Well, I think Madden tends to ride bandwagons a lot. I remember when the Pats beat the Rams in the Superbowl. Madden kept questioning the decision to go for the win in regulation, kept saying they should kneel for the tie and go to OT.
Well that is not how they got to the superbowl and it is not how they won it. They won it by going WOT at all times and not "settling" for ties. They were underdogs for like 12 straight wins or something that year. After the game Madden gushed about the "genious" of the decision to go for it. What a tool.
The Patriots are a freaking juggernaut. They are, I think, the most dominating team ever, if not the best. They have NO weaknesses and execution is 99% flawless. Really something to watch.
I will take flak for this, but I think there are only 3 teams in the AFC that can MAYBE take them out. It would have to be almost a fluke, but of course the Colts could do it. Even though they have not executed well recently, and have suffered key injuries.
Steelers POSSIBLY, but not if they play like yesterday.
BUT, and think about this, the Browns held them to a 17 point victory. AND I think the second lowest point total. AND scored 17 points on them.
I think because Cleveland is a young fireball team with solid fundamentals, they actually have the best chance. They kind of tripped up that "perfect" Pats offense. Maybe the miscues the Browns have in their statistically bad defense actually helps make it a little unpredictable to the Pats surgical offense. And they really don't know that they are not supposed to be 6-4.
Nobody told THEM they are supposed to lose.
Kind of like the Patriot team that beat the Rams. :idea:

I think its makes football much more exciting to have the dominate teams. With free agency and salary caps its pretty tough to build a great team and then try to keep it together. NE has kept things going for quite a while there, amazing
team. Parody in the league is what the NFL seems to like but is very boring.
I love how people want to give out the trophy before the ENTIRE season is done. There is no doubt that the Pats are the best team in the league right now, and as dominating(so far) as any team has been. But, last time I checked you have to win the last game of the season to be considered the best. Not until they actually set the records and win the Super Bowl can they be the "best team ever". Still 6 weeks left.

The only way I see them not winning the rest of them is if they get to the last 2 games and have home field advantage secured and then pull out Moss and Brady. It's a possibility, and the smart move. IMO
F the Pats they will go down
best team ever........:idea: .im not a big niners fan, but id have to say the niners of the 80s
They will NOT go undefeated. Mark my word on that.

I dunno about that ... only have two teams left to play with a winning record
Giants and Steelers
My $$$ is on GreenBay this year.
F--- the Patriots!!!!!!!

Care to make a friendly wager? If the Pats lose a game, I'll put on a dress and post the picture. Injury to an offensive back (starting) will negate the bet.
Any takers?
Fact, Any team with a losing record has lost by, what, 30 points or so? Any team with a winning record has lost by, what, 17 points or more?
I am not a huge Pats fan, but they are just surgical in the dismantling of opponents.
Injuries is their only possible enemy. The only chance of losing one. IMHO
