Manning got old real fast. I think that will happen to Brady too (since it happens to all qb's). Maybe one more elite year out of him (which should be a rebuilding year for us), and then the decline will start. Doubt Brady has more than 2/3 years before retirement actually...
Pats never called out for their being such assholes by running up scores. Why don't they pay for it with an injury? Why does the national NFL media continually ignore this? Pagans is such o good guy. He doesn't deserve to be embarrassed any more than he already is.
New England isnt going to blow out Seattle. Seattle played bad against a Green Bay team that is on about the same level as New England. I think Seattle can shut this New England offense down, cover the receivers, put the big safetys over Gronkowski, handle the run. New England can do the same to Seattle but they will have to stop Lynch. Seattle wins.
If one thing good came out of this game its the fact that the AFC is weak as hell. Compared to the NFC which is pretty stacked its the Pats and then a pretty far drop off. No reason why with some smart moves this offseason the Jets can get right back to where they were in 09-10.
Didn't Gronkowski hurt himself on a PAT in a game where they were running up the score? It lead to BB's efforts to do away with the PAT.
What a great win by Seahawks...Even at their worst they found a way. Championship football. Gaytriots smacked the colts around...I don't think the Packers could hold the patriots. We are going to get a great super bowl game in terms of storyline and if russell plays as his usual self its going to be a big game. Sherman and thomas hurt will suck...lets see if they can still get out there
Agreed, this is the reason why the Patriots have made four consecutive AFC Championship games, while teams such as the Packers struggle to win a playoff game. I think the Colts, if they surround Luck with more talent will have a stranglehold on the AFC once Brady regresses.
Yep, repeat vs 4 championships Seattle will win. Seattle has seen teams like New England. New England has not seen a team like Seattle yet.
Makes me sick. The Pats dynasty goes on and fucking on. Lived through the Fish dominating the AFC East in the 80's, the Bills in the 90's and now the Pats for 15 fucking years. Are the Jets ever gonna have a run like these?
Yeah well when you start the season off 6-0 because of the division, then get a bye week AND a home playoff because of all the free wins, pretty easy to make a championship game.......hopefully that changes in the future, and someone actually challenges the Patriots within the division.
Word is they are about to give Luck a 25 mil/year contract..so it'll be interesting to see what kind of team they can build around him. That division gives them a pretty clear path to the playoffs every year though.
