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.

theyre prob like 15-1 at this point (maybe im way off?) so its something to think about

I still think in early 06 when they were declaring the USC team the best ever and having polls of USC vs former champs every day was more absurd, especially since they lost the bowl game a few days later.

Yeah but nobody knew yet that Vince had healing powers.

Not so absurd. ESPN said the same about Red Sox at 2-0...

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.

I guess you missed their preseason Notre Dame analysis.

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.
