WHO CARES Polls mean ****. Adding Takeo, Adams , Posey , And Roll players mean more then that poll.

[Novacane]

Good..........that just means we're under everyones radar........we'll be able to sneak up on people

[THATHURMANATOR]

Who cares.

[R. Rich]

This gives us a chance to clear the bandwagon of anyone other than true believers and diehard fans. Good, I don't want any of them picking the Bills to win. In fact, pick us to finish last! Give guys like Spikes, Fletcher, Posey, Williams, Adams, Wire, Winfield, Clements and company more inspiration!

[Jan Reimers]

Good. we'll show 'em. Nobody circles the wagons...

The NFL is in for a very RUDE awakening this year.

What do I keep tellin' ya about the national level media!

Besides, looks like a cut-and-paste, w/ only a couple of exceptions, of last season's standings.

There's no way that N.E. finishes anywhere but in the basement. Every objective preseason mag that I've read fully recognizes that the Pats have enormous issues in their running game that are beyond serious. They realize that Smith didn't have a good year last year and is on the way down.

With all the balance on the other three teams in the AFCE, the Pats just aren't going to cut it w/ Smith at RB. Teams will be able to capitalize vs. them the way they did v. us last year. It's all gonna come down to how well Brady plays and how many mistakes he makes.

Again, you simply can't do well in this league when you rely nearly exclusively on your passing game for O. Their STs will aid their O, but not to the extent necessary to keep them out of the basement of the East.

Also, of the Pats' first 9 games, they face 5 of last season's playoff teams. The other 4 teams are Denver, Buffalo, the Fins, and Skins, all improved.

I'm tellin' ya, the Pats' schedule is a gauntlet!
