Week 5 Thursday Night Football - Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers

[Gronkowski123]

Absolutely. EVERY time I've turned on NFLN this week there has been a segment on the Pats. Every major national site I visit has featured the Patriots heavily. In a way, it's a good reminder to us locals of the franchise's standing in the league.

That said — anyone who still watches them should be forewarned that the pre-game shows this Sunday will be even more unwatchable than usual.

Week 5 in general looks to have some pretty good games here in New England.

Ravens-Colts at 1 on CBS, Jets-Chargers at 4. Though I must say Fox has it all wrong at 4, showing Falcons-Giants instead of Broncos-Arizona.

Edit: Wait. I got it wrong. No Fox game at 4 — Giants at 1. Oh well. Red Zone at 4 it is.

yea, i won't watch sunday morning pregames, **** that. can imagine the joy on the faces of cris carter/keyshawn/tom jackson seeing the pats struggle.

Ten bucks says the Vikings don't get the Patriot treatment this week.
I guess they really shouldn't either. It's just a good time to reflect on the fact that the reason we get so much crap from the media is because we've set the bar for so long.

With Manning having moved on to Denver, the Patriots are the only long-term dominant team in the NFL. The Vikings, meanwhile, battle to get out of the NFC North basement. One of those teams makes news when it struggles. One doesn't.

No need to read anymore into it than that.
