Smacking down a joke team that won with a pathetic schedule will not show that we can win anything. Still it was nice to see the fire yesterday in a supposedly meaningless game. They have awoken the beast. Woe be unto them.
I don't think they're a joke team. They had won 6 in a row against some good teams: Indy, Jax, Buffalo has been playing teams tough.
The fact is the Pats have won 3 in a row against a couple tough physical teams(Jax and Tenn) that run the ball very well. They're peaking and ready to go, plus they've done this without Wilfork and Watson and Faulk yesterday. Anytime you get a victory in the NFL it's hard earned. There are no roll overs, we saw that with Detoit.
