed, I watch a lot of people around here babbling about chicken littles and sky is falling and homerism and all kinds of stuff. I see kneejerk reactions about every little thing, and people saying so and so is the best player in the NFL or so and so is the best line in the NFL after three weeks. I see people accused of being trolls because they don't tow the company line on every issue. I've seen people with a particular dislike for our OC or maybe a player on the team. I just try to stick to the facts.
I enjoy every victory, because I understand that it was hard fought, and that our players are only slightly better than other players around the league in most cases, because everybody in the league is good.
And I realize that it cheapens the process to suggest that we will simply go undefeated after three weeks.
I am thinking about how the Bengals game will go at this point, not whether Brady completes a touchdown record or Randy has the most yards ever or if we go undefeated or if we win every game by the score 38. I don't have a problem with staying humble. And that doesn't make me any less confident about the Pat.
