I remember the last time the Bengals traveled to Foxborough. Patriots were coming off a 41-14 drubbing at the hands of the Chiefs and were sitting at 2-2 and almost everyone and their mother said "Oh...well.. it's over for Brady. The reign is over. The team is lost..."
The next week the Bengals swaggered into Gillette carrying a 3-0 record, and coming off a BYE week and ended up getting eviscerated 43-17 in a game that could have been much, much worse.
Bengals went on to lose to Indy in the Wildcard while the Pats won another Super Bowl.
Point is, New England is not normal. Conventional football terms like "rusty", "not on the same page" don't really apply to Belichick's crew. They, and especially Brady will be 110% ready to go and if we are not firing on every single cylinder we possibly can we will once again get boat-raced right out of the stadium.
