you aren't kidding me. And they're my boys.

But it wasn't him who choked, it was the line and finally they can protect them. Ever since he started calling the plays and coach given him the ability to do so have they excelled.

IMHO.

-edit-
and that's what the chargers did, they got to him and banged him up with a good seondary to cover the deep routes.

-edit-
My main point is the Patriots don't have the defense that is needed to win that game.

The patriots OBLITERATED the Buccaneers on Saturday. The patriots had secondary problems last year due to injuries and everyone chose against them against the Colts? What ended up happening? The Colts got ass raped. The Colts are vulnerable, and until the Patriots lose in the playoffs, you cannot choose against them.

heh, well if we wager now its even.

But i've been trying all season to get you to put your money where you mouth is. Nothing personal, I like another fan as much as anybody...but it's coming down to the wire and your boys are turning it around - hopefully we'll get to rib each other next year no matter what the outcome.
;)

we're probably going against AT rules...so....

-edit- not only that, colts choke in the playoffs so that sounds even to me. ;)

Losing by 9, with seven points after the game was pretty much won, is getting ass raped?

Losing 41-20 in your home place is an ass raping.

I'll gladly choose against the Pats this year. We'll just have to see whose right.

Seahawks are going to win it. Its there year. I can feel it.

I think the Bears will beat Seattle, as long as the defense that played in Pittsburgh doesn't show up. Plus, with Grossman back, they have a halfway decent offense now.

Yes.
They're getting their shyt together and starting to peak.
They have two more games to shake the junk out of their lineup.
They have a better chance than most.
