I was talkin to my buddy today and while it sounds really foolish I wouldn't be surprised by the dolphins beating new england. They got nothing to lose and that is the ONLY game that anyone will care about for them this season. With guys like Jason Taylor on the defense I think they may show up for that game. Plus I just think it'd be funny as hell to see the pats go down to a winless team.
That all said maybe I'm just hoping upon hope someone beats the damn arrogance out of New England
The Pats are going 19-0. They're gonna win the Super Bowl. You guys are just going to have to get used to the idea. It's probably best to start now so you'll be ready when the season ends. To those who think the Dolphins actually have a chance, you should buy a Powerball ticket. You're more apt to win that. I'll bet the Dolphins are conceeding the next two games so they can prepare for the Pats. What do the care if they're 0-14? I'll bet there has never been a time when a 14-0 team play an 0-14 team. What lost the game for Baltimore was Baltimore's stupidity-calling a time out so the Pats get to replay the down. That's not bad luck, that's just plain foolish.

I didn't say they were conceding the last two games, I said the dolphins clearly weren't showing up the last while and I wouldn't be surprised if they managed to show up for the Pats game. If they're so damn great how come AJ Feely and Kyle Boller threw for some much against them? Last time I checked Baltimore had zero offense, the Pats are not invincible.

I know you didn't say the Dolphins were conceding the next two games. They might as well though. The only thing that will mean anything for them this season is beating the Pats.

Which is exactly what I was saying, for them and the Jets the games against the Pats are their superbowls. The Giants on the last game may be still in the playoff hunt or battling for positioning whereas the Pats won't have anything but the perfect season (maybe) to play for. I wonder if billichick would play his starters for the perfect season and rick an injury to Brady or Moss that could cost them a championship
I know this may be a shock to some but I see Dallas and Pittsburg in the Superbowl...Pittsburg may not win the first one but they will be the pats in the playoffs...

He'll play them. You very rarely see him rest his starters, the team has too much depth and talent to make injuries a primary concern. Look what happened to Indy two years ago-they had everything wrapped up with still 3 weeks to go. They rested the starters during those games, bypassed the week of the wildcards, and came back and played like shit after not having anything to play for for a month. Besides, Brady is only 8 TD passes from breaking Mannings' record. He can't throw them from the bench.

So you're saying that if they win the next 3 games and Brady already breaks the TD record that he'll play against the Giants on the last game and risk injury at the one position that the pats have none of the depth you mentioned?
He played when they were ahead by 30-35 points in the fourth quarter. He doesn't want to sit on the bench. These guys bust there asses all week for that three hour game on the weekend. Even though it's a job, they love to play. If they have a huge lead in the fourth quarter, he'll probably sit down at the end. But, you can bet all the other teams are studying how the Patriots are so good at winning. It's by having a role on the team for EVERYBOBY, not just the starters. When Maroney was asked what he thought about only carrying the ball once in the first half against Philly, all he had to say was, "We won". These guys believe in their couching staff. If you're a disgruntled whiner as a player, you're gone. The team knows what they want when they draft-players who are willing to do anything to win. Perfect example-Troy Brown. He's one of the most versatile players in NFL history. (He's always been my favorite player) You can say the Patriots are "lucky" or "arrogant" or whatever. But what they are is talented and well couched.
you didnt answer all the question mate , who is there to 100 % replace Brady if he goes down ? I dont think theres much depth in that very important position ...
Im not sure they will will go 19 - 0 without a little help , from the men in stripes , there at a point were they can let down and still coast and "if " that happens somebody will knock em off ..But we shall see ..
Pittsburgh is the latest team to get ground-up in the Patriots machine. Now it's time to coast to the play-offs. The furthest they'll have to travel until the Super Bowl is 200 miles to Giants Stadium. So they'll be well rested and ready to go. So much for a "guaranteed" win. Smith now looks like the idiot he is especially when Randy Moss smoked him on a 57 yard pass. Smith was about 40 yards behind him. Anyone think they'll hear any more "guarantees"?

It's time to watch the Patriots beat-up the Bengals. As I've told everyone who'll listen, I predicting an undefeated season for the Pats. Remember, you heard it here first. I'll make a note of this post so I can reference it in December when the Patriots are 16-0.

And wouldn't it be perfect when the Pats lose to the winless Dolphins in the 16th week of the season. (Probably won't happen but it is the NFL)

The only chance the Dolphins have is if they send up their cheerleaders instead of the team. It would make it a tougher game for the Pats. We're facing the Jets tommorrow. This is the team that cost the Pats $750,000 and a first round draft choice. The Patriots are going to steamroll over them for the full 60 minutes. They want to score at least 48 points to make it an even 100 for the season.
