Do you guys still believe in the team this season? One thing I think we all should've learned over the years is to NEVER count the Patriots out. With both Richard Seymour and Matt Light returning within the next couple of weeks, and hopefully some improved play from the Secondary, I still don't see how you count this team out. The Patriots looked equally as bad against the Steelers last season, only to dominate them in the playoffs.

Don't count out the Pats yet!

Yeah, but everyone is counting them out when the Playoff run arrives.

The Pats have an INCREDIBLE 2nd half of the season record the last 3-5 years. I wouldn't count them out, but I wouldn't hold my breath either.

They're 4-4 and the toughest 1/2 of thier schedule is done. I see them finishing 10-6. Losing to KC or the Bucs, and 1 of the inter-division games. They'll be in it at the end, and if they can get some of the injured players back, they'll still be force to reckon with.

I can now see Indie going 16-0, though. Perhaps all the way, since they'll have homefield advantage in the playoffs.

You sound like the Germans in 1944.

You had a great run, but it's over.

Better AFC teams: Colts, Bengals, Broncos, Steelers, Chargers.

Hopefully we'll get some of our injured guys back in a few weeks. Then we'll be ready for a playoff run that NOONE will expect.

I concur. And you can add KC and Jacksonville as teams that are just as good if not better. They should thank their lucky stars that they're not in the AFC West.
