- playing in Foxborough
- going against Brady
- coming off of a near record beat down
- rookie QB behind a shaky O-Line
- Rams D embarrassed last week and showing cracks
- embattled Head Coach who may have lost his team... certainly has lost the media and most of the fan base.

It would be a win for the ages if they pull it off.
I will be surprised if they can keep it under a 2 score beat down. I realize the players feel embarrassed by last weeks loss, and will be determined to make amends, and show that is not who they are. But they are still over matched, and will be out coached. Playing with that chip on their shoulder will fade after the first few series of play.... then the mistakes, the lack of discipline, the poor game planning, and decision making, all will start to steamroll.
It is somewhat of a talent issue, but mostly it's a leadership issue....
