The fats in the fire now

Yes they lost to all the really bad teams and beat all the really good teams , including the best of teams like San Fran and Pittsburg.

So if we were a bad team we'd have a better chance against them than we do as a good team??

Yes our loses were to two playoff teams. But its still a fact that we lost to the only 2 real good teams we played.

I still say its "gloom and doom" unless Brady lights up the place with brilliant play. Its our only hope. I think he can do it if we give him even average protection from the O line. The other thing Brady must do is see the blitz , audible for quick passes to the tight end and Welker.

Whatever else you think as a knowledgeable football fan, you got to know this whole game pivots around Brady's performance today so take the time to say a "Hail Mary" for Tom.

As long as Brady is solid and doesn't start throwing interceptions, I'd say the Pats D will be able to handle the Ravens offense. The Ravens are pretty one dimensional offensively, and I really dont see them scoring more than 20 points. Anyone notice that the pats are finally healthy (or close to it) on D? I think that bodes well for today's game. That being said, the Ravens defense, as good as it is, won't be able to stop the Pats offense, and certainly won't hold them to 20 points or under.

41-20 Pats
