I had been respectful of what the Cowboys have accomplished, and looking forward to a good football game.

Now, they look more and more like immature punks who don't know how to handle (a very little) success. The coach celebrating after the Buffalo win, the comments from the players about "cheating", etc.

Now I want to win by 50 points. Grind them into the ground. Score a touchdown at the end of the game, with the ball at the 1, and up by 50.

5 Rings for Brady!!

Well, it never fails to amaze me how the whole pattern repeats itself.

No matter how many great teams we beat, no matter how many games we win, it is the same every week.

The opposing team is running their mouth, and the fans come on here and act like ignorant trolls begging us to be intimidated by their team of immature punks, we win and then the same thing happens next week.

OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

Or maybe some of you are being overly sensitive? Not trying to be a smart ass but, c'mon guys. Listen to what your saying. I don't think Spears called us out that bad. He basicaly said if a team gets an advantage they should have an asterisk. He never said that the Patriots gained an advantage. Sure, take that for how you want it. But if that IS him calling us out, you gotta admit he has done it in a very politicaly correct way.

Exactly, the only team thus far to have avoided that was the Browns, until after the game, at least they were smart enough to wait !!!

What has changed? I feel this way every week.

I really don't know how to feel about this game. One minute I think we are going to kill Dallas - if Buffalo could confuse Romo and make him throw picks all day, what will we be able to do? Bellichick is the master of confusing QBs who have never played against the Pats before.

But then I think of two things that give me pause - 1) even though Romo played horribly for most of the game, he never gave up on himself. He kept coming back and trying again and was eventually able to lead his team to victory. When Brady has his rare horrible game he is not usually able to do this; 2) Buffalo's offense (which I know stinks, but still) was only able to muster 3 points against Dallas, despite the short field and demoralizing (for Dallas) circumstances they were handed. Dallas' D must be pretty good. I am concerned that Matt Light is sick and Koppen is already banged up. We need good protection for Brady or we could be in for a long day.

But now I have swung back to the other side; Buffalo does not have all the offensive weapons we have and Brady is good at getting the ball out quickly. Dallas's secondary is apparently suspect.

AARRGG! Just don't know what to think. I am excited for a good game though.

Actually you are doing alright in my book.

Football is a very tough sport and anything can happen. There is simply no certainty involved, no matter how good your team is. Accidents happen.

That is why I gave up trying to predict every possible outcome a long time ago.

I do know that teams should know better than to question the Pats organization. We have been the better team since 2001 overall, with a few down moments here or there.

It is pretty rare indeed that ANY game goes the way you expect it to in detail, even if the overall result is the same every week in a WIN.

This is silly. His comments were far stronger than that. Calling the Patriots out on the spygate thing will do an opposing team no good, no matter how diplomatically it may have been expressed - and I don't think it was expressed as diplomatically as you seem to.

The Patriots are going to kill Dallas. The Pats passing attack is dominant and the Cowboys pass D is not good. It ain't rocket science. Pats win big.

I almost hope there's a competitive game. I want to see the Patriots have to claw at the end.

Nah, forget it. I hope they win by 40 and yell, "F*** you, Goddell!" on the way off the field.
