It's easy, and only takes a few moments.When I try to be objective, I realize that there is almost no way that the Pats will (barring something '03/'04 era miraculous) beat the likes of Cincy, San Diego, Indy, not to mention Minny or Nawlins. If they can't pressure any QB, the elite QBs will surely torch them.
Sorry guys, I pretty much derailed the thread. Just venting after reading the HOU/INDY threat in the visitor section. Carry on.....
It is ok... because Peyton and company will choke and not get it done in the playoffs AS USUAL

This defense which normally starts to gel as the season progresses is doing a reversal this year,The defense is getting progressively worse as the weeks go on and it is quite concerning.
The defense played well up to the Colts and Saints games ... the 2 best teams in the NFL right now. So are they getting worse or are they showing their weaknesses. Seeing how we're on the back nine of the season I would say their weaknesses are obvious to the opponents when they gameplan for us. I still think we get better ... except for maybe the pass rush.
We don't even know if the team doesn't have good pass rushers because Pees ONLY blitzes Banta Cain.
It's like saying we don't have any good tight ends because O'Brien never calls Watson or Baker's number in the passing game.
That simply is not true; they send lots of guys at times, but with little success. Heck, they sent Wilhite when Meriweather was asleep on the broken coverage TD in NO. .
Wow. You've contributed a well thought out post - congrats. Question for you - IF the Colts win the Super Bowl this year, will "Peyton and company" still have this label from certain NE fans. I do say certain fans.
I love the Pats as much as anybody, and the playoff thing is still partially true after they won a ring, but concerning Peyton choke jobs...
That was true what, 5 years ago?
Since then the Colts have beaten us 5 of the last 6 meetings, and Peyton Manning has not only not choked, but pulled a half dozen wins out of his a*s that no other QB could do.
I would think a little bit more of them...... it is unlikely they will win...
at the worst 3 would still be better than 2....... but I do not see a 2 coming for Peyton.
I see your point w/ Patriot chokes of late.....
- but it is only the PLAYOFF'S that count. and good old Peyton is below .500 in them
Trading away Vrabel and Seymour were poor ideas especially when Bruschi and Harrison were retired. The D is yound and they need to bring in a DB that stop a premiere WR.
