I think i may be the only one who has faith in our team. I don't see us losing to Carolina and contrary to what the NFL Network says, I don't think our schedule is THAT difficult. To be perfectly honest, I think we had the easiest schedule ever last year, and we blew it. That's why Buffalo and NY Jets had a good year too, they had the same easy schedule we did. If NE played more teams like Philly and Pittsburgh last year, they wouldn't have gone 14-2 (still the best Monday Night game ever)
I honestly think we can go 9-7 or even 10-6. I think Miami will surprise the NFL. I think the players are pissed there are no Monday night games, and the team is desperate to prove that they are NOT a .500 or below team. I doubt Miami can defeat NE in the friggin snow (damn you NFL) in December as their final game, but who knows.. if they play their cards RIGHT and SMART, they won't have to beat NE in order to get into the playoffs.
Here's to 2005 being a whole lot better then 2004. Hopefully :)
