Why is everyone so scared of the Patriots?

It is going to be difficult to contain Moss and Welker. Also Maroney seems to have emerged lately as a big threat on the ground.
I like our chances against their defense though.

the patriots have wes welker and randy moss

both are top 10 if not top 5 WR's in the nfl right now

plus tom brady who is a top 3 QB

and a amazing offensive line


id say thats why people are scared of them.

And they may have the best coach in the NFL.
 
I'm not scared of them, but they are a really good team. They will be the best team we will face this season until the playoffs. We very well could lose this game if we dont take care of the ball. If we can limit the turnovers like we did yesterday, we should win this one, but I believe it will be a close, and very entertaining game.
 
I'm not ....why do you generalize so much?
 
I think the main reason is that they are the ONLY team left on the schedule that is any good. They are the only team left on the schedule that has a real (as opposed to fluke) shot at knocking us off. Sure, we could still lose any of the 6 games remaining, but against the Falcons, Skins, Cowdung, Bucs, and Panthers, losing would be a fluke because none of them are very good. The Pats, however, are a good team - not outstanding like in 2007, but a good team nonetheless - and supposedly motivated to keep us from matching their regular season undefeated record.

That's why. I think we've got all the pieces to smash them, of course, but it is the NFL and anything can happen. We'll see. I agree with the OP, though. Even with the threat of Wes Welker and Randy Moss, they should be more scared of us.

i watched them dismantle the 10-0 colts for 56 minutes..

maroney with fumble issues and in my opinion got robbed of the first down to ice the game.

granted that was probably there best game played this year. but they looked good.

not scared at all.. I can't wait to beat them and really get respect. 10-0 should be respected, but as usually you really only hear about the 10-0 colts. When we take out the pats then the respect will come.

That's funny, because I watched the Colts dominate the 2nd half. I also watched Peyton Manning eat their secondary alive.

Brees will get his playing this team. You can write it down.
 
We won 10 games in a row. Any Team that wins 10 is a good/great One. No turnovers and we will win. They should be scared, not us.
 
Not scared of Pats for a number of reasons. D will get to Brady. Pats D will not get to Breesus. Saints have more weapons on Offense. Greer will be back and he has played against Moss a few times. Sharper will help out. Saints have a better running game. Last but not least its in the Dome. I think the Vikes are a bigger threat. AP and Favre and great D with pass rush. Plus if we play the Vikes it will be for the NFCC. Pats are just one regular season game. However Pats are a really good team. If and I say If Saints lose the turnover battle against the Pats it will be very very difficult to beat them.
