The NFL 2007 Season

100% agree. I thought the Eagles had finally come up with a plan to beat the Pats - get the receivers to cut back inside the cornerbacks. It worked time and time again, think of their last scoring drive which was what 10 plays (I think) - all passes. Screen passes for short yardage and the "I going outside no I'm not" passes for the long gains. The ONLY thing they could POSSIBLY do wrong was throw outside - so they did it.

 

bad time to loose their minds!

it's like making 17 perfect dives in the Olympics and then belly flopping on the last final 18th dive...bad news bears! err eagles.

WHICH MEANS, since all of the NFC East lost on Sunday, the Cowboys winning Thursday would give them a virtual lock on winning the East. I can't remember if they would in fact clinch or be within one game of doing so

First time since 1998 if they win the division though

 

Who do you like tomorrow?

Let me rephrase that, who do you think will win and why?

 

Well the Pats are now 12-0, and it doesnt get any easier next week. They get to play the Steelers! From the time the Pats beat the Colts I have said that the Steelers will be the team to beat them. They have a great defense and a strong running game, but Big Ben really needs to step up and not commit any turnovers to succeed. For the Pats, I think Belichik already has them on their tip toes working on how to get better.
As for Dallas beating the Packers, it would have been a different outcome if Favre was actually in the game .

Westoff.

 

The last three games have proven without a doubt that the Pats are quite beatable, and not entirely unstoppable...

 

wrong, the team to beat them was the Eagles but they blanked up!!

actually I didn't see the game last night, did Bal have a shot?

 

Any team is beatable if they have been beaten and any team is stoppable once they have been stopped, none of those apply to the Pats thus far. Not beaten and un-stopped.

Hell yea they had a shot, and they had put the Pats away too, but they forgot to completely seal the deal in fourth and just let up too early. Pats shifted into the next gear, and beat the Ravens on a Brady TD pass with 44 seconds to go. Ah, the greatness of Tom Brady. The best clutch player since Micheal Jordan.

Westoff.

 

right I finally read the recap of the game...some questionable penalties too to keep the drive alive? they must be on the never ending payroll of the mastermind (Bill B)

 

You sound like Mike Brady.. What incredible double speak..

 

The penalties weren't that questionable, Ravens just made stupid mistakes. Plus, through the first three quarters all penalties were going Balitmore's way.

And man, I love your Bill B comments, hahahaha .

 

What is questionable is using video footage to spy on other teams during games..

 

Yea, the question is which teams are still doing it, after the Pats getting caught .

Westoff.

 

you just can't get over that can you. so what, they got caught and every team does it.

every team still does it, their just careful how they do it.

 

Exactly. Since the Pats don't do it anymore, you can say they are playing with a disadvantage and still winning .

 

of course their still doing it, i just hope their being a little more sneaky about it.

and yes, it seems their unstoppable, we'll see with the Steelers up next.

 

Bob Kraft has so much $$, he's probably in talks with getting his own spy satellite or at the very least a Patriots spy plane.

 

Ok, so now a Steeler's player is "guaranteeing" a win over the Pats, though Steeler's other players are still downplaying the optimism .

I love how he is getting so over-confindent. It's only gonna hurt more once they lose .

Westoff.

 

How exactly do you guarantee something like that.. I mean, if the don't win, will he give his salary back or something?

 

yeah, that's good . like you need to give the Pats more of an incentive to put the smack down!

no kidding. players either need to shut their cake holes or ante up "if we don't win, I'll donate 3 games pay to charity" or something like that!!

 

Better yet, the anti up should be entire salary given to tax payers that foot the bill for the stadiums!
