Actually, the Titans at 10-6 seem like more of a stretch than NE at 13-3...

Thanks -- it's hot and humid here (Berlin) with a thunderstorm most days. Hope you have better weather.

In terms of newbie questions, post count matters not...

Over the last six seasons, the Pats have lost just 19 games, losing less than three games in three of those seasons for an average of just about three losses per year. So, while the poster was trying to be humorous, he also had a foundation in fact.

HINT: there's a "good sport" way to talk trash to your opponents and a "bad sport" way. Your comment falls into the latter category.

For example, saying that the Bills have an owner who fails adequately to market his own team and is looking for a back door out of Buffalo is legitimate trash talk. Saying that they have morphed into a pathetic franchise that is now looking to the biggest trouble maker in the league to rescue it is bad sportsmanship; but, I do kind of like it.

"Get over yourselves?" Give me a break.

Nope, predicting losses doesn't bother me... however, if they were to pinpoint which games they thought we were going to lose, I'd probably argue against them all individually

Superbowl 44: Pats over Giants

just looking at the afc records. how many times has it been that the best record has 13 wins and the next best has only 11. Aren't there usually better records who win the first round byes (in the afc)? And how does a 9-7 team get into the afc playoff picture? we didn't get in with 11 wins (while that was a bit flukey, it's still unlikely that a 9-win team gets in as a wildcard).

I dunno... in 01 weren't the Pats 11-5 and yet earned the #2 spot with a first round bye ?
