yea thats what i was talking about again danielson with the undoubtable stats thanks bro

it's good both games are outdoors

[tu_holmes]

My point was there have been three regular season team that went undefeated in NFL history. Two of those team during a period where the NFL was totally different then it is today. Those season where also not 16 games. Your right what the pats have done this year is nothing special at all.As it stands the pats are the only undefeated 16 game winner in NFL history. when the dolphins did it over 14 games they played one team with a winning record I believe.

If the pats win today they will be the only team in NFL history to win 18 straight games in a season. They are the greatest offensive team in NFL history which imo is a great achievment.

If the pats dont win the superbowl it will be a huge letdown , but they will be far from nothing special because of that.

I'm not disagreeing with your points...

Except, if they do not win the superbowl... They will go down in the record books just like the Bears did... In 20 years, no one will care.

If they win the superbowl, then they will be ELITE and without a doubt the greatest single season team in the history of football.

I don't want to hear about the "modern" era of football blah blah... The modern era technically makes it easier... More penalties... No hitting the QB... You can't do things that you could do in the league even 10 years ago.

The modern era makes it EASIER as far as play style is concerned... Where it makes it harder is salary caps and free agency... It's much harder to "stack the deck" so to speak, even though I will admit, Bill  B, did a great job of doing that this year.

Congratulations to the Pats for the AFC championship... Good luck in a couple of weeks.

i was off about the score but was on for the 100+ yards for maroney....

The Chargers wont be able to handle to cold New England weather.Brady and co are going to walk all over the Chargers by 26.

NE was lucky that the Chargers didn't change QBs. If they had and had been able to score any TDs they could have won.

[OzmO]

NE was lucky that the Chargers didn't change QBs. If they had and had been able to score any TDs they could have won.

That's a stretch and a major assumption all becuase the back up had a good drive versus the colts.

[ngm21084]

the chargers are lucky they scored anything at all....and the defense is going to stop the giants and the offense is going to nickel dime across the middle because the giants secondary suck and they will be playing a cover 3 trying to prevent the long ball from happening..also remember that the weather in arizona is going to be perfect passing weather

Volek is a carrer backup who has played 4 games over his career. The chargers could not score in the red zone because the pats d would not let them. Rivers is far better then Volek , and thats why rivers starts and Volek sits. Just because Volek had one good series vs the colts you think he is a good pro? The guy has played four games in 12 years.

The chargers are lucky brady had a bad game. If Stallworth had not tipped a ball into a chargers db's hands the pats would have scored. If it was not 10 degrees out the score would have been higher. If Many pats recievers did not drop balls thing's would be different. If Maroney was not tripped up several times when he broke into the secondary the pats would have scores more. If, if , if............

None of that happened so none of it matters. You can apply the if card to every game in history. Most fan with sour grapes do that.

Not saying you have sour grapes, I know you dont care either way , just saying. Give the pats defense the credit they deserve. The chargers could not score because the pats d would not allow them to.

[pumpster]

Not a stretch at all based on evidence of only a week ago, actually. Most of the half time guys including Cower agree with me.

The only sure thing, which you've overlooked is that keeping an injured QB in there resulted in zero TDs. A backup couldn't have done much worse.

You have absolutely no objectivity, and continue to do nothing but pander to NE. Extremely boring and predictable, made worse by your propensity for the equivalent of internet diahhrea in your posts-no one's reading after the first coupla paragraphs.

In addition, because you think within the box at all times, you make silly assumptions such as the one about Volek. After your very mistaken assumptions last year about Moss' inability to fit in to NE's team, one would think that you would learn from this debacle instead you keep repeating the same mindset.

If I was Turner I would have put Volek in just to change a chemistry that was'nt working in the first half.

[pumpster]

Absolutely. Common sense that there wasn't much downside and potentially strong upside given that the starter wasn't doing much.

Common sense is in short supply here, the NE maniacs think they know football and don't grasp what you just said.

Just a ploy by the NFL and odds makers to bring down the line...

Pumpster Volek sucks. He has started 4 games in 12 years. The chargers had a far better chance to win with Rivers playing. Rivers was not more effective because the pats d shut him down. I mean you are the guy who claimed woods was erratic and unpredictable. So I mean Im not shocked here.

[OzmO]

That i don't disagree with in that keeping Rivers in was a mistake, But Cower wasn't firm about his view on it and left the issue open, and even then, we are assuming Voltek could have driven them down the field with passes and scored which i don;t think would have happened.  In this case you really have to give it up for the Pats D.

[RUDE BUOY]

gentlemen, gentlemen, the better team won. the team who was better prepared, better practiced, and had more class thats who won. and if feels so good that they beat rivers  and the bad boys  the charges were not running a fucken thing but their mouths

Sprained MCL on LT - doesn't require surgery.

Sprained... Didn't know that was even a injury in the NFL ?

I wonder if the fix was in... He looked like he wanted to play and they wouldn't let him.

How odd is that.
