food for thought: don't annoint the Patriots yet, we have plenty of football to play!
Oct 29, 2007 | 8:07PM | report this
Before we go ahead and ordain the patriots the SuperBowl winners lets consider firstly that this is football and anything can happen for example the Bears could be falling apart and the saints loosing there first 4 games. And second, the Patriots are not perfect (WHAT!?) , that’s right and guess what no team is. Let take a look a some facts to possible ice the swelling heads of some patriots fans who think they are on the mountain top.

1.) Sure the offense is chalk full of talent and depth… at wide receiver.
Besides Sammy Morris (who is hurt and out for a month or more) the patriots have little to no running game. Of course throwing is there game but, here is an universal truth if you cant control the clock with a competent running game than your going to have a tough time in the playoffs. Also you would think that the running game would benefit from a outrageous passing game.

2.) Let examine the defense that Brady Butchered
2 ranks overall and then vs. pass defense (sorry couldnt adjust spacing)
(overall) (vs. Pass)
jets
(29th) (26 *)
chargers
(18th) (27 *)
bills
(30th) (29)
Bengal’s
(31th) (28 **)
browns
(32nd) (31**)
cowboys
(6th) (12 *)
dolphins
(25th) (7 **)
redskins
(12th) (17)

*= have allowed 10 + Passing TD
**= have allowed 15 + passing TD

All those numbers are rankings in the out of the entire NFL. Heck, I think I could throw a TD on a couple of those teams. Likewise look at those teams on that list, it’s fair to say half of them are poor at best… what does that mean? Easy picking for a good defense… again what does that mean a short field with a bad defense.
All above = inflation of scores and statistic

3.) 8 teams in 9 weeks

Colts : Payton Manning doesn’t make mistakes, solid dual back running game, a defense that is solid but not star studded.

Bills: they will win this one, but they loose there steam coming off the bye

Eagles : when D.Nabb’s game is on he is one of the best, Westbrook is great when healthy, the Pat’s will face a D’ not afraid to run a 0 blitz whenever it wants.

Ravens: Pats will win by virtue that the ravens have no offense but they will be ####ed around.

Steelers: revenge is a dish best served cold, if they are undefeated to this point (which I doubt) look for the Steelers to come out looking to prove something. I havent forgot the AFC Champ game from a few years back and Im not a steelers fan but Im sure they want blood.

Jets: they should win …

Dolphins : trap,trap,trap

Gaints: solid O’, and speed rush defense, and its in there house.
