we need to send Holmgren back to greenbay,,,,,and get Parcells in here to whip us into shape[/quote]




You mean like he is whipping the Cowboys into shape?



Best team=Denver.

 

Well I agree that the Pats are one of the best, but the only reason they beat the Colts was because Indy fumbled twice inside the 5 yard line. They only lost by 3. Not saying Indy is better, but they are a top contender. I cant wait for the playoffs! The dang Rams are not very impressive this year are they?

 

i think the pats will do good this year they will probably make it to the superbowl but i osdnt know about them being the best. pittsburgh is probably the best

 

Nothing against true patriots fans, but I am tired of people who became patriots fans in the last 3 years. I am not even talking about people on here, just in the general public there are three times as many fans as 10 years ago. Stupid bandwagons. Pick your team and stick with it good or bad.

Go Vikings

 

Colts. Peyton Manning is going to own the most touchdown passes in a season this year.

 

GYTR450,

I would have to agree with you that Manning will probably break Marino's single season touchdown record. He has quite the group of receivers as long as no one gets hurt.

How many touchdowns did he have today? I saw they scored a bunch again.

 

6...and he could have gotten more....but Dungy took him out in the 3rd quarter and put the backup guy in

 

I have to say that long time Pats fans have endured some very bad seasons along the road to a quality franchise. The early 90's were a peticular embarassment.......does anyone remember the previous owner Victor Kiam???....of Remington electric shaver fame. What sleaze bag he was. Does anyone remember Lisa Olsen......and "Patriot Missles"??? ......Rod Rust.....1 - 15 season etc, etc.....the very bottom of the NFL in every aspect. After Victor Sleaziod went bankrupt the NFL had to step in and essentially take recievership of the team and set up a temperary/interim/caretaker owner arrangement with a rich guy from St.Louis named James Orthtwine. I think he was a big shot a one time with Anheiser(sp) Busch. He almost moved the team to St.Louis. Finally, the current owner Robert Kraft stepped in and bought the team in I believe 1993. He has completely transformed what was at the time the very WORST NFL franchise into what can now be argued the best. It was not an easy ride either......much uglyness with Parsells/Patriots/Jets.......Belechick/Jets/Patriots........getting the new stadium built seemed more difficult than getting John Kerry to take a stand on an issue. Ultimately the stadium is awesome......and it was privately financed. The Patriots organization from the top down is now a model of tremendous management. They manage the salary cap extremely well..........they don't cave to the cap-busters (Lawyer Milloy/Ty Law).......they find diamonds hidden on other teams benches (Mike Vrabel/Pittsburg) and turn late round draft picks into starters (too many to name but Tom Brady is one)......... and of course the coaching has been tremendous.

If the Pats get knocked out of the playoffs this year........you can rest assured they'll be back again and again. The way Robert Kraft and his staff manage all aspects of the business means the Pats will be at the top for some time to come........but it didn't happen without many bumps in the road along the way.

 

yeah that would be the day....that hell freezes over that is...but you never know...with the temps that we have right now it is possible that it is already started to frost up a little [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

i dont think anyone in our conference wants to win...greenbay and vikings are at the top with being 8-6...

thanks for the history

brings back some memories of when I worked at Foxboro Stadium back in 1993 (security job while I was in school at Dean)

The Pats have been my favorite team since the Bears squashed em back in 85.

Your right,,,,the early 90's were pathetic. The fans didn't even want signatures back then.
