I'd love so say I can see us winning out. That win over the Steelers gave me a serious boost of confidence in this team to seal a win. But, our offense is so makeshift now that it'll be hard to outscore the Pats. While there have been plenty of decent contributions from different players over the last few games, if you take Charles Clay out of the equation we are looking at 5-8. He's been that important to this offense.
Somebody - probably the Pats - will find a way to shut down Clay and then we're struggling to put points on the board with the scraps from the larder. No Keller, no Binns, no Gibson, no Miller. Sunday would be a great game to try and work Matthews and/or Egnew into the gameplan. But unless Clay can magically keep doing his thang unchecked, we'll have to rely on defensive scores to stay in touch, imo.
It's not the end of the world if we lose to the Pats - and hell we might beat them anyway - but I'm not as convinced of a win as I was with the Steelers game, by any stretch.
