Have I mentioned before how much I dislike the Patriots?

I'm beginning to think they should cancel the rest of the season and just give them the trophy....YIKES!

Bellichek is going to make every team in the league pay for his getting caught for his 'indiscretions', by running up scores. There's no doubt that they are good. Too bad points can't be taken off the board for lack of class.

I don't like the Patriots but still I think the ONLY team that stands 1/2 chance of beating them is Indy.

I'm sure Moss is very pleased with the move he made.

[MJZiggy]

And to think I used to like them. Now I don't. Never thought I'd say this without the Bears being involved. Go Colts!

The New England Patriots are as dominating a team I have ever laid eyes on. The way they move the ball with ease and precision is unbelievable. I remember Dallas in the early 90's, Joe Montana and Co., the Steelers, but, this is uncanny. It's like they just play with their opponents and do what they want at will, and with Belichek with a chip on his shoulder, running up the score as much as possible to make a statement to the league, it is becoming a joke. I don't know if I even want the Pack to make it to the Superbowl, for what, just to get our asses handed to us by them? I bet the Colts will get dominated by them also. They were up by 21 points in the playoffs last year to the Colts with no offensive weapons, I can only imagine what they are gonna do to them next week. Maybe I'm wrong, I actually live in Indiana, it would be cool if the Colts beat them and got them off their high horse. Watching them makes my stomach ache. I was hoping that Washington would give them a good game since we barely beat Washington, that would've made me think we were at least somewhat in their league. Yeah right. Moss catches EVERYTHING thrown to him. Wes Walker is like the second coming of Christ, and Stallworth is Allah. It's unreal to watch. Not to mention they could probably win by running every play and not even pass the ball. It's sick. But as a football fan, it is something special to watch, like watching Michael Jordan so many years actually turned me into a closet Bulls fan because of my awe and enjoyment in watching him. It's like watching Federer play tennis. And dominate everyone, and watching Tiger play golf. I love hating them. And why does Brady have to be so damn good looking too, that's just unfair. I wonder what Favre would be able to do with that team.

I like the Patriots, but BB throwing for the TD with a 38-0 win was junk.

Like the 70's Steelers, this team is surrounded by questions of illegal performance enhancers. This team is unique in that they add the whole "spy gate" contraversy into their dynasty lore.

That said, they are as dominating as it gets in pro sports. They will certainly be in the discussion for best team EVER. The HGH and spy gate will forever be used to debate legitimacy, but history shows these things are pushed aside, remembering mostly the greatness.

Spygate is having no effect now as they are crushing anybody who goes on the field against them.

Maybe I missed something, but where does the HGH come in ?

I agree that the Pats are playing at a level I have never seen any pro team consistently play.

I have watched enough football, however, to remember there are plenty of teams that had great seasons and then falter around playoff time. I am not claiming this will necessarily happen to the Pats. I am simply saying stranger things have happened.

It's a pick your poison proposition with them. Do you want to pressure Brady and possibly give up a defender in coverage or do you want to try and sit back in a zone and have the receivers shred you? If they actually do manage to cut off all the receiving routes, he checks down to a back. The really just take what the defense gives them.

There HAS to be a way to get smart pressure on him to try and alter some of the receiver's routes and the timing of their plays. If their opponents don't find a way to do these things, the Patriots are going to continue to have their way. Somebody just needs to smack the crap out of them.

Again, the league can really blame TT for the Patriot's big success this year. If he had gone after Moss with more abandon, he'd be our success story.

Agree completely; next week should be a great game against the Colts.

Maybe TT is getting a lil sidekick from BB and him botching up the Moss deal was destiny

Seriously, what a deadly combination of WR's

Randy Moss
Donte Stallworth
Wes Welker (use to be underrated)
Gaffney is OK

Ben Watson is a solid weapon as well

And kick in some good RB's and a solid OL and we get to witness dominance

Those were my questions too.

The old dolphins could have beat them and not run up the score they played for fun not with this big chip on their shoulder they had so much fun doing it. they had such a balanced team great coach far greater QB, 3 runbacks that played fantastic together wr group that kicked but they would have schooled the pats imo.
