It was the way he was saying it. I think most objective fans would agree TODAY the pats would lose. But the defending champs with 4 of the last 5 SB appearances deserve more respect than he was giving. He was also acting like we'd lose 57 to 0 with his tone and there was nothing that could stop them. Give me a break.
So, it Ok to pick the patriots based on SB appearances, and it is unreasonable to actually analyze the game and make a prediction?
I find just silly your suggestion that media folks should respect the patriots and predict that they will win, because of their great history.
It may be OK to expect every poster here to give patriots respect, and expect that they should win. After all, there is a penalty to be paid if a poster predicts that the patriots will lose.

It seems that FOR YOU it was just outrageous for anyone to suggest, before the game, that the patriots would likely have no answer for Jackson and the Ravens.
Well, should we shut down all analysis by posters and by writers, if they don't respect the patriots enough and suggest that they are likely to win? Really?
His stat does not prove what he says it does. Here is the entire quote, including the part left out.
the stats in the article said a scrambling QB and a pocket QB in pass plays get hurt about as often. It then said on designed runs the Qb gets hurt one out of every 200-some runs.
This does not prove “running QBs are no more likely to get injured” be injured. They are likely to be injured every 200-some runs which is more than the qb who doesn’t run and instead hands off.
For those stats to price the running qb is no more likely to get injured it would have to say no QBs ever get injured in designed runs.
The point is that running puts the qb at risk of injury. Not just the ones that were included in that article but also smaller injuries that you play through or that mount and add wear and tear.
To say having the qb carry the ball on running plays adds zero risk of injury is blatantly wrong.
Merlonis an idiot, if they play them again the results will be different.Lou Merloni was ****ting his pants today talking about the Ravens. As if we've never seen this before. Sure right now they look unstoppable and they would beat us today 7 out of 10 times. Talk to me in about 6 or 7 weeks and also let's see who has the 1 seed before we crown them champions. What a goddamned little b**** he sounded like.

He said wed lose by 27, to be fair to Merloni.It was the way he was saying it. I think most objective fans would agree TODAY the pats would lose. But the defending champs with 4 of the last 5 SB appearances deserve more respect than he was giving. He was also acting like we'd lose 57 to 0 with his tone and there was nothing that could stop them. Give me a break.
just further proof they kicked our behinds and that game really wasn't close and the defense will need to be much betterAnd that has what to do with how many points the defense gave up?
have KC beat them before we play them
Someone’s been watching inspirational training videos over at the Jiffy Lube, again.Personally I want the rematch. To be the best you have to beat the best type of thing.
