Wow, I misspelled dudes name, big deal, does it change the fact that we are going to CRUSH your old man squad on Saturday night. I hate to see a fellow buff and hs pal lose, I always root for my boy Dan Graham, but that night, he is gonna be put on his rear if he tries to make catches vs our secondary.
All 3 facets of the game, we are better.
Broncos by 10.
And yes, I'll get back in here to gloat for weeks on end afterwards...

So, BUB. Looks like you were talking out your rear end because its clear that the Patriots are better on special teams (pats take 3 of 4 categories).
Also, its basically a split on the offense. 1 PPG is diddly. And, really, special teams could be looked at as being pretty even since everything is so close.
The only difference is the defense and the Patriots defense suffered far more early on because of the injuries and the tough schedule they faced.
I wouldn't go counting the Patriots out. You can if you want to, but that would make you a moron.
