You really didn't have to do anything.. lol, yeah , I guess that seems odd. Short answer is in 2006 Sean Payton modeled the rebuilding of the Saints after the Patriots, and BB's ideas and coaching style. So, we started to watch them from a far and gained respect for what they were doing. 2009 we played them at the Dome, and expected the usual laughter, to be berated, but to our surprise they were extremely knowledgeable about football, not even remotely arrogant or condescending , and wanted to hang to talk ball. Even the newspapers wrote about it, and lots of New Orleans fans just kind of fell in love with New England. So, we want to play them in a Super Bowl. Believe it or not, thats the short answer,lol.
Your argument about stats is mute, because you have to discount them , you don't have any stats that show your a very good team at all. Believe me I tried to find one.
San Diego reasons for not winning in the playoffs is because of a weak division, and Rivers or the coaching staff has a choke problem, nothing to do with stats at all.
Fox changed because of Tebow, you haven't played a different game plan sense, and believe me you won't. We dealt with him for many years,he's no offensive mastermind.
You will play the same way all year.
You can rush the passer on below average teams and OL's, like the bears, Min, charger, etc.. Not a OL as good as New England, and you haven't played against a QB yet
your saying that Ponder, 2nd string QB Bears, Rivers ( who has been imploding all season), and K-Mark are good QB's? Well they are not.
Denver reminds me a lot of the Lions. Building up wins against weak opponents. Only without the good QB, errr WR's, DL, etc.. otherwise your doing exactly what they did,
and your going to start losing like they did. Thats another stat.
Patriots offense is on par with New Orleans, and we would have a field day torching the Denver's 22nd ranked defense. Patriots average 31pts a game. How many points did you score against the chargers ? lol, because they scored 35pts, Jets 30, KC 34.
No disrespect but you have a low football IQ if you think your holding Patriots offense to 13pts, we can't even do that, and our defense is way better than denver.
I don't think putting Tebows name with Brady in the same sentence ever occurred to anyone, and personally I think it will never occur to anyone threw out tebows career.
Brady is one of the top 5 QB's in the NFL under pressure he has a 60% completion record. Do you actually read anything about football, or did you just get these crazy ideas from Tebows prayer group.
Broncos are not a bad team, no, but they sure are not a very good team, sorry.
SF is a good team, but they can't beat great or elite teams either, and teams are figuring them out late in the season so they are starting to lose.
It will be a fun game, but don't get your hopes up , and don't worry when you lose. Broncos are still building with a new coach (Fox is a good coach BTW), new QB and new ideas. Though I'm not positive Tebow will be there next year. Sorry, just how I see it and all the stats and evidence is on my side, you just have faith.
