5. This has to be one of the best coaching jobs in Bill Belichick’s career. Winning 10 games with all those injuries is just amazing. And what the Pats have done with Matt Cassel has the rest of the NFL jealous.

6. The Jets have to wonder what more they can do to beat the Pats. Not having Tom Brady and spending $160 million to repair their own team was not enough to overtake the Pats. The Jets are going to have an interesting off-season.

5 - Imagine the NFL's jealousy when we trade Cassel for something good when we already have 1,2,2,3,3 (including Samuel comp pick).

6 - Jets are screwed. When Favre retires they have Kellen Clemens and a new QB search.

I doubt we have that much, but we're still looking decent going into the draft. Lets root for Denver next week!

Sure we have that much.

We have our own 1,2,3. We have SD's 2. We'll get a comp pick 3 for Samuel. That's 1,2,2,3,3. And that's without getting anything for Cassel.

When you put it this way, pretty incredible... just imagine if we get a 2 in 10 & 11, for Cassell.. that is a lot of building blocks..

A healthy Brady and all those picks - Yikes, this team is looking to be scary good over the next 3-4 years, and then a force for a long time.

Not to mention whatever off season transactions they work this year.

Thinking about San Deigo's #2. We gotta be huge Broncos fans this weekend. There is going to be a HUGE difference in where that second round pick will be from if they are 7-9 and out of the playoffs and 8-8 and the AFC East Champions. Depending on who wins next weekend, it could be as low as the 11th pick in the second round if the Chargers lose.

Thats right, I have to be a Bronco's fan as well as a Jets fan this week. Sunday is really going to suck

I'm still learning the "game" since I didn't grow up with football.. What will the Pats most likely do with their draft picks?

How badly do the Pats, JEST, and LOLphins all have to play for the Chargers to win the division?

Seriously, though, if the Chargers make the playoffs, they drop from the 7-9 tier to the bottom of the 8-8 tier, NOT to 21st overall. Unless they make the Super Bowl, they will pick before every team that finishes 9-7 or better.
