    New England- Seriously

    Say what you will, but this might be the best team in the history of the league. I've never seen anything like them. They can do whatever they want offensively. It's amazing.

    Embrace it folks, we may never see another team this good again.

    I'm loving it. I hope they go undefeated in the regular season and Tom Brady smashes the TD record. Mostly because I have Tom Brady on my fantasy football team, but it would also be something to see.

    Great minds think a like Beaner...I was just about the same thing.

    They may not go undefeated but this team is unreal.

    I would love to see this team go against those real good 49ers teams, or the 85 Bears defense, the Ravens SB defense or the 90's Cowboys teams.

    The scary part about the Pats? They have what looks to be a top 5 pick in the upcoming draft and they aren't a very old team either.

    This is a great team....The word great is thrown around a lot in sports but rarely does it actually have true meaning...Make no mistake about it, this is a GREAT team and perhaps, it is the greatest single season team ever....They need to win a SB first to have that distinction but with the Colts injury issues, the Pats are one level and everyone else is at least 2 levels below them right now.

    Brady is a better fantasy player this year than LT was last year....Scary.

    They are amazing to watch and it's hard to think of any other teams who have played at this level but what I'd like to embrace is someone knocking them out in the playoffs and having go down as one of the NFL's greatest disappointments rather than the NFL's greatest team.

    If I could only convince you to root for a different shade of Blue during College Hoops season.

    For the record, I think this Pats team could beat any of the ones you mentioned above. No disrespect to any of those teams or their accomplishments, but what New England is doing week in and week out is really, in a word, amazing.

    I see no reason that, if they stay injury free, they won't go undefeated.

    They aren't all that young on defense but they should be good for a while. I don't know what their overall salary cap situation is, but they could end up looking quite a bit different next season w/the way their salaries are structured. Moss and Samuel will be looking for big money and guys like Stallworth were signed to low cost deals for 2007 that explode in 2008.

    So ?

    They can just let Moss, Stallworth, and Samuel go and plug others in their place...... all they did was win 3 SB's without them.

    BTW, we can thank the Packers for this...Had they been willing to trade a 4th rounder for Moss, the Patroits don't get him and they look a lot different.

    They wouldn't be where they are today w/o Moss. Brady is going to be the MVP but it's Randy Moss that is the key to that offense. He'll definately be back IMO, but it might be at the expense of some of the very good role players they have.

    Then we might be talking about how amazing GB is... If the 9-1 Packers had Moss this season they might be the team everyone thinks is going to win the SB.

    Without question the greatest team I've ever seen. At least to this point in a season. I remember the 92-93 Cowboys, 94 Niners and the 98 Broncos and none of those teams were even close to dominating a regular season like these guys are doing.

    I'm going to laugh my ass off if the Patriots lose in the divisional round of the playoffs.

    I hear this talk a lot. And, I don't want to embrace them. I hate them. I hate their fans, their arrogant coach, their smug QB, and I did I mention their fans?

    I don't come across as bitter, do I?
