It will be evident if you aren't winning those 11 games I mentioned by an average of 25 points. I know it's a lot to ask, but you proved last year that your team is really that much better than those 11 teams. If you are winning those games by 10 points or less (ala the B-More game last year), I'd be very concerned about playing SD, Indy and J-Ville.

I suppose, but keep in mind that the way we lost to the Colts in the AFCC two years ago was also in a VERY crushing manner, and they bounced back fine. I think the Belichick Kool-Aid is still in effect -- one game at a time.
But yes, obviously, the SB hangover could be in play. No way to know until it happens.
I don't think it's unnecessary to outscore teams by 25 to prove we're better. That's not how it usually works in the NFL. Last year was an aberration.
