Not sure what football-related shows you watch on television, but I’d recommend watching anything on NFL Network or any NFL-related show on ESPN. I can’t remember the last time any of those shows *didn’t* mention the Packers in some capacity, especially on whether they can go undefeated this season.

They still might be one and done. Who knows. They are a better team, though, you could tell by all the high-fiving by BB after the Jets game. He likes this team. So do I.

Defense will only get better. Chew on that, haters, Pats are back (they never left.)

Bowe is one of the best receivers in the game.

He hasn’t quite hit Randy Moss “play when I want to” status.

I agree, but I have come to realize that the T-Bone offense is more sophisticated than it appears. It exhausts defenses and draws a lot of secondary attention to the box. It can become a big-play offense if Tebow can improve his progressions and accuracy. I’ve never seen another offense that affords so many receivers to run around unaccounted for. His accuracy looked much better, yesterday and 3 incomplete passes were indisputable drops.

These are just my observations, but they come from the perspective of a hardcore Tebow-skeptic, prior to the game against the Jets.

The media is too up and down on the Pats. When they win, it’s a love-fest. When they lose, it’s the end of the dynasty. The reality is somewhere in the middle.

What happened versus Baltimore or even versus NY is as likely to happen as not, but not one team in the AFC should be overconfident right now. Even the best team in the NFC has some holes on defense. I am a Pats fan and I think that Baltimore is the most complete team in the AFC right now. It will be hard to truly evaluate the Pats from now until year end because they play a rather pedestrian schedule.

I agree with nearly everything you said, but I would still say the Pats are well past their dynasty years. They’ll be interesting as long as Brady and Belicheck stick around, but they’re not nearly as dominant as they were between 2001-2004. Talking heads anointing them as potential Super Bowl favorites at the start of every NFL season is overselling them. They are perennial playoff contenders, but I still say they don’t have the balance to carry them over the top anymore.

Jeff Garcia’s phone should be ringing right now.

How about both the Chiefs and the Eagles franchise their respective WRs then make a trade?

Not sure which team would come out on top of that transaction but it could be a win/win (or lose/lose) scenario.

Do you even remember the last time the Patriots played the Ravens (and even Steelers for that matter)?

If you don’t- maybe you should watch ESPN’s A Football Life again on your boy Belichick. It was in your home, with a better Pats team, against who? Flacco and co.

The last time the Pats played the Ravens, they beat them (2010 season).

The 09 Pats were BY FAR one of the worst teams BB ever coached. Mentally weak, physically pathetic. Bunch of “ME” guys. How he got 10 wins out of that squad I’ll never know. This year’s Pats, flawed as they are, would DEMOLISH the 09 Pats. They’re MUCH more mentally and physically tough and they execute better in critical spots this year. Who knows if they win a playoff game this year or even get to the playoffs? We’ll see…but I am much happier with this version of the Pats than I have been in a long while .

Lurie should clean house, dump DeSean Jackson and Vince Young, then bring in former Eagles assistant Jeff Fisher.

Brett Farve will be in the HOF as a Packer. He will be remembered as a Packer. All the records he holds, he attained as a Packer.

Fire The Walrus

Anybody paying big $$$$ to these moronic wide receivers like Desean J. or Steve Johnson gets what they deserve. Throw running backs that bitch and moan and hold out in that pig pile also.

Are you serious? Brady traditionally owns the Steelers, who scored 0 points in the second half against the CHIEFS last night, with their ONLY touchdown coming off a horribly underthrown Palko interception that set them up inside the 10. New England WILL have home field throughout. The Ravens have an inept offense (sorry Flacco, you’re strictly average), and no one else in the AFC can really contend unless you’re talking about the Schaubless Texans. Wait until the injuries are straightened out, and you’ll watch New England’s defense fix itself on the fly. This is a quality team, my friend. Not Detroit-overrated, and CERTAINLY not Philly-overrated.

P.S. I’d love to hear what your favorite team is…

Whole lotta good home field advantage did for the Patriots in the playoffs the last two years.

And I’m a Ravens fan.

Four-day-old Niner stories and AJ Green helping beat the hapless Browns are much more interesting, no?

McNabb is the anti-Tebow, he will always find a way to lose the game.

Reid has run his course. It’s the same bumbling, stumbling, “It’s on me. We’ll get better.” routine but with diminishing panache each time.

It’s time to find a young coach who shows the same type of drive and organization that Reid did 13 years ago.

Sometimes a fresh start is exactly what’s needed.

Secondly, Tebowmania, while being fun, is actually a solid running game, strong defense, and the ability o win it in the end. It’s actually pretty solid.

Third- The Eagles may get rid of Andy Reid, but I think that would be a mistake. I think that the top brass will make Reid find better coaches, but I think they will keep him. From what I see, the offense isn’t the problem. Philly’s defense stinks.

Oh, and Raheem Morris shouldn’t go anywhere, either. Yes, he’s had a bad year. But I think he will bounce back next year. Remember, he had this team playing better than their talent for the past few years. And they are all still really young. Let them overcome adversity.

As far as Jeff Fisher is concerned, I can see him going to the Colts. I would. See, you would have Peyton Manning, and upgrades in the draft (I wouldn’t choose Luck, though. I would try to upgrade elsewhere and get a qb later on.) So you will have a younger team with an offensive coordinator on the field. That’s a good job, once Manning comes back.
