Let’s worry about roster moves after that little game coming up in Arizona in two weeks.

[yield 2 the right]

Is anyone else having audio dropouts...on the FOX HD broadcast?

I was sitting in the upper deck of Rich Stadium (now Ralph Wilson Stadium) when the Bills beat the Jets to clinch the 1993 AFC East championship. Temp was -4 at kickoff, 35 MPH winds with gusts to 45. They estimated the wind chill as fluctuating between -40 and -70. Of Course, the game went down to the final minute too (17-14 I think.)

[Zack Attack]

Actually it was in Cincy during the AFC championship in January of 1982. Coldest game in the league history.

Was it? Well, I had the state right at least. LOL.

[michigander]

Did you say something?

[discostu]

The NFL has NEVER made a team forfeit a game, EVER. So that “should have” is a “never happened” and therefore an idiotic request. Anyway the taper got caught in the first quarter, the Jets had 3/4 to make up whatever “advantage” was given.

No the biggest question is why are some people so obsessed with the breaking of a rule they probably didn’t even know existed prior to Sept of 07?

Football is a manly game, watched or played. There’s no room in it on either side of the camera for pathetic loser obsessive behavior.

And actually I’m a STEELER fan. Which just proves that the whining crowd is full of crap. They like to pretend they’re the head of a major anti-Pats movement, a nation of the irritated, really they’re just a small number of people with a sad obsession with tearing down the accomplishments of others. Genetically incapable of actually experiencing joy they instead have to try to remove joy from others. When confronted with the possibility of enjoying one of the most amazing seasons in the history of professional sports they instead scramble to find something to complain about. I like football, I like the fact that I might get to see the first perfect season in 35 years, the first perfect season of the 16 game era, given the movement the league seems to be making towards adding a game to the season possibly the ONLY perfect season of the 16 game era. You see, I actually can experience joy, the joy of the game. You should try it out sometimes, I promise you won’t have an allergic reaction, it’s actually not possible to be allergic to happiness.

He’s making better cuts and he hits hard. That Chargers DB he nailed on the sideline when backward hard.

Between him, Morris and Faulk next year they are going to have one of the best backfields in the game.

[scott says]

I think FA may bring some real talent, we shall see. I see them trading out of a lot of thier picks and picking up FA and maybe get lucky with some diamonds in the rough.
Need youth and speed at LB and talent and exprience at DB.

[mainepatsfan]

Fouts suffered frost bite in his throwing hand I believe.

[misterrob]

My wife said the same thing!!!

[Bender2]

What? What! The Pack... did not score!

Well, Brett scored with me... about 8 months ago.

[Last Visible Dog]

POINT: It’s really too bad you’re stuck living in the events of the 1st quarter of week 1, they’ve played 17 3/4 games since then, time to catch up to reality.

Well....it happened is THIS season and these playoffs and Superbowl is for THIS season - it is relevant. The New England team has gone undefeated but they did get caught cheating in one for these games. That is reality.

GET A LIFE, STOP THE WHINING!

I only am stating the facts - I am sorry I don't drink your brand of NFL kool-aid. You may want take your own advice and establish a life of your own beyond kool-aid drinker and whiner.

Pats haters this seasons

The Pats have worked very hard to grow the size of that group.

the new low water mark in complete inability to move on and accept reality.

Speaking of getting a life - the cheating happened this season - we will move on next season when everything resets.

Be happy - your team looks to be currently the best in the NFL*



*and they only got caught cheating once

[The Forgotten Man]

The Wendys commercial with the guy and redhair pigtails is repulsive....

[yield 2 the right]

3rd coldest game in NFL history according to FOX....

[mainepatsfan]

It had to kill poor Morris not being able to play today.

[michigander]

Man, did Woodson get run over there....

[misterrob]

The Pats play the game at a different level than everyone else. Most people think playoffs, we think SB and dynasty.

[mainepatsfan]

We are blessed.

And Colvin...
