My friend PK sent me an email after the Ravens game which I've posted. He also sent a copy to my brother who then responded in kind:

We will not have a letdown. Too much experience on this team (again, whythe Trotter and Douglas signings were so big). Also, Reid won't let ithappen. Reid is the best coach in the NFL not named Belichek. He keeps theteam even keel. He gets wrecked for his lack of comments or apparentemotion, but that's why this team overcomes the adversity that happens intoday's NFL. His press conferences are the same after wins as they afterlosses. I imagine you couldn't tell the difference between yesterday'spress conference and the one after the Pats last year in September. I trustReid will not allow us to be too flat. How can you not trust him after thepast 3-4 years (regular season). Belichek is much the same way. Thatcalming force is part of the reasons we could actually run the table.

WhenI looked at schedule at beginning of season I saw 14-2. The reason was allthe hard games were at home (beginning of season Steelers weren't good).Panthers/ Vikings/Packers/Ravens - all home. I can't see worse than that atthis point. Remember it's now November. Andy doesn't lose often inNovember (it must be his excitement for turkey/potatoes and stuffing!).The Vikings were all the rage the past few weeks. Look what happened tothem - at home!!

Goal #1 - win division DONE
Goal #2 - get bye DONE
Goal #3 - HF throughout DONE
Goal #4 - SB trip TBD

Think about it. If we play bad the next 9 weeks we still go 12-4. At worstwe tie the Vikings. We own tie breaker. No chance the giants go 12-4.At this point the only thing to play for is history. Why not us??
