That defense is just awful...

Correction Brady is never out of the game. I honestly think with the team in front of Brady this year that the Pats would be just about as bad as the colts are without Manning.

You need a new signature.

[Sainters7]

Niners are taking this game over.

[Montana Moe]

Wicked hit in the Seahawks game. I'm sure they'll call some kind of penalty, unfortunately. Hope Williams is OK.

[Montana Moe]

Yeah, thanks for nothing, Seahawks.

[Sainters7]

Just finished on the PVR. Way to not protect the ball whatsoever on that QB scramble, T-Jax. You could see that strip/fumble coming before it even happened. Just bad awareness there.

Can't see them losing to the Rams, looks like the Saints will have a rematch date with Detroit or Atlanta in 2 weeks.

well...yes of course, except Gronkowski, Hernandez, Welker, Green-Ellis, Branch, Mayo, Carter, Ninkovich, Ellis, Mankins, Wilfork, Woodhead, the special teams and of course the Coach(es) who manage to find ways to win with just Tom Brady. Dont forget Brady was injured a few years ago and the team still managed to win.

Play-offs!!!

Hopefully, the 49ers or Falcons find some ways to lose because I think the play-offs will be a short and not very fun experience if we are playing in the Superdome in 2 weeks.

Obviously the debacle at the end of the first half hurt the Seahawks, and of course, the fumble from Jackson when they were 25 yards or so out of FG range was the killer
Forset not running out of bounds on the last drive was idiodic as was the throw out of bounds on 4th down from Jackson.

But Lynch ran for 100 yard (first player to do that on San Fran in 2+ years) and a rushing TD (first player to do that this year). Of course, you see San Fran fans and some players spitting out Skittles after the last fumble by Jackson.

Tough one, Seattle went toe for toe and held SF to no TD's and 4 FG's and had a couple chances to win that game.

Again, that 6-3 ugly Cleveland loss without Jackson and Lynch (last minute got hurt), really really hurt the Seahawks chances against that bad Cleveland team.

Interesting to see how the offseason plays out but overall happy with the team this year...some close loses but a defense that has come into its own.

After reading these I wish AP a speedy recovery.

Source just confirmed both Adrian Peterson's MCL and ACL are torn.

One of the nastiest knee injuires I've ever seen. Brutal hit.

[Lil Pedro]

Way to lay an egg today SD....ughhhh
Congrats to all the Lions fans out there, its been a long time coming

[Hockey]

The Titans loss to the Colts really hurts now. If they had won that game and then beat the Texans next week they would have gotten in. Now they still have a chance but so much needs to happen

1. Ten W + Cin L+Jets W+Oak L or tie

2. Ten W +Cin L + Jets W + Den l or tie

3. Ten W + Cin L + Jets L or tie + Oak W + Den W

The Pats D is well below average, and all those guys you named on O are useless without Brady putting the ball in their hands. You could make a similar list using the Colts, and look here they are without an all-world QB.

What an uneducated statement. Have you ever watched Gronkowski play football? Im pretty sure the man would be a beast with me throwing him the ball. you cant teach size and strength.

Yeah totally uneducated, I've never seen a game. What a moronic post.

Gronkowski's great, but I don't know if you noticed that TE needs someone to throw the ball to him. Did you pick up on that?

[Flabbibulin]

The Pats would be nothing without Brady? Ya, I get it, but couldn't the exact same thing be said of about 10 other NFL teams with franchise quarterbacks?? Im not really sure why its popular in football to point out that certain elite teams are only elite because of the QB- that's the entire point of having a franchise guy. If you think its better to have a decent all around team and then put a chump like Sanchez at the helm, then go right ahead. If Tom Brady alone is gonna make you the most successful football team for 10 years, then great

Then again, wasn't it the Pats that went 11-5 without Brady... with arguably fewer offensive weapons

How is it a "moronic post" you discredited every single offensive player on the pats with your ingenious post including the record setting TE, league leader in receiving yards, a former superbowl MVP and arguably one of the best offensive lines in the game.

Lol and only brady could hit a 6'7 260 pnd TE who is a matchup nightmare for every team in the league.

You my friend are not one i would look to for football advice.

Im not even gonna start with Welker because your argument is so beyond ridiculous. all i will say is 2008. Am i saying Brady isnt the best in the game, no but i am saying that hes not the only talent on the team and to say so is just beyond "moronic"
