If Patriots get in, they?ll be tough to take out - Brockton, MA - The Enterprise
Some random points from the article:
1) The Patriots are No. 3 in the NFL in scoring, averaging 26.5 points per game, despite getting only one non-offensive touchdown (Ellis Hobbs’ 95-yard kickoff return in Oakland). (e.g. where's a Samuel replacement to run back a few touch downs )
2) The Pats have hit the 40-point mark in back-to-back games — they’re the only team to do that this season.
3) They are seventh in the league in rushing, averaging 140.7 yards per game. Sammy Morris (642) has rushed for more yards than Ricky Williams (609) or Joseph Addai (540) and has a higher per-carry average (4.9) than Adrian Peterson (4.8), Thomas Jones (4.6) or Clinton Portis (4.5). Kevin Faulk (507) has more rushing yards than Darren McFadden (497).
4) Welker leads the league with 109 catches, Moss is tied for the lead with 11 TD receptions and Cassel has 21 TD passes — the same number as Brett Favre, Eli Manning and Donovan McNabb and just five behind Peyton Manning.
5) The Pats have 41 offensive TDs right now, and they could easily match their outputs from 2004 (44), 2005 (44) or 2006 (45) (pre-Welker and Moss, of course.)
I sure hope we run up the score against the Bills! Not only are we playing for a playoff spot, but it's not too far fetched that if Cassel somehow gets 5-6 TD's against the Bills and Peyton doesn't play much in the second half of the Colts game, that we end the regular season with Welker #1 in receptions, Moss #1 in TD's again, and our QB #1 in TD's again! (If not, #2 in TD's is also very likely.)
