Yeah, I'd watch, but it won't end 'til 11..I gotta get some sleep, 5 AM comes too soon...and Jeez, I live in the land of the Husker...can't wait until they lose one..they'll be sacrificing virgins and linemen when it happens...that's what happens when you live in a state with NO professional sports...every weekend I see signs,  blow up dolls, shirts, with the "N"owledge logo on them...

Yeah Pats, 27-24. I watched until the 4th, because I had PT this morning.

We need our defense to step up, or we're not going to win so much. They basically got trampled last night save for a few moments.

Something tells me it's going to be another year of the same for the Pats...

Oddly enough, they aren't a 100% dominant team like the 49ers, Cowboys or Packers of yore.  Instead, they are the luckiest team on the face of Professional Sports... :D

They were like that last year, and I see it happening again this year... Comeon, fumbie on the 1 yard line after the Pats give Indy 30+ yards on a stupid "pass interference" call...  Alomst as miraculous as that 1 yard stand last year, or how they beat over 2/3rds of the teams they faced last year...

Still, whether it's luck or actual skill, 3 more wins puts the Pats in the record books...  (and 18 more wins gets them an undefeated season with repeat for the stupor bowl...)

That was a fun game to watch, but the Colts really gave it away.

James fumbled twice in Pats territiory, Manning throwing a pick from the 6, and that last mistake, moving the Blitz pick-up to the left vs an overload on the OTHER side, and Manning never looked until he was hit!

Its not really luck I think. To me its more of a teamwork ethic. When you stick together in the bad situations (colts threatening on the 1 last year, brushing the snow off the field against the Raiders) then you can do anything.

For all of you that like to add a little 'monitary excitement' to your football viewing, I would advise watching Troy University (Formerly Troy State). The way that they waxed Missouri last night, they are going to be a team to watch.
