They are due for a bad game. Steelers, jets, and Ravens all have great defenses.

completely different team and it will be with different results
<< <i>Hmm seems like they just killed all of them >>
You just proved my point lol. They are due for an off-day.
They were 1-1 against the jets this year and the Ravens beat them on their turf in last years palyoffs.

The Patriots will be solid Goliath-like favorites in every game they play, until the season ends, and quite deservedly so.
It is more conventional, or fun perhaps, to root for the underdog, and upsets certainly do happen.
Their point differential far exceeds any other playoff team, and they shall play all home games throughout the playoffs and then would have a neutral field, if they get into the Super Bowl.
The distractions of Moss are gone, the pro bowl tackle Mankins is back, newcomers, Woodhead, McCourty, Hernandez, and Gronkowski have all progressed very well.
Emotionally, one may dislike the squad, but rationally, one must see they are truly an outstanding team.

I don't know. There have been a lot of great quarterbacks in the history of football. But I think he's in the conversation.
There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who do not.
I LOVE our chances but there is a ton of football left to be played

Sorry, they got their bad game out of the way in Cleveland.
They are set for bear(s) or whoever else they have to play at Foxboro stadium throughout the playoffs.
GO PATRIOTS!!!!!
I hope they don't play their starters too long today!

Half time, starters still in there.
They have already lost Woodhead.
You forgot videotaping other teams practicing..

That guy works for Denver now (well, he did anyway)
New England Patriots (3 titles last decade)
vs.
Green Bay Packers (12 titles all-time, #1 by far)
The past few weeks, more fickle fans lament with statements similar to "I'm sick of seeing the Patriots there". I'm not. Many people dislike the best teams because they resent success. Over the long-term, experiencing greatness trumps experiencing parity for many true sports fans. I certainly don't want to see a different team win every year.
Rookie tight ends, a banged-up Welker, and Danny Woodhead, yet Brady has 36 TDs to 4 INTs. Remarkable offense, with the defense solidifying a lot this season.
So though I'm an Eagles fan with no connection to New England, for the next few weeks I must say, "Go Patriots".
The snow is deep and the B.S is even deeper on this game.
Im just grateful they just hold it up and not have to FLY 'em!
Mark Sanchez is a So Cal boy.
The temperature in Foxboro for Sunday's Jets / Patriots game has a forecast high of 31, low of 7.
Most know the Patriots' bye week means they're less likely to be banged up than the Jets, sure.
One can contend that a bye week is more of an asset to a coach that tirelessly studies - Belichick - than it is to some other coaches. Belichick will have more time to prepare than Rex Ryan does.
I don't think the Jets verbally firing shots across the bow (Ryan, Cromartie) matters at all.
It's the NFL so anything can happen. If I were betting (I'm not), I would choose the Pats to win, and probably cover too.

Yep, like a Michigan vs USC January Rose bowl game at the big house. If i were a gambling man, i would bet on Michigan
Are we ready for some football?

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

It appears to me that a lot of fans are knee-jerk, "What have you done for me lately?"-types. Of course, when a team wins they're usually not as good as one of these types think, when they lose they're not as bad as one thinks.
Consequently: yes, by the Patriots' lofty standards, it has been a while since they won a playoff game. Let's remember that as recently as the beginning of this season, experts did not project the Patriots to go far or compile a regular season record nearly as good as 14-2, nor Brady to throw a fantastic 36 TDs against just 4 INTs. Most didn't know if the New England defense was even good enough to qualify the team for the playoffs. Devin McCourtey played like a future star. Recall that expectations were raised in a hurry. Remember that the Patriots have a boatload of top draft picks upcoming.
Tom Brady still has an enviable and lofty playoff record of 14-5.
Distance...perspective...long view.

A 14-2 season "isn't very good"?
The NFL will soon name their MVP. I wonder who that's going to be? Brady...still MVP...long after "Spygate". The long view should look on that rather favorably too.
