I know he got injured, but you guys do have possibly the best running back in the league, and he's a rookie. That's got to be worth something.

Ye Olde gunslinger is looking pretty good this season. Packers could go far. They are lucky they dont have to play Pittsburgh. New England is not so lucky, and will lose to Pittsburgh December 9th, ruining their perfect season.

That will be a close game... New England is such a machine this year though, it's really amazing.

The Steelers have a real chance...New England is overrated. The Colts didn't play all that well and should have beaten them.

Maybe New England is a little overrated, especially with the weak division they're in, but they're still 9-0. Hard to argue against that record.

Actually I think it could be argued that the Patriots didn't play all that well in that game and still came back from a 10 point deficit on the road against the only other undefeated team in the league. Plus, I watched that game, the refs sucked and were completely in favor of the Colts.

Perhaps the Colts showed themselves to be the overrated team with Manning's six pick game and Vinetari's choke job?

/Not a Patriots fan, but I give credit where credit is due. They are VERY good. They are going to massacre my Eagles in two weeks, or at least I expect that to happen. 19-0

What are your feelings on Donovan McNabb, Germy?

KillerGremlin · 11-13-2007, 05:19 PM

McNabb is cracking on all the unnecessary pressure put on him because he is black. That was sarcasm, but there is no way the Eagles are going anywhere this year. The Cowboys and the Packers actually look like contenders for the AFC this year...however, the Patriots have been a machine thus far.

as a vikings fan.... i'm not surprised. Oh well, i'll be patient and wait until they become good again. In the meantime, I'm praying Colt McCoy doesn't screw the pooch against A&M

When did I say the Colts were super almighty or weren't overrated? If anything, that just further proves my point that the Pats are as well. You can't go and say "the only other undefeated team" and then call them overrated, that's flawed logic and I expect more from you Germ.

Fair enough, you didn't say that the Colts weren't overrated, but you said that the Patriots were overrated. And also, I never said that you said the Colts weren't overrated. I made that remark on my own after seeing what a lackluster game they just had. Plus, that was phrased as a question (a leading question of course), and I see that you agree that they may be overrated. My point is that the Patriots are not.

Basically, I don't understand how you can overrate statistically the BEST NFL TEAM EVER (so far). There's just no comparison, really. That's the top rating you could ever get, and what is there to say that that's incorrect, really? On pace for most points, margin of victory, QB rating, wins, etc ever in a different era where you aren't supposed to be able to build a team like this. Sure, their division is extremely weak, but it's not like they've just sneaked by those teams, they've absolutely dismantled them. They also handled the 8-1 Cowboys, 5-4 Redskins, 5-4 Chargers, rather easily and have beaten the 7-2 Colts on the road despite poor one-sided officiating.

If they struggle against the Steelers or anyone else on their road to what I believe will at least be 14-0 start, then we'll have a discussion. But for now, they are the best team ever, and I don't think any kind of "overratedness"(?) is involved. To me, it's a fact but you can of course disagree.
