The most confident I felt going into a season was 04. Coming of our second win and adding Corey to the team I felt for the first time like saying 19-0 wasnt just being a nutso homeboy fan.
I felt extremely confident in 07 and also predicted 19-0 but I think the confidence was slightly less not much but slightly I thnk two things contributed here our D had shown signs of aging the past few seasons and as it turned out this was the last hurrah for several of them but I think the bigger factor was Moss' injury in TC. While with hindsight it is foolish to think that made us nervous but at the time none of us new the chemistry that was there between Moss and Brady.
With Hindsight knowing how 07 went it has hard to say that I think this year will be better but taking hindsight out of it I may actually be more confident in my preseason thoughts of this year vs 07. I doubt it ends up as statistically magical but I think this team could be close to that level of play. I dont think it is crazy to think this team is better than last years and there is only a few games more that can be won.
