It's always a slobberknocker.

NE's 2007 schedule....so, what's not to like?

Uh, have you seen the Pats schedule the next 5 weeks?????

No, but I do realize that it's their toughest schedule under Belichick. EVER.

11 teams were over .500 last year, 7 were 11-game winners and 5 of 8
NE home games are against playoff teams, so it's definitely no cake
walk, but...

I was referring to NE's AFC East opponents...

Buffalo at 4-4... that's as good as it gets so far, so you guys pretty much
are gonna lock the division up. NE's almost guaranteed 5 wins there.

However, Pats struggle at Miami and home vs the Jets usually, regardless of record. That's what killed a playoff spot last year, and we already lost to the Jets this year.

2003 may have been the toughest under Coach Bill.

2003 was a very impressive NFL season.
The Pats became the first team ever to beat SEVEN teams with 10 wins and the first to ever beat THREE teams with 12 wins - Philly, Indy and Tenn - in the regular season.

Then they beat Indy and Tenn again in the playoffs.

They also won 15 in a row, running the table after starting 2-2.

Indy is the fourth team in league history with 17 straight regular-season
wins. New England did it twice -- winning a record 21 straight from
2006-08 and 18 in a row from 2003-04. Chicago won 17 straight from
1933-34.

Jim Caldwell became the NFL's first rookie coach to start 8-0 since
Potsy Clark in 1930.

Peyton Manning, a three-time MVP, tied Hall of Famer Fran Tarkenton for
fourth in career victories (125) and became the first player in league
history to throw for 40,000 yards in one decade.

Tight end Dallas Clark caught 14 passes, the third-highest single-game
total by an NFL tight end.

With eight receptions, Reggie Wayne moved past Hall of Famer
Raymond Berry and into second on the Colts' career reception list.

Star NFL Running Back Released After [Edit] Slurs,
Comments on Coach

Monday, November 09, 2009

KANSAS CITY, Mo. ? Larry Johnson's record-breaking career as
a Kansas City running back is over.

The Chiefs confirmed Monday that they had run out of patience with his
off-the-field problems and released Johnson the day he was due to come
back from his second suspension in a year.

Johnson, who turns 30 on Nov. 19, was just 75 yards away from breaking
Priest Holmes' team rushing record.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,573225,00.html

Johnson should have gone away long ago.

He is on my fanasty team. Thanks Larry!

Johnson should have stayed.

I am sick and tired of the PC police having a strangle hold on our society.

No, I don't agree with what he said, but c'mon, man! To ruin a man's career just because he said something? Get freakin' real!

His actions off the field are for CHIT too Zep. he is like TO now. Other than being a premadonna............and that stinking good, that is.

Chiefs should have parted with him 2 years ago.

I think Snyder and the Redskins are already jumping on him.

(Portis got JACKED UP in the ATL game.)

Was Hall even at that game or for that matter the rest of the Skin's defense?

I don't think they were Bro.

Their $100M man got caught on the hard count not ONCE - but TWICE.

LeVar Arrington has a sports talk radio show on 106.7 FM here on my ride
home.

He was SCREAMING at the 'skins D yesterday. He was LIVID.

Mr. Hall needs to take the skirt off, grow a set, shut his mouth and learn what a late hit is.

I'll tell ya, if the 'skins can put up some D like they have in some of those
close losses, they just might have a game here Sunday against NO.

Saints are ripe for an upset,
but I'll pass.

NO 12-0.
