Reality check!!

[HHURRICANE]

Dick Jauron get's alot of credit for having this team at 5-4 after all of the injuries. I also understand the excitement of a Sunday Night Game at home with the Pats. However:

1) We are playing the best team maybe in the history of the league and we are doing it without Lynch. I'll be rooting for a win but expecting a loss.

2) 5-4 is impressive no matter the opponant but our schedule now has us playing 5 teams with winning records who are all in playoff contention. So far, none of our wins are against opponants with a winning record.

3) After NE we are on the road against Jax and Washington. So 5-7 is completely feasible esepecially with Lynch potentially being out 3 weeks.

I love the Bills but we are not a playoff team. Our 5 wins are against some of the worst teams in football. Miami could be one of the worst teams ever.

I read the posts around here and I wonder if people actually watch any other games around the league.

When was the last time we felt like we actually deserved or had no doubt that we could beat a good team? People accept mediocrity but expect miracles at the same time.

I wouldn't mind being the favorite against a good team.

Just remember we are rebuilding when things don't look so good in three weeks.

Re: Reality check!!

It might be somewhat false optimism, but its optimism nonetheless, and its not completely unwarranted. This team played their ass off against an 8-1 team the last time we played under the lights. That's all I ask for this time around... solid effort in every department. I can walk away happy then. Also, if rebuilding were a 3 phase effort, we'd definitely be at the end of phase 2.

I'm hearing he might suit up for the game even though he is sore, must be 2 different people we know. As per him being out 3 weeks, you are so far off base it's pathetic. Take it FWIW.

Exactly, I cannot stand when people do that. If your statements make sense, it's totally cool. Way off base numbers and we cannot verify it, I cannot stand it.

Re: Reality check!!

If he has a high-ankle sprain, 3 weeks is pretty reasonable.

I posted this before the news conference. I'm not getting my friends in trouble for a fan board.

He'd also be listed as out as well. I think that you Pats fans (however cool) are gripping for us to lose some of our best players. That's right I said gripping, because come sunday night midnight, your perfect season * dreams are over.

First, I could care less about who is in or out for the game. I don't worry about things I can't control, I just turn on the TV and watch the games.

Second, my dreams don't involve the Patriots, or football in general. I love the game and all, but I tend to be more selfish when it comes to dreaming.
