Okay, the poll never said against the Patriots, and for the sake of the team I will answer like this:
9-10 times
Isnt that the amount of the last games they have won this season and playoffs?
Thats all that should matter, period.
Week to week, teams change, injuries, motivation, momentum, travel, exhaustion, what have you. Never mind year to year, whatever happened earlier this year means nothing, shy of some scouting which even that, Im sure, has been re-evaluated... they are simply not the same team we played earlier this season. This isnt baseball, so the point is moot, all we need is ONE win this Sunday.
