Have the chicken littles cleared out yet?

So, we lost to the Browns. And we looked horrible doing it.

Every good team has a rough game or two every season. No one goes 16-0 (well, one team did!)!

Sit back, if you will, and consider the following:

1. We are 6-2 at the halfway point. If someone offered you that deal BEFORE the season started, you wuold have taken it, right?

2. We have 8 games left, and need to go 5-3, 6-2 to finish where we want to be. Five of those games are vs. AFC opponents. 3 of them, against probable AFC Playoffs teams.

3. Forget the Browns. That's history. It would have been nice to be 7-1, but we're not, so let's move on.

4. Let's break down the rest of the year:

Sun 11/14/2010 8:20 PM @ Steelers
I think we lose this game, but I think we play MUCH better than we did in Cleveland. Let's say, 24-20, Steelers. (6-3)

Sun 11/21/2010 4:15 PM vs Colts
We win this one. I still think we match up well with the Colts. Just hoping we don't pick up any key injuries vs. Pitt. Pats 38, Colts 24. (7-3)

Thu 11/25/2010 12:30 PM @ Lions
This game will be closer than most folks think, but the Pats will beat the Lions. Pats 27, Lions 17. (8-3)

Mon 12/6/2010 8:30 PM vs Jets
Oh yeah, the revenge game. Pats 31, Jets 10. (9-3)

Sun 12/12/2010 1:00 PM @ Bears
The Bears are on a slide. Belichick will find a way to rattle Chicken Cutler. Pats 28, Bears 13. (10-3)

Sun 12/19/2010 8:20 PM vs Packers
At home against the Packers, I like our chances, but I think we could lose this one because Aaron Rodgers is that good. Packers 24, Pats 17. (10-4)

Sun 12/26/2010 1:00 PM @ Bills
Come on, are you kidding me? Ben Jarvus = 130 yards and 2 TDs. Pats 41, Bills 6. (11-4)

Sun 1/2/2011 1:00 PM vs Dolphins
Fishies no likey coldie. Pats 24, Dolphins 13. (12-4).

So there you go.

Relax.

Alright....good.....I'm going to call my bookie right now......!!!!

Dude... You can't make fun of the 'chicken littles' and then predict a loss against the Steelers. So your saying that the loss vs the Browns is the beginning of a losing streak? I just want to take the season one game at a time and I expect a win every Sunday. If the Pats happen to lose then they need to see where they went wrong and move on.

I agree. But it is really NOT a chicken little prediction.

I just think the Steelers are a better team than the Pats right now. Not by much, but still better nonetheless.

I think the two best teams the Pats play the rest of the way are the Steelers and the Packers, and since I think 12-4 is the goal, 11-5 in the very least, it would make sense to me to think of those two games as the most probable losses.

Hey, I hope they run the table and finish 14-2, as we all do!

Pure prognastication, Joneser. But if you want to call your bookie, be my guest. Actually, just send your money to me. I'll take your bets. Cash only please.

I like where the Pats are at...better to lose and be 6-2 and have to refocus than to get blindsided by Steelers and Colts......


Time to just "Do your job" and play better. Set the edge...tackle...focus...no fumbles....and BRADY, please quit thinking about that wife and kid and think about where you're THROWING the ball....hit the numbers, not the knees.

Well said. My point exactly.

6-2 is a real good place to be. Ask fans of about 29 other NFL teams and they would agree.

You expect a win every sunday? Way to be rational.
