All right y'all let it out.
Do the Patriots go undefeated and join the Dolphins in NFL history?
and is the torch passed by the Dolphins falling down winless at the same time?

Montana, Elway, Brady.

Best QB of all time?
Does Brady now rate as the best after performance after superlative performance?

I think they'll do it, they are just too darn good. I'm a huge Steelers fan, but in reality, Pittsburgh and Indianapolis won't touch them. Don't even get me started on the NFC.





He has enough super bowl hardware on his hand to make the claim. I think the best of all time are Terry Bradshaw, Bubby Brister, and Ben Roethlisberger.

BTW-Did anyone watch/listen to the monday night game? Absolutely unbelievable. Fourth down with a few minutes left, and an interference call gives New England a new set of downs from which they score. Absolutely amazing game.

Big Ben? Really? I admit, he is formidable force under center, but I wouldn't begin to put him in the same class as Bradshaw, Marino, Elway, Brady, Favre or Montana. In their day, Moon and McNair were pretty amazing, but that was short lived, they belong in a category with the likes of Warner. Some might even put

I like him, he is good, but not the same caliber as the living legends. It is good to see that you are a faithful fan. Heck, I still root for my Huskers!

As far as the Pats going all the way, given the remainder of their schedule, they would have to set a goal not to go all the way for regular season. Of course then we have to look at who is going to meet up with them in the Superbowl, unless they trip in the playoffs, it is hard to say. They haven't been blowing opponents away the last couple of weeks as they did the first half of the season since Phily learned that you can pass inside and beat the Pats defense. Baltimore found that with the right back, such as McGahee, you can pound the crap out of the Pats defensive line and pull out a squeeker of a game. Of course weather played a role, eliminating the passing game, but undefeated teams have to be able to win in all situations, right? They barely did Monday! So now that their weaknesses have been exposed, will some of the better teams that will be in the playoffs be able to take advantage of those weaknesses and send them packing? Only time will tell. I think the playoffs will be more of a hurdle unless they can figure out how to cover inside passing routes and anybody with a strong running game.

I would rather see them go into their final game undefeated, but against Miami. That would make history for those two teams to compete. Both would have a lot on the line. It would be even better if Miami still had no victories, which can be expected. You know Shula "The Big Tuna" will be on hand for the Miami/Pats game, and you know he is rooting against the Pats in every contest, even if he goes on record cheering them on. If Miami pulls out an upset, it would be enough of a victory to make that 1-13 record feel like the 17-0 did in 1972.

I think Nebraska was just being a homer (well, not exactly) with that statement (Brister?).

I don't particularly care for how the Patriots are playing this year. Not the fact that they are winning, but the manner in which they have done it with running up the score in multiple games. The last few close calls will probably help them to at least finisht the season undefeated, assuming they can get by the Steelers.

There is an expression in the NFL: "Any given Sunday". The teams are so evenly matched that on any given Sunday, any team can win. The Pats are not the only team to start the season 12-0 and they probably won't be the last. Getting over the hump where opposing teams need to win to get in the play offs or your players are playing so they don't get hurt really harms a team's shot at going 16-0. We'll see how it pans out.

Never Never Never Never Never Never make a guarantee in football. (Namath is the exception)

Pittsburg spent the first half looking like they could take the Pats BUT never came close again.

New England's also seemed to regain its form in this game after 2 dismal outings.

Brady regained his composure well in the second half.

Yeah in my IMO best QB Ever so far in NFL history.

and the Dolphins..................................

Worst team Ever -- at least the Bucs can claim they were new.
