what? me nervous?
Why do you feel nervous about this game? Because if the Pats lose we will never EVER EVER hear the end of it as long as we live. You think the Peyton ballwashing is bad now? Wait until he gets a ring. Brady who?
not with the pats. as a 37-year long-suffering fan, these years (and this year) have been everything i ever wanted.
we lose the AFC championship game, i'll say we ahd a good season.
screw the dolts. who cares what they do?
if the dolts can beat our boys in a championship game they deserve to strut around.
but they gotta beat the patriots.
san diego didn't lose that game, they failed to win it. sunday, it's the dolts who have to break thru the ceiling. not us.
under most scenarios, we win. so it's the dolts who have to play their best game, and take down the champs. the pressure's on them, not us.
it's not about peyton. it's their other starters. can THEY stand up to the pressues? can their rookie RB control his nerves?
can they stop dillon/faulk/maroney? what of graham/watson/thomas? can they protect against vrabel/bruschi/colvin? can peyton throw to asante's side without getting picked off? does he even think he can? those are the questions.
THEY are the ones who have to come thru.
the patriots are gonna be themselvess. the DOLTS have to beat US, not the other way around.
so naw, i ain't nervous. this is a rivalry, they've won games when the cookies weren't on the l;ine. THEY gotta beat us.
and patriots beat better teams all the time.
