How many games will the loss of #12 cost us?

[memento]

none. games are earned, not guaranteed.

the only thing it changes is how many games we think we should win. i'm looking in the 10 range.

Originally thought 14-2... now I'm thinking 11-5 or 10-6.

Colts and Chargers are going to be very tough to beat when they round into form. Pittsburgh already looks tough. Seattle will be a hard game if they ever get their WR's back, it's a tough stadium to play in. Of those games I think we'll somehow squeak 1 out. Split with the Jets and Bills, win the rest except maybe one. Gut feeling says we still win the division.

Wow, I would hate to be one of the other 52 players on this team (especially Bruschi, Rodney, Vrabes etc...) or one of the coaches. The lack of respect they get from their own fans... amazing.

I don't understand why any of these guys would even play anymore if the only reason they were a serious playoff contender was because of Brady. Two days ago we had an extremely easy "cream puff" schedule. But now we'd be lucky to win 8,9, or 10 games? Barely make the playoffs? One and done?


2008 Patriots are better than the 2001 Patriots from top to bottom, including QB, much better in fact.
