But we're improving faster than any team in the NFL, as Brady gains more confidence and the defense learns each other's names (with Mayo out, only something like 4 starters otu of 11 returned on the defense). The Pats team that played the Ravens was exponentially better than the pathetic version that squeaked by Buffalo.

Well considering the Ravens had to beat the Patriots and the refs it's not suprising that the Pats were able to squeak by the Ravens.
