Now that's true. Hey, BTW, who's the new guy we have at QB. You know, the guy wearing #12?

Clayton said that? Cripes, we're screwed. Hey, anyone want my tix to the Colts game? Maybe the Bruins are playing that day instead.

You know the expression, "people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones."
Just make sure that your QB has his health insurance premiums paid before you become an expert on other teams' perceived shortcomings........

Hadn't you heard? We lost Deion Branch, the only good player left on our team. Tom Brady and Richard Seymour, our only other decent players left, are so demoralized by the loss of Branch that they can't even function.
See you in the playoffs!

Great commets here guys. I know I'm convinced now that the Patriots will be fine.

Who cares that they lost Givens and Branch? Who cares that they lost McGinnist and the kicker? Who cares? They still got Brady.... and he can do it all by himself.

Everything's cool.

yup everything is cool because the men who drafted branch and givens [people nobody heard about before and were not drafted high] are still in charge .its funny but i remember winning a sb with david patten and jermain wiggins .where was branch then .the patriots will always be a force as long as piolli bb and brady are still around .

Thanks for the information guys. I don't know what I was thinking. Most teams will pay a price for losing great players. But I should have known that the conventional wisdom that applies to every other team doesn't apply to the pats.

I mean, they are the pats. That's what makes them different. That's what makes them special.

Thanks guys.

I'm just being honest, so please don't get upset at me.

Maybe the refs will award them unearned touchdowns like they did for the Steelers in their last two games.

John Clayton thinks the Colts will win the Super Bowl every year, he's another talking head.

It isn't about how many "star" players you have, but how the team plays together. Hell, a few years ago they gave Bledsoe and Milloy to a DIVISION RIVAL and still won 2 more Super Bowls.

The Patriots have a good, potentially great front 7; an excellent run game; a very good offensive line and the best QB in football. The secondary and receiving games are questionable, but it's too early to tell.

All you have to do to strike fear into hearts is win.
