    Man, you make a lot of bold claims right there...


    And I can't disagree with any of them. This team is going to roll to the SB. The '72 Fins ain't gonna be celebrating anytime soon.

    I'm here for my crow. Pats did an oustanding job with the clock management. The Pats were sending a messsage. Going for it on 4th is just part of the message.

    Boys will bounce back. They ran out of juice in the 4th qtr

    If I keep watching and rooting for the Texans, someday..............someday a Texans win will mean more to me than a Dallas loss.

    Until then...........today is a wonderful day.

    That was almost as bad of a beatdown as the Jags gave the Texans.

    No it was worse. We're well aware of our deficiencies via talent and injury.

    Cowgirls think they're the best in a conference that is the equivalent of the NL Central. Plus, they played at home.

    This beatdown is worse.

    Cowgirls can suck it!

    Yeah, Pats were a better team today, no doubt about it.

    Hats off to em.

    Ok, haters, now your life can have meaning again, at least for one week. :)

    This team is genius. They turned the whole "videotaping/cheating" incident into an "it's us against the world" motivator. Even though ESPN is constantly slobbing their collective knobs.

    IF they can beat Indy they will go undefeated.

    This the second time Dallas has faced a team with a good qb and this is the second time Dallas’ defense has been lit up (week 1 - NYG). Unless Tank Johnson and a healthy Anthony Henry are going to make a big difference, NYG, GB and/or Washington can take them out in the playoffs.

    Anything is possible but I doubt they go undefeated unless it's a horserace until the very end against the Colts or Steelers for best record and home field advantage. It's tough to win all 16 no matter how good they are. Plus, the Pats have practically clinched their division already since the other teams are 1-4, 1-5 and 0-6. It's hard to believe the Pats are in the worst division in football even though they are 6-0. Weird year.

    I betcha one game late this season the Pats will play bad and lose because they will be complacent and have nothing to play for.

    If they get to 13-0 or 14-0. They're going to get it, no way they are going to get that far and lose concentration when they can make history.

    Looking at their schedule the Redskin game on 10/28 could be interesting. It will be the week before the Colts game and the Redskins have the best secondary in the league - Springs, Rodgers, Smoot, Landry, Taylor. They may be able to somewhat contain the Pats WR's.

    But I agree with you. If they get that far they will go for it. I would expect the colts/steelers to put just enough heat on them to keep them playing at a high level until week 14 or so. Then their once-in-a-lifetime shot to go undefeated will take them home.

    I understand why you feel The Cowboys getting beat is worse. Simply put, because the Cowboys had a chance to be in the thick of it but shot themselves in the foot with many silly penalties, while you seem to expect the Texans to lose.

    I didn't really expect the cowboys to win, but I was definitely encouraged that they could stay with the Pats for most of the game, esp considering how crappy romo played last week.

    If it wasn't for their stupid penalties and some lapses in coverage, they might have been able to sneak out a W.

    "Games of the Century" shouldn't result in postgame quotes like this from fans of the losing team.

    Wow, I know exactly what you mean. After the Texans got blown out I was really depressed. But after the Cowboys lost, everything was alright again. That's not right.
