19-0: 6 to go[/B]
And now back to your regularly scheduled program.
No brilliant last-minute TD drives. No controversial calls. No doubt about it. Just another day-at-the-office 3-touchdown win and second-half shutout over a 9-3 team with the top-rated defense in the league.
Incredible seats today, just 20 rows up at the goal line where the Patriots scored both TDs in the 3rd quarter including the alltime classic Brady>Moss>Brady>Gaffney. Then the Steelers drive to make it first and goal...oh, end of the 3rd quarter, bring that action right back over here to our side!...Stuffed, stuffed, stuffed, and stuffed, right in front of us, good night! Best moment of the night (besides the 3-pass TD) was Moss\' first catch, seen above, which also happened right in front of us. Moss was totally covered but reached right over his defender and grabbed the ball, sending the entire section into conniptions. Even the Steelers fans started laughing. Look at that picture, he is
behind his defender! To cap the night off, being behind Pittsburgh\'s bench, we unleashed a little "guarantee" chant. I guarantee that if the Steelers show up here again, the results will be the same!
This is going to make the Playoffs much more difficult for them to run, imo.
Sorry, that\'s not how it works. You\'re thinking like yourself, not like a Patriot. What you are really saying is, "If I were a Patriot, the pressure of entering the postseason 16-0 would weigh heavily on me." But you have to understand these guys and how
they think. They are invulnerable to mental handicap. They know no past. They know no future other than the very next game. They never believe they have accomplished anything until the confetti flies. They are programmed by Belichick and they all think and act this way all the time. If you listen to their radio shows and mid-week media sessions, they all say these things every time. This is nothing new. There are a lot of things that will affect what happens in the playoffs, but their season record isn\'t one of them. When you take the field against the Patriots,
you have the mental disadvantage by default.
(I know this will be a lost analogy on most people, but if you watched Star Trek The Next Generation, you remember
The Borg. The Borg were a collective being that all shared the same thoughts that were programmed into them by one mastermind. They were absurdly efficient and an impossible enemy. Check out this quote from their Wiki page:
"The Borg have become a symbol in popular culture for any juggernaut against whom \'resistance is futile\'...They operate towards one single minded purpose: the pursuit of perfection...This is achieved through forced assimilation..." The Patriots are The Borg.)
And finally, what the hell are the Colts doing running up the score on Baltimore right now? They go up 30-0 in the second quarter and Peyton Manning is still throwing the ball in the second half? They should be missing tackles on purpose and punting on first down! What a classless organization!
