Can the Patriots do the unthinkable?

[spaceman]

ya i just read espn...what's your take? Can Tom Brady man up once again?
Can/Will they go all the way?

 

Nope.

 

[chuckywang]

No, it's not their year this year.

 

[spaceman]

so it's completely out of the realm of possibility?

Not out of the realm, but they won't do it.

 

[meltdown75]

they're my pick for the champs this year. so... yeah, i think they can do it again.

It's a lot different playing the Colts in Indy, rather than in NE. It's a long shot.

Even if they knock off the Colts, they would have to travel to Denver or Cincinnati for the champ game. Not impossible, just unlikely.

Gonna get their asses handed to them in 1st round.

COlts will win. Giants will lose in the NFC championship series game.

Patriots have a chance. Everyone says Colts are gona crush the Pats, but look what just happened to Indi at home against the Chargers. The Patriots have one of the best front 7 including Seymore, they can definitely apply pressure. Tom Brady backed by a healthy Corey Dillon can score on any defense. And you have to remember what happened the last two times the Colts and the Pats met in a playoff game. Tom Brady is still undefeated in the playoffs while Manning has a horrible record in the playoffs.

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

nope

 

[spidey07]

Without their usual starters at secondary the pats will get shredded by wayne and harrison.

I don't know what the niners were thinking yesterday. They must've forgot they're suppose to lose every game after the season opener to have a chance at the reggie bush sweepstake.

I picked up/started Garrard and benched Brady last week...oooopppsss...

who wudda thought he would do that well against Tampa after being pretty banged up...

Brady scored 30 pts while Garrard got me 18 pts which isn't that bad (I guess...)

 

[GagHalfrunt]

The Patriots of the last 3 weeks are a long long way from the Patriots team that started the year 6-5. Always trust Brady and Vinatieri when the chips are down and most importantly, the defense is smacking people around again. Yeah, maybe the Colts are the better team and yeah, these Patriots are not the same club that won 3 Super Bowls. But be honest, how comfortable would you be if your team (even the Colts) had to face the Pats in the playoffs with the way they're playing now?

Heck no!! The Pats are getting healthy just in time for the playoffs, they are still the team to beat IMO.

 

[codeyf]

Possible, yes. But I think the Colts will finally pull it out this year. But I think it's 65/35 leaning the Colts way. You just never know with the Pats because of their shaky start. But they're really hitting their stride at the right time.

true, but look at the defensive stats. That's the only way to beat the colts. Manning got beat up sunday and that's really the only way to stop them.

great rush defense with a 2nd/3rd place or higher NFL secondary. You can't out score them.

 

[monk3y]

This is exactly what the Pats want... To be underdogs again. Until they lose... I'm not going to say they can't do it.

 

[Gunther]

I think the pats can go all the way. IMO the key game will be ne vs indy, whoever wins this game will be the super bowl champ.

No, but as a Pats fan, I think this was a rebuilding and re-acclimating sort of season (thus far), unless this team gels on both sides of the ball, and we get a running game going, I don't think we have a shot at makting it to Detroit....
