G3: Patriots 7, Broncos 17

End of a dynasty? I can't accept the argument that the game was lost on bad calls. Sure, the Pats were hurt by the officials, but I can't see that they lost the game because if it. Brady attempted 55 passes, which seems like a lit. Can we get a receiver? The only scoring drive was a beauty. Only worked because they Broncos's defense was so depeleted, it seemed.

I love the viciousness between Michael Felger (of the Herald) and ___________ _________ (Drew Bledsoe's defender) on the late night wrap-ups.

Lobel and DeOssie go through two, three handles of Jack during the game?

Denver/Shanahan have always had our number.

Chill out, it's one game out of 16. We're still probably going to be 12-4/11-5.

This team is only one safety better than the Buffalo Bills.

I save my passion for issues that matter. The hashing and rehashing of our local sports teams is merely for amusement.

Unlike Michael Felger's attitude. He is pissed!

Whoa... may I remind you that in 2003 the Pat got shut out by the Bills, creamed the Eagles, lost on the last play of the game to the Redskins, then went on to run the table for the next 21 games. Now... I don't think they're going to do that, but I doubt the season's over just yet. It takes some time for a team to gel. The remaining schedule has 5 potentially tough games (@ Bengals, @ Vikings, Colts, Bears, @ Jaguars) and they could/should win 2 (or 3) of those. The other game should be gimmies (Dolphins, @ Bills, Jets, @ Packers, Lions, @ Dolphins, Texans, @ Titans).

11-5 or 12-4. That <i>might</i> be enough for a bye week. Certainly the season ending game @ Titans is a bye week.

I concur on the 5 potentially tough games you've indicated. I wouldn't count on a sweep of all the division games, however. The Jets are dangerous, so are the Dolphins, right?

I think the Jets are better than a lot of people expected. The Dolphins, not so much. Maybe if Joey Harrington is their quarterback, but Daunte looks awful.
