Come on guys; you talk in football terms all the time, isn't this a perfect time to look at it from this prospective?
Patriot has the ball; there are a lot of HUGE guys on the field; they are not going to let our team get to the goal without throwing everything they can at us.
Think of it in terms of the 'cup' game.
Our team is up to their eyes in strategy.
If we were in the bleechers, watching the game, we would be cheering as loud as we could for our guys, right?
All in my opinion, of course .... and I know nuttin' about football :-)
