Assuming these guys can mentally get past that loss (good thing it was week one), they SHOULD have the attitude of being able to hang with anyone on their schedule. If they had won that game, I would have been happy with a 3-0 win over Tampa. Now, I am really banking on them to put a hurting on the Bucs.
For me to FULLY get back into a really good feeling about this team (2:06 to go on Monday), I want to see dominance on Sunday. Then and only then will I feel that this team is heading in the right direction and allow myself to think playoffs.
Sunday might not look like a big test as far as opponents go but it will certainly tell me a lot about their confidence going forward. I wanted nothing more than to see that team come out of the tunnel after a Pats victory but that's the way it crumbles.
BRING IT all day long players and fans alike!!!
