There is a big difference between losing guys prior to the season and losing guys during the season.
When the Pats lost guys before the season, it allowed a new set of guys to come in and practice and consistantly play, get used to their duties, the systme, etc.
Colts have been getting...
C'mon really? These guys success can be attributed to playing for Peyton Manning. You think Austin Collie or Pierre Garcon are going to be nearly as effective on any other team except maybe the Pats? And to include Brown and Tamme in there is just absolutely silly.
I get you're upset that...
When something seems to good to be true, it almost certainly is. I've bought a lot of knock off jerseys and many of them are all but indistinguishable from the real thing unless you literally put one side by side with a true authentic. They come with the Reebok tags, holograms and everything...
Peyton Manning is not a system QB. He is a system unto himself. Peyton does not get plopped into someone elses system. Other players get plopped into Peyton's system.
If you moved him to another team, and he was allowed to run it the way he does the Colts, it would be no different.
The...
Ah, post 15! And now I can PM. So with that let me say:
I'm sure some of you have found me to be insufferable but please note that I'm not saying "this is ****, that's ****, the Pats are ****" etc, but instead arguing a very valid point. You may not agree with it, but you also simply can not...
Also, I should clarify that when we say "tougher schedule", I mean THUS FAR. Looking down the stretch, I don't know if their schedule is tougher than NEs. But as this past week, it absolutely has been.
They've played teams with better records playing better football. Not teams like the bumbling stumbling Vikings and their past-expiry QB, the bumbling stumbling Chargers and their comedy of errors, the joke "back to normal" Bungles and the joke "I honestly hope they can turn things around" Bills.
Absolutely true. And no one is going to pretend the Pats should have to give up those Ws or something just because they played a bunch of crap teams. They're Ws all the same.
BUT
When it comes time to talk about who the top teams in the league are, you DO have to take it into effect.
If 2...
Very good guess but wrong. I should say out of fairness that the SammyB in my screen name is not THAT Sammy B.
Also, for anyone talking about the SOS calculation from before the season compared to the SOS as calculated 8 weeks INTO the season. If ANYONE can make a good argument as to why it...
Use your noggin and figure it out for yourself.
Why would I tell you my team? If I did that, then all you'd do is attack my team rather than attack my arguments.
Alright I'll give you one hint: They're 4-3 or better but NOT 6-1 (as I'm sure you realize lol) and their schedule has been...
When you're talking about 2-5 teams (or Lord have mercy on them, 0-7 teams) then YES, they're bad teams.
SD, Minnesota, Buffalo, Cincinnat are all BAD teams. I don't care how many talented individual players they have or what the SOS was based on their W-L from LAST year.
I'm talking about...
I didn't realize that the league awarded Ws and Ls based on depth charts! Who cares how much "talent" there is if that talent isnt producing?
You're trying to tell me the Vikings are a good team???
And when SD kept making mistakes that peewee kids wouldn't be stupid enough to make, none of...
FINALLY someone is taking notice!
Yes, New England's schedule has been a cakewalk thus far.
And folks, SOS based on the LAST season matters until the day THIS season starts. The Pats are not playing teams from last season or their strengths from last season. The Pats are playing teams...
Re: Texans vs Colts Game Thread.
Are you kidding me? And spoil all the fun of seeing people guess? A round of hot wings for anyone who can figure it out definitively.
Re: Texans vs Colts Game Thread.
Because Addai is out, Brown is out and now Hart is banged up. So Edgerin James COUSIN is in off the PS.
So what would YOU do? Take a couple shots that might actually convert knowing that your D is playing well, or basically concede to punting the ball by...
Re: Texans vs Colts Game Thread.
Ever heard of reaching to make a play on the ball?
I notice you didn't feel the need to post about the obvious non-call on the facemask when the Colts were in the endzone?
Are you even capable of watching the game objectively or do your homer glasses...
So do you disagree with my assessment or not?
Will you try to deny that four of the Pats 6 wins have been against teams that are really struggling? Or that the Pats have really only beat 1 playoff quality team?
Surely you can't be such a blind homer as to not recognize that fact?
Re: Steelers LOSE! Patriots stand alone atop the NFL rankings!
Once again,
Of those 6 wins: 2-5 Bengals, 2-5 Vikings, 0-7 Bills and 3-5 chargers!
The combined record of teams the Pats have beaten are 16 - 27!!!
The only good team the Pats have beat is the Ravens. The Dolphins are...
Yep definitely the best team in the NFL!
6 wins against powerhouses!
You've got the 2-5 Bengals, the 2-5 Vikings, the 0-7 Bills and the 3-5 chargers!
In fact the combined record of the great teams the Pats have racked these 6 wins against is 16 - 27!!!
Let's face it folks, the Pats have beat...
