According to John Clayton......

The doofins armed with Daunte Culpepper and Nick Saban are going to knock the Patriots out as AFC East Champs this year....Anyone see this D bag on Espn..?......MORE lockerroom material for our boys......GO PATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really enjoy Clayton, King et al and I'm not going to stop liking them just because they don't pick "my" team to win each year.

What fun would it be to listen to someone who just echos your own opinion all the time? ONLY believing the the Pats are untouchable is completely unrealistic.

I only discovered this bbs this summer and I have been pleasantly surprised by how objective and knowledgeable most guys here are. I say keep it that way. I wouldn't bother with a group of fanboy-Kool-Aid drinkers, no fun in that.

Yeah, this is why everyone thinks you're an idiot and no one takes you seriously. The worst "analysis" I've ever seen attempted, ever.

You don't speak for all of us.

I think Aqua is stating the case rationally albeit colored with the Fin Fan point of view just as most of us state it from the Pats Fan point of view. While he certainly didn't get himself off to a good start on this board, he has been a good citizen of late and speaks to us with respect. Although I don't agree with all his assessments I think he deserves the same.

And bottom line, he and I agree on this: lets just wait until they play the games and see how it plays out. I don't feel it is necessary to blow a fuse everytime some writer picks against the Pats (although I agree it is comical how they continue to cite the Dolphins 6 game win streak as evidence of how good they have become while never bothering to look below the surface at the level of competition they beat, including our backups).
