it always depends on Sanchez...in the Pats case...if Brady is picking up 3rd downs they are impossible to beat.

But yeah...if Sanchez plays like he did against the Colts the Pats will win by 14+

He missed open throw after open throw after open throw and almost gave the vastly inferior Colts the game.

Like when he called out his O-Line.

Or pulls his patented Manning face all the time.

Spare me.

Meh.

Manning was dealt a lousy hand.

They need to can that whole damn coaching staff...every single one of them. Start clean.

Pats fans don't know how good they have it...and they should cherish the now and Belichick...because when he's gone it'll never be the same...no one can coach like that guy...he's amazing. He's always a step or two ahead of the curve.

Actually, with friends ranging from Jimmy Johnson (annual fishing excursions) to Bon Jovi, and rumors of a really great (though dry) sense of humor, I suspect Belichick is much cooler than any of us ever get to see on TV.

Which I could give a crap about anyway. JUST WIN GODDAMMIT. You can have the personality of a rock, JUST WIN. You can have the fashion sense of a rotting corpse, JUST WIN.

I saw enough great guys lose. Dick MacPherson is probably the genuinely nicest guy to walk a sidelines, but he sucked as a head coach.

If Manning wants to win another SB, he's going to have to get out of IND. That team will not be able to be restored to a SB winner in the highly-productive years that Manning has left.

Bring him in for a look?

they need to get rid of that outdated shitty ****ing coaching staff...

Rex Ryan would have been a perfect coach for Peyton Manning...let Peyton and the Polians build that offense and then have Rex build up an actual defense that doesn't play that bend don't break cover 2 bullshit with undersized everyone that ends up keeping Peyton off the field the entire game.

It's shit football...the Jets would get 5 yards every time they ran the ball by default...it's happened to them all year...and every year of Peyton's career...

dude has had the least possessions in the NFL for seasons...some of that has to do with the fact he's known to have 9 or 10 minute drives...a lot of it also has to do with the fact his defense gives up those 9 or 10 minute drives as well.

**** the Tony Dungy tree...what an overrated, shitty, suckass coaching tree.

Heh.

If it could be limited to a single draft, I would probably pull a Ditka to make Manning a Chief. If I were the owner, I would damn near demand it. Imagine the revenue this single player would generate...

You gotta be kidding me -- I know exactly how good we have it. I lived through 2-14 and 1-15 seasons and the biggest Super Bowl blowout loss in NFL history at the time.

Ben Dreith and Tony Eason. Victor Kiam and PenisGate (or whatever you want to call it). Irving Fryar and the kitchen knife incident. Ken Sims and being the "Patsies". Bill Parcells, buying groceries and the "we're playing in the Super Bowl, great, let me start negotiating with my team's rivals about jumping ship". Dick MacPherson and Ron Ehrhart and Rod Rust.

Marino/Shula and Kelly/Levy kicking our ass every year.

DON'T TELL ME I DON'T KNOW HOW GOOD I HAVE IT. I'VE GONE FROM THE OUTHOUSE TO THE PENTHOUSE, AND LIFE IS ****ING SWEET!

I usually go for the underdog, but I'm going to enjoy watching the Patriots plaster them.

Raymond Berry. you forgot him ;)

leave it to hootie to upset Amnorix..lol

LMAO. Yeah, not everyone is twenty-five.

Almost nothing here upsets me, to be honest, but this one was irritating.

Don't frigging tell me I don't appreciate how good it is. You gotta be old enough to remember just how f'n BAD it was to know how good you have it.

I have been a Pats fan since I was 6 years old = 1975
I do know how lucky we are. The Pats sucked ass for many years. Ya there were some good years with Steve Grougun ,Eisen at Q/B & Spidyman ,Fryer at wide out.
But never did I see the DYNASTY thing happening.
God the ass kicking I took in grade school wearing my Pats winter coat.
Every kid wore either a Stealer or a cowboys coat back then.
I stuck out like a sore thumb in late 70s.
