PATSNUTme

Last night I made the mistake of watching a sunday sports show with Felge, Borges and Gaspar.

I have never seen Gaspar on TV and have read some of his articles. He's young and fed right into the Felger-Borges Patriots hate. He said that he wondered if the patriots fans are willing to accept this team as a 3rd place team. Then they started to compare the Patriots to the Red Sox in that the ratings and attendance for the Red Sox have dropped.

Well comparing the Patriots to the Red Sox is like waving a red towel in front of this bull. Secondly these brainiacs forget that the jest were a 7-7 team on their way to 7-8 and out of the playoffs until the Colts took a dive

Yes the Jest and Fins have improved a bit over last year but after this draft, I think the Patriots have also. It will be a tougher division no doubt but declaring the Patriots a 3rd place team is a bit much, don't you think?

I think it's ridiculous. We were better than both last year and - I'll say it - I think we've widened the gap with what we did over the weekend. I think we'll have the division in hand with a couple of weeks to go.

Newspapers and television are fighting to be 3rd place after the internet and texting.

Personally tired of the resident contrarians, so I try to avoid them.. these guys make a living off of being oppositional..

If Crable, Cunngham, and possibly Fletcher can step up and provide the pass rush alongside TBC, I think we've got a pretty damn goos football team here. Throw in the fact that we have a very nice repetoir of receiving weapons in Gronk, Hernandez, Moss, Holt, Price, Edelman, Tate(?), Faulk, Crumpler, and Welker when he comes back, I like our chances. But we'll see.

Felger hates the Pats. One day on his radio show she let slip "If I were a Patriots fan....." He's a HUGE Green Bay fan.

PATSYLICIOUS

The Jets have had a very nice offseason IMO. We'll see whether that catapaults them over us but I think we will finish above them.

Dolphins, tough for me to see them finishing ahead of us.

He's pissed ME off so much that I think I'll steal Sara Underwood away from the dweeb.

Wait...wait, wait, my wife would be wicked pissed.

3rd place team? I can see that happening, I mean I don't go into the season expecting to win a bye.

I'm assuming they had to mean 3rd in the AFC, because no sane and objective person would think there's even a small likelihood that we'd finish 3rd in the division.

If the Pats are 3rd in the division, well then 2 wild cards are coming out of the AFCE.
