You dont blitz and leave in a dime package the pats O line is too good they will buy brady that couple extra seconds and thats a killer with this recieving core.

You want to beat the pats you have to take your chances and blitz them.

Indeed. And not to mention prevent defense which has a habit of losing games for many teams that are in a bind

. Annnyhoo, lets hope the noose tightens in their next game eh

Well no lets not hope that. My first patriots game was in the mid 70's. I've been a pats fan for a long, long time. For me Its all about winning superbowls.

Eeks. 37-7 at halftime. Ravens only TD coming on a kick return. Ouch. Although to be fair, its not surprising the Ravens are drained after that Monday game against the Patsies.

42 - 24 Sehawks win again

I'm sensing Super Bowl again.

You know, I kinda rooted for the Colts when they made their run at undefeated. I wish I could root for the Pats to do it, but the cheating thing makes it impossible, plus I don't want Moss to collect a ring.

Raiders line play got exposed today on both sides of the ball, but then we knew Green Bay's O line was good. It's disheartening that Russel didn't get a chance to play, but that was more or less guaranteed by putting him on 3rd string for the start. The defense looked cold too, stiff, slow, unable to keep up. I'm hoping that was the weather rather than age catching up.

Don't we all

....And my Vikings continue to roll! Granted the 49ers aren't the greatest team around, but we still managed to win in San Francisco (for the first time in 19 years, no less) despite AP being held to a paltry 3 yards on the ground. If Tavares keeps on as he has the last 3-4 games, he might actually start being called a good quarterback!

We've won 4 in a row now, and only have to win 2 of the final 3 games to secure the last wild-card spot in the playoffs. Not bad for a team that only a month ago, everyone (including myself) had given up for dead.

(Say, no one knows if Hell as frozen over, has it?
