This Week in the NFL (11)

Gah! Now I will agree with Stu, the Pats might be overrated if my Eagles could stick with them..

Though if the Eagles played like that all year, we'd be 8-3 and a playoff team, but that's not how it goes. Oh well, at least it was a fun game to watch.

Wasn't Stu referencing the Belichik video cheating scandal? Not that I agree with him. I don't see why karma would make the NE players lose, since it's Belichik's fault not the team's. Now If Belichik takes the Patriots to the Super Bowl with a 19-0 season, is winning the Super Bowl by 56-0, then in the last minute has a tv camera fall on him and fatally crush him, THAT would be fair karma. And if it doesn't happen that way, then karma doesn't exist.

Wow. Are you even allowed to say that at this point?

This is what happens when you judge a team by its play, and not the hype. They're beatable...several teams have the potential to beat them, and the Eagles proved they're one of them.

Well, I suppose I could rephrase that. I think their offense is as good as advertised, but their defense is not. Their defense has looked a little better up 35 points all the time.

That said, I still think they are going undefeated, and still arguably could be the best team ever, or at least grouped in the bunch.

Again though, every team is beatable at some point, and only the '72 Dolphins technically weren't "beatable" because they won every game, but they certainly could have been beaten. The '85 Bears lost a game along with many other Super Bowl champs were considered some of the best of all time. I just believe in this day and age that if they do go undefeated it will probably be the most impressive out of all those other historically great teams. Even if they lose once they'll still probably be grouped in there.

I'm pretty confident that the Pats won't go undefeated. The pats are going to lose a game in their Steelers > Jets > Dolphins stretch.
