I'd like to extend my thanks to the 49ers, Panthers, and Chargers for helping to elevate the Patriots to the top of the AFC. I'm still nervous about Miami, but with home games against them and Buffalo, I can see the Pats at 13-3 in a couple of weeks time.

Ohio State is hit with a one year bowl ban. I wish they would go ahead and give UNC their penalties already so they can end this embarrassing period. He spoke on the game last night on the previous page (post 3795). |

One more win and it's pretty much a done deal. I don't see the Rams beating us in the finale. Hopefully the Falcons beat the Saints Monday Night. If they had taken care of business earlier in the year and didn't make that stupid decision that cost them the game we might have a little bit more breathing room.

Check this out. Alex Smith's statistics at 11-3:
QB record: 11-3. Passing yards: 2752 Completion Percentage: 61.4 Yards Per Game: 196.6 Touchdowns/Interceptions: 16/5 Yards per attempt: 7.1 Sacked: 39 times Another quarterback at 11-3 at one point in time during their first year starting who is now one of the best in the league: QB record: 11-3. Passing yards: 2843 Completion Percentage: 63.9 Yards Per Game: 189.5 Touchdowns/Interceptions: 18/12 Yards per attempt: 6.9 Sacked: 41 times Guess who the other quarterback is. No this doesn't mean they are on the same level obviously. One is having modest success in their first year in a new system and in the other sceneario at one point in time, the other quarterback is in his first year starting in a system that he'll come to being very comfortable with. Just thought it was interesting.

And no, please don't compare Allhax Smith to Breesus (if that's him), for your own sake... Quote:
The team is basically 2 TE's, 1 WR, a rightarm and a brain (because the rest of Tom Brady's body is worthless)..The defense is so bad, so utterly horrid, to think Bill Belechick gets a pass on the last 8 years of defensive draft picks boggle's the SPINE...But they still win cuz they just don't make the crucial mistake, and that mofo does more with a bag of bruised fruit than a 5-star chef ever could...

No it's working fine WingDarkness. I do check out your comments sometimes to get a laugh, but you're still "ignored" for the most part.
And no one is comparing Smith to Brees. Again, making an argument out of nothing.

Now, don't get me wrong the defense is terribad this season and a few games back I was very skeptical of how this season would go. But looking around the league, and the matchups that the Pats will encounter in the playoffs... I'm starting to gain some confidence. As bad as the d is... most other great teams in the NFL this season have terrible defenses. Not only that, but the only teams that give the Patriots real matchup problems are in the NFC (Green Bay and the Saints; elite QB's)... I'm not sold on Big Ben especially after Monday, and even less so about Philip Rivers if he even makes it to the playoffs. |

The way to beat the Patriots had been made simple since that day. And the Jets made a show of that last year in the divisional round. Could anyone this year pull off that same feat of keeping Brady on the ground and/or off the field? The Ravens can - if at home. And the Niners. Oh look, both Harbaugh teams. I'm willing to say the Steelers as well, barring Big Ben's foot.

So who is considered the best Quarterback playing this season? It's probably a toss up between Aron Rodgers and Drew Brees. If Rodgers win a few more superbowl, I think he will be easilly mentioned as one of the best ever played. I've seen only couple of his game this season. The one against the Saints were amazing which show cased how good this guy is. Brees is the same. His amazingness is the way he shatters the stereotype of NFL Quarterback needs to be at a certain height to have any chance at bringing out the innate talent. Brady is fantastic too considering he pretty much needs to play close to perfection for his team to win due to their poor defense is, and that's exactly what he has done thus far.

I mean with the whole lockout mess it seemed to really effect the defenses, especially early in the season. You had tons of QBs pulling of 400+ passing games early in the season, even if they were not high calibur; example Henne on the Dolphins. In general offenses seemed ahead of defenses this year. So yeah if Brees does break the record he deserves it of course, but I will always have in the back of mind a "what if" of whether the lackluster D early in the year gave him enough of an advantage that maybe things would have turned out differently otherwise.
