Adding on to that, show me one win on the road, outdoors, over a team with a winning record, and "they" will suddenly get it. Just like every new contender has always gone through. Some teams make the final psychological breakthrough. Some don't.
Like when we win in Foxboro in December.
Really though, if we sweep our division, which we have no excuse not to, I see us going 12-4. The Giants haven't been playing quite as well lately, and any game in AZ is winnable for us. The Eagles game is a Thanksgiving game, crazy things happen on off-day games. We should beat the Vikings, they have a poor pass D, as long as we actually tackle Peterson won't be enough to win it alone. NE is beatable this year plain and simple.
Point is we could win all of our games, we won't but anything less then 10-6 at this point is a disappointment to me. 12-4 means we are a SB contender for sure.
