The amount of doom and gloom on this board is intolerable. If the Pats had won last week as they should have there wouldn't be half as much crying over a 17-3 halftime deficit.
Or maybe there would be. Which would be just as characteristically pathetic.
There's just no excuse for stuff like "LOST SEASON" and "This just isn't our year" under these circumstances. If they drop to 5-3 then there still isn't any excuse. It's 5-3. They're inevitably going to get some important injured players back. Brady's abilities didn't just plummet over the course of a single off-season right after one of his best years ever, and he's not gonna have a gimp hand all season or whatever his deal is.
