Can the Patriots get some respect now?

[BostonRedSoxx]

As far as over-rated teams go, three words: Steelers and Rams !

How can a team that's consistantly been the underdog and not picked to win anything be overrated?

Ok, so maybe the pre-season stats are meaningless, but they were thrown in to prove a point. But like ElFenix said, this looks a little more impressive:
11 GAME WINNING STREAK !!!!!!!!!!!!

The same Broncos that didn't even make the playoffs last year?? Sure, the broncs are looking good
so far this year but don't forget the game is in NE...Orange=crushed

They won't be under-rated now.

Give me a break. You think the Broncos are tough all of a sudden? Is it the way they knocked around the Rams that makes you think they will knock Brady out? You can circle 10/27 on your calendar and I assure you, Brady won't be throwing 4 interceptions this time.

I love meaningless stats like that!

Until last night, Steve Spurrier had never lost in September.

LOL @ meaningless stats. Don't be jealous of the Pats for being an awesome team. Direct your jealousy to whatever loser team you root for and sit back and relax as the World Champs tear them apart.

I am not jealous. I just know that my team, the EAGLES, know how to tear apart an over-rated team. As I said before, see you in San Diego...

It's a good thing your team can tear apart an over-rated team. You should probably worry about good teams, and a little less about the Rams.

Bellichick must be pretty confident for those games. I guess he does know Bledsoe real well. It will be interesting to see if he can shut Bledsoe down like he did when he was with the Jets.

simple answer: NO

Nope. You got no running game. Tricky pass schemes are prone to failure. Too many passes...too many sacks....no mo Brady. You need power running. Can you spell Ricky Williams? Dolphins will let you come in second, though.

Um, make that Rams and Niners, two supposed Superbowl contenders. The patsies haven't played against a D like the Broncos in a long time.

But you're right on one thing, Brady won't be throwing 4 ints, cause he'll be watching the game from the sideline after Pryce knocks him out of the game.

And what is it you consider a power running game? A big runner? Antowain Smith is 6'2", 232 lbs compared to Ricky Williams' 5'10" 228 lbs. 100 yards rushing? I'll give you the fact that Ricky has 2, 100 yard rushing games and Antowain has 0. But lets see, Ricky got one against Detroit and the Pats had to play Pittsburgh. The Pats got 163 yards against the Jets. Just as many as the Dolphins got against the Colts. Ohhh yeah, the Pats held Jerome Bettis to 35 yards (Steelers to 63 total) and Curtis Martin to 5 yards (Jets to 32 total). They were 2 of the best in the AFC last year. We'll see how succesful Ricky is.

What kind of 'D' do the Broncos have? You need to remember who started knocking the Rams heads off their shoulders first. And if you want Brady laid out, you need to get Romanowski back. He si the only one who will take the cheap shot needed to do that.
