NFL - NEWS & NOTES

I disagree, and I meant exactly what I posted.

 

Death, taxes, the sun rising in the East...and the Patriots.

Just amazing.

 

Don't take what I'm posting about a teams' opponents' W/L record wrong. Good teams beat the teams they should beat. Great teams beat the good teams.

Connect those dots any way you wish to connect them

 

I don’t think you’re wrong at all. But good teams will occasionally lose games they shouldn’t.

 

"On Any Given Sunday"

 

And that's why they're good teams - not great teams.

IMHO, this season is still way too early to determine if there's a great team out there.

 

I'll even go out on a limb here and predict that NO team will finish the regular season 16-0.

(Pretty short limb, I know)

 

There are a bunch of mediocre to bad teams, then you have the ol' parity thing going on, but, the cream should rise to the top, not always, but as we go, I think we will have a clearer picture as to who is great.

On the flip side... we may not have a GREAT team, but a collection of some good teams.

I wanna see more matchups that allow us to judge this better and as the season winds through, I think we will.

 

Patriots and 49ers are the only undefeated teams left. The 1972 Dolphins are ready to pop that cork

 

The cork popping will get closer tonight.

 

The Patriots are on their way to number seven. Nobody in the league even comes close to them except maybe a camless Carolina.

 

You're also the guy that thinks the Giants are going to the playoffs and Daniel Jones is the GOAT.

 

fine Tim have it your way since this is your website! trying to calm some people here but you run things here so go ahead.

 

Just for the record:

Through 4 weeks, 27 teams have an opponent's W/L record better than the Patriots. (Including every other team in the AFC East and the entire AFC North, AFC South and AFC West - in other words . . . Every other team in the AFC.)

 

They'd better hurry. Not too many of those guys left.

 

Pats are scoring 31 points a game and giving up less than 7.

Yeah their opponents haven't been as tough as some other teams...but you can only play the teams you're scheduled to play.

 

Agreed. Just offering up a grain of salt.

 

I bought your grain of salt with my 2 pennies.

 

I’m not looking for permission.

 

We'll still have the direction from Sean Payton in that situation and I have a lot of faith in him knowing what he is doing.
