Boston's on a totally wicked high this year!  Wish my Dad were still with us to enjoy this ride!  He would've had a detailed analysis for everyone - - - I'm just gonna smile and cheer!!! Sox, Patriots, Celtics . . . Hare Still not the Bruins though.   3/4 is still pretty damn good though. Our Bruins keep getting beat up - - literally!!!!!   (p.s. the kids loved your paper, we've been doing something fun with it; I'll pm you soon with the results! Thanks again!)   Hare The Bruins do have a bunch of injuries, but they are off to a way better start than expected, they even beat my Leafs on Thursday.     And your welcome.

Okay enough. Please take the God forsaken hockey talk to a hockey thread. It's bad enough your sport is in my newspaper. We don't need the cross pollination polluting high grade football.

Ok, I will stop posting about hockey.

 

You don't have to insult it though.

Don't get me wrong, I respect the sport and have been to several hockey games, both NHL and minor league.

Come on LCC, your on a forum about a Canadian band. Naturally, you're going to run into a few of us Canucks and....well, I think hockey is just genetic up here

Go Leafs!

Hey, let's not forget that the SC did spend a year in Dallas. It's just that we weren't all that impressed.

[liquidcrystalcompass]

They are beating the life out of the Bills.

[Batman]

What the Heck they punted last night put in the back up QB and 4th string running back???

 

Talk about given up

 

They better step up their game before the Jets come into Town I want to see them Drop 100 on them.

I know that for me, forget any regular season records, and play for the SBC. After all, that would put us one up on SF and PITT for the all time best.

How do you figure?

 

The 49ers and Steelers have each won 5 (along with hated Cowboys ), the Patriots have only won 3. The Pats will still be 1 behind if they win it this year. The Pats also have 2 losses in Superbowls, while the 49ers won everyone they appeared in, and the Steelers have only lost 1.

 

If you're just counting appearences the Steelers have been to 6, which the Pats would tie this year, so either way the Pats won't be "one up" on anyone.

I think when people refer to them as the best, like Madden was last night, they are speaking of this team this year - They haven't won it all yet but there has never been a team so dominating in each of it's game as have this years Pats. I have been watching since the early 70's and I have never seen a team so near to perfection as this one even the 72 dolphins had 5 or 6 games where they won with a td or less. I have never seen a front line protect a QB better - I have never seen a QB do whatever he wants to the extent Brady is doing it this year -

You can't make any mistakes against the Pats. One mistake early, and the next thing you know you're down 14 - 21 points in the first quarter. Last night was impressive.

Tom, Randy and the boys put on a football clinic, they could have put up 70 points last night if they really wanted to.

My point was the Pats will still only have 4 wins total to the 49ers and Steelers 5 each.   He said it would put the Pats one up on SF & Pitt for the all time best, can't do that if you're one win behind.

My thoughts exactly!

 

What do you think of the "running up the score" debate, D? At what point should the Bellman not use the stars?

 

This is the big hometeam debate these days - - no one ever questions a win anymore since the defeat of the Colts.

Bill's philosophy is that everytime you go onto the field you should score a touchdown no matter what quarter it is or what the score is - THAT IS WHY THEY BEAT THE COLTS - They have played every down this season as if it was the most important down even if they were up by 20 or 30 - When they fell behind the colts BILL HAD THEM conditioned not to quit but to play as they have every game - It is actually a great philosophy and in no way is he running up the swcore - He is just keeping his team as smooth and perfect as they can be -

[Tortoise and Hare]

Thanks D, pt, and alph!!! Gotcha!!!

 

The argument that I've heard from the coaches at work is not concerned with the embarrassment of the opposition, but rather the needless risk to injury.

 

But, as a fan (who has never played the game ), I sooooooo looooooove a big win!!! I can enjoy the game without the stress of a tight score.

 

Bill knows what he's doing, eh?!?!?! Patriots

 

The Philly game should be interesting!!!

Belchck does a Monday 15 minute spot with WEEI and they asked about going for it on fourth down twice last night.. He said he never was a big fan of putting a three points up on the board when your already leading by 30. So they give the defense a chance to stop them.

He later at the end ask the 2 former players a question what they thought about narrowing the goal post to make kicking a FG harder. He also said he wasn't a big fan of the College or Nfl OT rules he would like it to be a set amount of time say 7-8 minutes

 

About when to take out players the were some that gotten dinged up last night and he kept them out.

 

As for the Greatest Single season Team IF they do run the table then they will and should go down as the Best Ever.

Now if the do it two more years in a row then they would have 5 rings and be the Greatest Franchise in the Super Bowl Era.

The only down side is that they are the only great team when in other eras, there were three or four great teams.

The Eagles came close last night, but close only counts in horseshoes and hand gernades.

 

11-0.

 

Sunday Dec. 3, Ravens.
