Default ESPN sets new standard for premature analysis. Talk of undefeated NE

The season is 2 weeks old and ESPN just led off NFL by asking if the Pats can go undefeated. Even for ESPN, this is astonishingly absurd.

Wow...I guess at least if they are 13-0 or something later on, they can come back and say, "we told you during week 2 that this Patriots team had the potential to go undefeated."

This is retarded to talk about until at least week 10.

I think if they soundly win their first 9 games it wouldn't be retarded to talk about.

do you think they are like 82.5% to win each game? that's roughly what their average game win% would need to be to be 15/1 against

I think I watched the same thing. The exact question was: Which is more likely, a 0-16 team or 16-0 team? A fairly legit filler question.

That was the 2nd time they brought it up in the show.

The first time started with a reporter asking Belichick if they could go 16-0 to which he obviously said they were only concerned with Buffalo right now.

He should have just said, "Of course we can go 16-0." Just to see if he can be more hated than he is right now.

The Giants and the Pats are working on answering the question.
