Ahead of themselves?

One of the hallmarks of this Patriots team this decade has been their ability not to respond when others are talking, whether it be about them or to them. When players make guarantees or claims, New England replies that their game will do the talking for them.

But they may not have kept their lips zipped this week. After New York's upset, Giants receiver Amani Toomer implied that Pats players may have already had victory bashes in the works.

"They were inviting us to their parties after the game. They showed us no respect," Toomer said.

If true, it would be highly uncharacteristic of New England.
