    We suck the year the Pats suck and finally look vulnerable. Everyone has confidence now against them since Foles beat them and brady is showing age and they have no talent on defense whatsoever. Why me

    What you see now might not be what you get later. That being said....why not us? The problem is we need a philosophy change on D. There is time to fix things on D but we have to start going in the right direction now...I'm just not so sure our brain trust on the defensive side is capable...

    Pats started 1-2 last year too I think. They don't suck. They'll reel off 7 in a row after this like always

    Gotta get past the high flying Ravens first.
    They’re having fun.

    It is still very early in the season to say a particular team stinks. The 2007 Giants started 0-2, giving up 80 points in the process. They ended up beating the Pats in the Super Bowl.

    Well to be fair I saw a stat today teams starting 0-3 have made the playoffs 2% of the time. I know we would be 0-2-1 but you get the picture. They lose tonight and the season is basically over

    If we get our act together against Tampa I will be pleasantly surprised. 1-1-1 does not look so bad against 2-1, but I have to say I doubt we fix our badly broken band wagon by game time. I think it takes another loss to get a sense of urgency.

    They're doing it intentionally to mess with you because you think this is all about you. They're not fond of fans who do that. You should call them up without delay and let them know you won't do that anymore. Then we'll all be happy - players and fans. :smiley1:

    Yeah we start bad for like 7 straight yrs as well, then the coaching adjusts to what other teams are doing to beat us(or to slow us) then we always get on a roll...we have one loss so far.....

    That team had better coaching and a great pass rush, the Steelers have no coaching or pass rush. As for the Pats losing 2 in a row, it is funny because all the talking heads in the media are expecting them to get their issues fixed while they talk about the Steelers as if our season is already doomed.

    A Cheatriots loss in any capacity is a great day in my books. Just savor it.

    They usually fall on the "Belichick always adjusts well". Which is true. But it does amuse me that the Patriots went into the Lions game only dressing 3 WRs, and are now pinning their hopes on Josh Gordon to save them... a different coach would be getting all kinds of flak for how they've ended up in that situation.

    The other thing that's happened this weekend is Mahomes has shown he remains the real deal for now. 35 points in one half. He's going to make a lot of defenses look awful. Which is not to say ours isn't bad - it is. But I think the game tonight is huge for us in terms of showing what our defense is this year. We've had one game in awful weather and one game against an astounding young QB. I'm looking for glimmers of hope tonight...

    Tonight is as close to a must win as you can get. The Ravens will be looking to pour salt in the wounds next week if we lose. I don't have any basis in proof but I think the D will play well tonight. My biggest concern is what Ben do we get tonight....basic cable Ben or Directv Ben. This team needs more consistent offense on the road and more consistent D overall from players and a solid gameplan by the coaches. I just hope the plan isn't to underestimate Fitzpatrick....

    I'm more worried about the Stains than the cheats.

    Patriots will end up 13-3. Carve it in stone.

    The Patriots always get the benefit of the doubt, and honestly, why wouldn't they? They're a rock-solid organization.

    All that said, we win tonight and everything is back on track. I'll miss Bell during the games, but the offense will never be an issue. The defense needs a week-one-like game, and I think they'll get it.

    People are also underestimating how big it will be to have Joe Haden back. Dude is a HUGE piece for us.

    Pats can start 0-4 and still make the playoffs. Pats can have the worst offense in Brady's career and still make our defense look like trash.

    only worried about tampa bay right now :)
