But those ones aren't important
Putting 31 up on offense and getting 3 picks on defense - you are going to win most games with those two numbers there, so I am feeling pretty good today. Manning is a beast when he is playing from behind, but yesterday felt different - I honestly thought we'd make a play on defense, and we did. This is not the 2009 Patriots.
And what does that get us?...Sorry for the interruption but....
1. The New England Patriots won yesterday.
2. The New England Patriots are tied for first place in the league with the best record.
We return you to the regularly scheduled doom and gloom about how ineffective our offense and defense is.
And what does that get us?...
5th seed in the AFC
And lets add in a 3rd completely unnoticed statistical fact.
3. The NEP control their own destiny for the AFC #1 seed.
:yeahthat:
Heading into week 12 of the season, that's good, good stuff.
What if we beat the Jets in our next matchup and end up with the same record at the end of the season? We will have the same record and both be 1-1 on head to head match ups. It will depend on total division wins but what if that is also a tie?
Yeah...cause a 5th seed has never won the superbowl.

If you think that a wildcard (5th or 6th seed) has never won a Super Bowl, you are incorrect.
That is all true and great, I'm just saying it would be nice to have a better seed then 5th. If we end the season tied with the best record and a 5th seed, it will suck.Yeah...cause a 5th seed has never won the superbowl.

I will now admit that 4th and 2 last year was dead wrong thing to do. We shoulda punted it away and made Manning go the length of the field to win, because he has a tendency to choke when he has to do that.
but, we control our destiny>>>>>>win and we will be #1 SEED.And what does that get us?...
5th seed in the AFC
