FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- People wonder how the New England Patriots will react to failure.

They've been pressed with questions for the past six months, asked every way imaginable whether they can rebound from their letdown. After all, so many Super Bowl losers have failed to make the playoffs the following year.

For the most part, the Patriots haven't broken stride from their lockstep responses of a year ago.

"Right now, it's really not about last year," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. "It's about this year, and that is what we are going to concentrate on."

I don't believe the offense will be as destructive but it should be pretty close to what it was. But I can tell you write now there mantra is going to be "finish it". There is no way there not going for blood after that game. They want to prove to everyone that, last season was no fluke.
