Actually, I'll take Super Bowls.

I bet Peyton's going to miss that coveted first half championship trophy, though.

Yes, it would feel good, but as someone else pointed out, then it wouldn't be the Patriots. It doesn't have to be pretty, it just has to end with a "W". If anyone knows that, it's us Pats fans! In any event, we get our next shot at a game like that two weeks from today in Buffalo. I'm going to the game and I'll take another "W" no matter how we get it!

Na, we dont need to trounce the East, we blew up the Bungles last week Baby. They were rated mush higher than than any east team.

I do think the Jets and Bills quit mentally when they got down, leading to the blowouts. But no AFC East team will ever quit like that against the Patriots... there is too much history and crossbreeding, they play us twice a year, they circle our games on their calendars.

We had that going for awhile against the Jets (24-0) before the D decided to take the rest of the game off.

Exactly. We get everyone's best effort each and every week. Not many teams can say that about their opponents. The Doophins played way above their heads today.

Games are always tougher within your own Division. Just ask Indy. One point over the TITANS? Yeah... that's just the way it is. It's always tougher battling the ones that know you.

hmmm we just did have a game like the Bears and the Jags. We destroyed the supposed new elite team on the AFC in the Bengals. Like everyone else says division games are always hard. And lastly, isnt it great how the pats win way more than they lose. I'll take close wins anyday.

No, it would not be great - every close game that forces the Patriots to find another way to win prepares them for the playoffs - I'll take the AFCE slug fests.
