Was given a ticket for tonight\'s game and it was a blast. Chargers did not even play Rivers or LT in the second half as they had the game under control.
Bring on the Raiders and the #3 Playoff seed is the Chargers for their taking. -

The Great Conflict of 2007 just got a lot less conflicted. The game is now on CBS and NBC!!! Wow! The nation is obsessed with Pats Mania! I told you this would happen! Now I can report to Toads and watch the end of them game while listening to The Breakfast. Oh joyous blissful occasion. When Brady throws the record breaking TD to Moss and the Pats lock up a perfect season while The Breakfast plays Score, I might just melt into the floor with joy.

Hopefully the Chargers remain a 3 seed and win their first game so the Colts can avenge their embarrassing loss from earlier in the year. The Jaguars should be able to beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh again. If the Jaguars are unable to beat New England, I\'d love to see the Colts avenge their only other loss. It would be difficult without Pro bowlers Harrison and Freeney as well as Mathis but I think they can do it. Wayne will most likely be matched up with Rodney Harrison, who knows Manning better than anyone else, but Wayne is too good not to perform. Dallas Clark and Gonzalez across the middle all day. After the Chargers game Manning finally realized that he doesn\'t have to do everything in order for this offense to work. He doesn\'t have to force throws nor does he have to constantly look deep. He can let his receivers run their routs and as long as he hits them in the right places, this offense is as good as it\'s ever been.
Since Week 10
Manning 15TD 4INT QB Rating - 109.6
Combined Opponents Record - 35-55
Brady 15TD 4INT QB Rating - 94.8
Combined Opponents Record- 32-58
Does anyone else see how much the Colts and Patriots have flip flopped from the 2005 season? Now, it\'s Brady who is cruising by with what is going to be a record breaking season for passing TDs. They are very healthy and they were blowing teams out for most of the season. The Colts are playing very good team ball, especially on offense. Their defense is very battered but they keep believing in the system and showing they can defend their Superbowl crown. All the talk this season has been centered around the Patriots so somehow the Colts have been slightly under the radar even though they won the Superbowl last year.
I\'m not sure if I asked this before or not but if the Patriots go 16-0 but don\'t win the Superbowl is this season considered a waste? In all reality, no one in training camp sets their goal at going 16-0. Their goal is to win the Superbowl. -

From what I have seen the Patriots are playing the best football needed to win. -

I\'m sorry, but this strikes me as an odd question coming from a Colts fan. Shouldn\'t you know the answer to this? How do you feel about the Colts season? Obviously you, the Colts fan, wouldn\'t consider anything but a successful championship defense a successful season, right? If you don\'t know the answer to this question, that strikes me as a way of saying, "The Colts season is successful as long as they make the AFC Championship. At that point it doesn\'t matter if they lose to the Patriots." But that\'s not what you really think about the Colts. I think you can handle this question on your own. -

now the whole world can see how awful Gumbel is...
"the colts have a chance tonight to be the first undefeated team since the 1992 florida marlins." -

I\'ve never watched a full game or show on nfl network but from what I\'ve heard from EVERY person I\'ve ever asked, Gumbel is a horrible commentator.

Yeah, I didn\'t do a good job wording that one well. I\'m not really sure what I was trying to achieve with that statement beyond the fact that 16-0 means absolutely nothing if you don\'t go 19-0, which is very obvious. -
-
I don\'t know if I agree with that. Sure, a perfect season would mean going all the way to the superbowl without a loss and 19-0, but to do a regular season perfect run of 16-0 is still pretty damn impressive.
And anyway, if you want to be that technical, wouldn\'t the overall season already be tainted since they LOST the first two preseason games against tampa bay and Tennessee?

Yeah a better question would have been directed at you, as you have posted after every game and though you believe they will go 19-0, I think the question can be asked will all that posting you did fluffing a team that could not win the Super Bowl have been worth it to you? -

Jets Rule.
and thats all I got to say about that. mmmhmmm -

congrads to the pats. Satan will be around to collect on your souls right after you win the superbowl.

19-0: 3 to go[/B]
The Great Conflict of 2007 turned out to be The Greatest Moment of 2007. What a night. Peace and greatness surrounding me. I\'ve certainly never been bombarded with such incredible action on all sides of me at once. Check this out:
The Brady-to-Moss bomb to break all the records and take the lead in the 4th quarter came during Buquebus. BUQUEBUS! Toad\'s had the game on right there in the room. I didn\'t even have to go to the back bar and listen through the wall. I was dancing in the crowd to Buquebus and watching the Pats go undefeated at the same time. I was hands-on-my-head ecstatic...almost overcome with joy. Then while the Pats are holding the lead and sealing the game, the Breakfast played Reba (which they nailed). In fact, Mike Vrabel made the game-ending onside kick catch at the exact moment Reba ended. So let me get this straight...
The Breakfast is playing Phish and the Patriots are going undefeated at the exact same time.
You have to be kidding me. It was my George Costanza perfect moment. All I needed at that point was a blowjob and a Sally\'s apizza.
So that\'s the personal side of the night. Where does the greater football world stand now? It pretty much boils down to this: we are all heavily invested in this team. If these guys win the Super Bowl they will indisputably be the greatest team to ever play football, and arguably the greatest team in the history of American sport. Every conversation will start and end with them, every time. You can toss around the usual mentions of the \'85 Bears and 70\'s Steelers and whoever and that\'s cute, but nobody will hear it as anything more than another way of saying "Look, I just personally don\'t like the Patriots." It will be this way for the rest of your life. If you don\'t like the Patriots, you really, really, really need them to lose. If you\'re neutral on them, just be glad you were alive in this era to see this. And if you\'re a Pats fan, you really, really, really need them to finish.
This is going to be fun for all of us. Bring on anybody. See you in two weeks. -
